First of all thank you for all of your videos.
I have a question.
I understand every force (thinking,feeling, willing) individually but I don't know how to combine these three forces to make psychological gesture.
Please explain about this a little more and make an example.
Again thanks

Sir plz what is chacarater in script how to do feel and found what is trick work found and feel differnt type

[@LisaDaltonandMichaelChekhov]

SANJAY KOTIYA , each character has a “feeling” life with a kind of quality. For example, a character might be easily affected by things and very expressive with his emotions. He might overreact to small things, getting easily upset and then he might let it go. Another character might not show his emotions at all but hangs on to them for a long time inside. A third guy might always have a cheerfulness that he brings everywhere with him. A fourth guy might have a sadness that seems to run his life. These are different kinds of “feeling force” characters. If these characters are predominately operating from their feelings then they let their emotions decide or guide what they do and how they think. I hope this helps answer your question and thank you for watching and asking.

I am chekhovian student.... I am very confused about psychological gestures. How to find pschogestures in script? Please help Ma'am 😇

[@sophie3869]

You don't so much find psychogestures in the script but decide them for yourself. Try running it with different gestures and see what feels right. It won't be the same for every actor. Which gesture you pick and the quality of that gesture is one of the few things actors can control.
