The relationship between gesture and thought is a key concept for all actors and actresses. Gestures are used to convey the thoughts for the audience to understand from the perspective of the actor(s). Actors incorporate gestures into their performances to tell their fellow actors on stage their specific feelings and thoughts for them to correspondingly respond and explain to the audience how a certain situation makes a character feel or how an event can change the entire feel of the performance. Gestures additionally help to support the mood and tone of the play to the audience and highlight the importance of the scene or act. The actor's hand is required and needs to be very conscious of its actions when trying to express a thought or specific emotion. Even a slight mess up or incorrect gestures can come across to the audience as a different emotion and change the entire feel of the play. Therefore, the hand of a character must be very careful and always at watch.
