This is an example of UP body language. Your body language goes upward when you are joyful. UP body language is a term I coined in the field of body language. The photo is of the preview night of the music man on Broadway. Notice how characters are so filled with joy and excitement their feet lift off the ground in unison in the dance. The lift goes up through their bodies so that many also lift their arms high above their heads. When you see this in the theater you are lifted and joyful as you watch it
Can you think of a movie scene or a character or several characters walking or moving upward with happiness that’s a standard drama or comedy rather than a musical?
