Description
Diversity specialist and folklorist Norine Dresser explores how culture affects movement in order to teach actors how to portray characters from different cultures. She outlines differences in behaviors among non-U.S. cultures and introduces multicultural manners. The program covers such topics as greetings, shaking hands, physical contact between the sexes, eye contact, smiling, embracing, and kissing; it emphasizes that acceptable norms vary among cultures; and it examines cultural variations in eating customs, including the use of utensils and belching.
