French term

geste théâtral

French to English Art/Literary Music
taken from a text concerning a pianist' work, composing for the theater: "Il se nourrit de tout. Il absorbe le geste théâtral, le scrute, le décode et s'y infiltre, nécessaire."

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

dramaturgical gesture

Trying to avoid "dramatic gesture" or "theatrical gesture", which are likely to be misunderstood.

"dramaturgical facet"
"dramaturgical sign"
or just plain "dramaturgy"
Peer comment(s):

agree VictoriaAris (X) : Needs to be more specific, as anyone can make a 'dramatic gesture' and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with theatre. "Dramatical" might also work at a push but I think is weaker.

theatrical enactment

After considering different possibilities, IMO the following should suit. Further context would be helpful!

"theatrical enactment – the relation between spectators and performers – is a social practice in which spectators attend to the physical and verbal expressions, the sounds and the movements of performers who, by means of those expressions, sounds, movements, and so on, occasion audience responses to whatever the performers have arranged for them to observe about human life..."
