In a factory, on the other hand, you
are likely to make a better impression with a much more active pose that
matches the energy and speed of manufacturing operations.
You should not, however, take any pose as a _pretense_. Whatever poses
you employ to augment the things you say should be used as _means for
the better communication of truth, not to falsify_ in any degree. And
you will need to be extremely careful lest you over-do a particular pose
and suggest affectation. Doubtless you have characteristic poses.
Analyze yourself. _Determine what your habits of pose mean to other
people_. Then make such changes in your characteristic poses as will
signify only the best traits you have.
[Sidenote: Action]
Next we will make a brief study of _actions_ from four viewpoints.
First, the _lines_ of action;
Second, the _directions_ of action;
Third, the _planes_ of action;
Fourth, the _tension_ or the _laxity_ of action.
[Sidenote: Lines of Action]
All movements are in straight, single curved, or multiple curved _lines
of action_.
