Acting on stage, body language is more important than facial expression. Strong poses, exaggerate movements and quite symbolic poses. For example: When 2 people facing each other holding hands and leaning on a oppossite direction = trust, dependent to each other.
OR
When one person is in a middle of a circle, surrounded by people and those people are looking down on him/her = domination, etc.
Body poses will deliver the message/ story to the audience.
Acting for camera, facial expression is more important than body language for example: Well...medium shot and close-up. The camera will focus on your face, therefore you have to limit your body movement.

Yay! I'm joining the intermediate plus acting class...!
And this is the first day....
We take further the Brecht technique. We had 2 people on stage, each had been given a sentence and they can only use the sentence to achieve their objectives, no other words...
Some tips
---------------
During conversation between two people or in a group:
*) Don't feel like that you have to take turn or wait other people to finish their sentence. (depending on the script of course)
*) Do not feel that you have to be polite to other people.
*) Always think about your objective and keep your character.
