Acting on stage vs acting for camera

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.
