The most interesting thing for me was how the angle of the eyes effects the angle of your body and spinal column and how different expressions and emotions are interpreted and shown in in the eyes and in the spinal column and the body.
Another thing I found really cool and made me think was the idea that these actors work for years and train for years to alter their face to show different emotions and feelings that can be considered as basic human emotions. It's strange to think that we have to teach and condition our own bodies to do these faces that are at the core of human emotions.
It's interesting to learn about the kabuki theatre and the ways they use their eyes at different angles during their performances and how their body translates this also through wide stances and postures. Another is the ideas of manis and keras.
"Eyes infront, Heart behind"
"When placed on the face it should enable one to experience a state of neutrality prior to action, a state of receptiveness to everything around us, with no inner conflict...when the student has experienced the neutral starting point his body will be freed, like a blank page on which drama can be inscribed."
