Proxemic messages could be used, but with extreme caution, because they can be easily misinterpreted. The spatial aspect represents an analysis of how the debater uses the stage or the space he is standing in or sitting on. It has several functions from the basic homeostatic to the aesthetic. The rhythm of breathing, eye movement, hands and legs, and the whole body gives meaning to someone s expression. Carefully planned sudden changes in rhythm will increase attention and stress the importance of the speaker s point.
Movement has to be discreet in debating, but it is nevertheless important.
As the largest element in communication, it has integrative value and has to be congruent with the other aspects of communication. These aspects are dependent on individual and collective ideals.

Likewise, the debater is responsible for the shock created by an unusual or a rebellious style of dressing. Sensitivity, awareness, freedom and creativity in non-verbal expression can make enormous impact in debating.
