gesturers

Those who motion

Gesturers are people who gesture—who use movements of the hands, arms, or body to communicate or emphasize meaning.

Some people are natural gesturers, their hands constantly in motion while speaking: Italians are stereotyped as enthusiastic gesturers.

The word appears most often in discussions of communication styles or body language.
