I came on here to say just that, they are cue’s. They are movements to a rehearsal part that has been drilled into them time and time again until they got it right. I often think it’s funny that we critique what a conductor does with our eyes and miss the entire point of what he’s doing. It’s not our eyes that should be critical, it’s our ears. I play music as well. Eye contact can be a form of communication when other forms are “busy”. When I look to the other musicians on stage and give them TheLook@ they follow, on cue, in time, to the look. It’s also completely natural for both the cue person and the recipient. It’s deeper than our conscious brain. I find it fascinating.
