Kinesics is related to

Treating it as spoken words would place it in verbal exchange, but kinesics reads the body, not language codes.

Linking it to large-audience broadcasting confuses a channel of reach with a category of bodily signs.

Tying it to small-group settings names a context of interaction rather than the medium of physical movement it studies.
