How do you perform impulse work and what is it beneficial for it?
We perform impulse work by reacting and living in the real moment. Performing impulse work is all bout being able to switch of the sub concious mind and ignoring social insecurities, leading you to not construct a reaction or movement from our minds but from a natural instinct or in other words an impulse of emotion.
Impulse work is important because performing using your mind can often be unbelievable and not natural. When you live in the moment and react from with in it creates a truthful and interesting piece of theatre, therefore impulse work is beneficial for naturalism and truthful acting.
Impulse work also allows you to react to your fellow actors thoughts and feelings more tentatively. Your reaction to your partner may change and develop as there feelings change, impulse work forces you to connect with your partner on a different level and again creates a truthful piece.
What is milling and what is it beneficial for?
Milling is moving around the space using parts of your body that we don't normally use when walking, so using your elbows, sides of our hands and feet, heads etc. Milling is allowing your body to be free in movement and feeling the energy between two people. Milling allows you to stop thinking about your movements but let your body carry your weight.
I have learnt that we have confirmed to this idea we have to walk in one way yet there are so many other parts of our body and muscles that can be used to travel. I have learnt how important it is to get in touch with your body and the energy between people.
Capoeira is a good example of allowing your body to be free and move in ways we don't normally. It builds strength and confidence in your body and allows you to express feelings using your body.
