How do you perform Impulse work and what is it beneficial for?

Impulse work makes you rely on your instincts as an actor. You have to trust your initial decisions and make them work. We performed impulse work by stopping whenever we had the urge, this helped us allow our instincts to take the wheel and control how we act. This will be beneficial because as actors, especially when performing naturalistic plays, we need to act as if it were the first time experiencing it, not something that has been rehearsed. Instincts can bring a performance to life, and can also help the actor immerse themselves within the character and the subconscious.
If you have a thorough understanding of the play you will be able to lose yourself within the character, Impulse work helps you get there.
