ABSTRACT Reading Sharon Carnicke’s research about Active Analysis (2010, 2016) led me to make connections between this technique and my own directing and teaching practice. Bella Merlin too records a process she encountered in Russia which emerges from the work of Maria Knebel (Merlin 2001). This description also resonated with me strongly in my use of Impulse Work, a term that Melbourne theatre practitioners commonly use to denote a particular type of physical and spatial improvisation. It was from this context that I approached the workshop offered by Sharon Carnicke at The S Word: A Practical Acting Laboratory in April 2018. I was interested to discover in what ways the approach taken by Maria Knebel and taught by Carnicke connected to my own experiences of incorporating Impulse Work into my work on the floor with actors and with students. The investigation of the growth and adaption of forms of Impulse Work, allows a pattern of comparable approaches across a range of directors and teachers, both locally and globally, to emerge. This article suggests the diverse sources for the technique which have been synthesized by Melbourne practitioners over the last four decades. My research into the lineages of Impulse Work and my involvement in the workshop with Carnicke leads me to suggest that this technique shares key principles with Active Analysis and offers an excellent training and preparation for the application of Active Analysis in the rehearsal room.

在实践中探索冲动工作和主动分析

摘要 阅读 Sharon Carnicke 关于主动分析的研究（2010 年，2016 年）让我将这种技术与我自己的指导和教学实践联系起来。贝拉·梅林 (Bella Merlin) 也记录了她在俄罗斯遇到的一个过程，该过程源自 Maria Knebel (Merlin 2001)。这个描述在我使用 Impulse Work 时也引起了我的强烈共鸣，墨尔本戏剧从业者通常用这个术语来表示特定类型的物理和空间即兴表演。正是在这种背景下，我参加了 Sharon Carnicke 于 2018 年 4 月在 The S Word: A Practical Acting Laboratory 提供的研讨会。将 Impulse Work 融入到我与演员和学生一起在地板上的工作中。对 Impulse Work 形式的增长和适应的调查，使得在本地和全球范围内的一系列董事和教师之间出现了一种可比较的方法模式。本文提出了墨尔本从业者在过去四年中合成的技术的多种来源。我对 Impulse Work 谱系的研究以及我与 Carnicke 的研讨会的参与使我认为，这种技术与主动分析共享关键原则，并为在排练室中应用主动分析提供了极好的培训和准备。本文提出了墨尔本从业者在过去四年中合成的技术的多种来源。我对 Impulse Work 谱系的研究以及我与 Carnicke 的研讨会的参与使我认为，这种技术与主动分析共享关键原则，并为在排练室中应用主动分析提供了极好的培训和准备。本文提出了墨尔本从业者在过去四年中合成的技术的多种来源。我对 Impulse Work 谱系的研究以及我与 Carnicke 的研讨会的参与使我认为，这种技术与主动分析共享关键原则，并为在排练室中应用主动分析提供了极好的培训和准备。
