Impulses are starting points initiated without a plan being made on how the entire movement is going to develop. In this conception of movement, you don’t have an intellectual image of a whole sequence of motion but you expose your body to impulses, you vary and accumulate rules, initiations, directions, connections, tensions, release, and let the solutions emerge. —-Thomas Hauert
