| dc.description.abstract | Today, there is a big emphasis on living in the present moment. From an increase in people
attending meditation and yoga classes to a surge in encouraging self-care, the world is
beginning to value the present moment more and more. This practical study looks at into how
training in being able to create present mindset as a performer can create another layer to
their craft with a primary focus on three objects of improved concentration, improved
foundation to stimulate creative ideas and a stronger connection between performers and the
space. Throughout her career, Marina Abramovic used presence and engaging with the
natural energy created as a foundation of her work which she then moulded into the Abramovic
Method. The research uses exercises inspired by the Abramovic Method to encourage
participants to engage in a present state of mind grounding themselves in the present time
and space. | en |
