Abstract

This research investigates the construction of a quality of consciousness as attention and presence in the actor/performer¿s work. For this, in the first chapter, we deal on the notion of awareness in the theatrical context, as well the necessary notes about the dicothomy mind/body, and then, find the thought of Francisco Varela, Yasuo Yuasa and Philip B. Zarrilli, ways to (re)consider an another possible quality for the consciousness. Guided by the analysis the work of Jerzy Grotowski in the end of his life (the period know as Art as Vehicle), the second chapter focuses on the notions of Verticality, Awareness, Performer and the binomial I-I presented by the polish director. Besides an analysis on this momento of Grotowski¿s research, we present a dialogue with Varela, Yuasa and Zarrilli, in order to favor the Idea of the artist¿s work on himself (on the notion of "self-cultivation"), linking art and life, understanding in this process the construction of an subtle and refined quality of consciousness. In a third moment, we direct the focus of the research for creative processes of the author, relating theoretical discourse and lived experience in order to find their own ways in the construction of this particular quality of consciousness (AU)
