Abstract

This article establishes relationships between working words and concepts in the work of Grotowski and Gurdjieff. Particularly, it investigates concepts of essence and personality, common to Grotowski and Gurdjieff, relating them to the presence and quality of attention, such as the emergency of voluntary contact between these two aspects. Voluntary contact implies special conditions which are not natural, but artificial, and which can be created by human beings in their recurring and extraordinary interactions.
