Abstract
This paper explores some of the ways in which a mindfulness-based performer training can enable performers to cultivate embodied awareness. Recent science is used to develop a discussion which builds from body awareness into the cultivation of states of 'embodiment'. In particular, Khoury et al's 'Embodied Mindfulness' schema (2023) is used to develop a model of embodied mindfulness training for performers. The practical applicability of these ideas is explored through examples drawn from practical performance research.
