  • "ART THOU PAYING ATTENTION?" - PRESENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY IN THE PERFORMING ARTS (2023) author(s): Camilla Damkjaer published in: Research Catalogue, Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH)
    This essay is reflection on the research project “ Presence and sustainability in the Performing arts” conducted by Camilla Damkjaer and Johanna Garpe at Stockholm University of the Arts 2021-2023. The project started from the idea that the premise of the performing arts is to capture people’s attention. At the same time our attention is under pressure through experience economy, digitalisation and work-life conditions. We wanted to explore ways of creating sustainable relations to attention within this field. The purpose was of the project was therefore to develop a more sustainable relation to attention within the performing arts, in the meeting with meditative practices.
