Abstract
This article provides a brief dialogue between the practice of mindfulness and the actor’s training from some neuroscientific evidences that prove the psychophysical benefits associated to the development of the attention capacity. Initially, the text makes a paradigmatic analysis in which the meditative practice serves as an example for the questioning regarding the importance of attention for the work of the actor. In a second moment, the present article seeks to highlight the advantages that the exercise of mindfulness can offer for the development of the psychophysical potential and the creative processes of the theatre artist.
