I read a lot of Gurdjieff when younger. Not sure to make of it then, and now. He worked with sacred dances, from an ancient tradition, and I think some of his work involved just stopping your movement and becoming aware of yourself. Seems a far cry from bloody Abramovic.
Article mentions Gurdjieff was seen as a spy. H.P. Blavatsky, who essentially founded the New Age movement was also said to be an intelligence operative.
It's interesting that JdD/JoG's operation supposedly used white clothing as a symbol of purity, but the second article points out white clothes are used in rituals when blood is involved.

White and black are used in occult rituals since they are 'non-colours'. Some cults (of the child rape variety) wear black, others white.

Please read @9217's excellent Steemit article they did last year about Marina Abramovic's visit to Brazil:

And her other post about Marina Abramovic's interaction with John of God in Brazil:

With Jog, Abramovic, et. al. the white clothes serve to emphasize the red blood. Red and black also used in the occult.
