GA 277d — 3 March 1923, Stuttgart

Eurythmy Performance

Draft announcement for the performances in Stuttgart, March 3-7, 1923

The following draft announcement was intended for several performances, as indicated by Rudolf Steiner's numbering and Marie Steiner's handwritten additions (in italics). The announcements were first printed in the magazine Anthroposophy on February 22, 1923, but the same text was also used for the newspaper advertisement for the performance on April 1, 1923 (see p. 141). According to Ernst Uehli's report, Rudolf Steiner gave speeches before the performances on March 6 and 7, 1923, but no records of these speeches have survived.
