The Origin and Development of Eurythmy 1923–1925

GA 277d — 2 December 1923, Dornach

Eurythmy Performance

If I should miss another week, Dziubanjuk could perhaps have her gentlemen perform again for eurythmy clothing: two donkeys, a picket fence, Nasobem, Mondendinge, two roots would be grateful tasks.

—From a letter from Marie Steiner to Rudolf Steiner, Berlin, November 23, 1923

Now I must go straight to the dress rehearsal for the performance you have arranged for tomorrow. All the young men will be performing the parts you wrote down for me. Once again, part of the performance will be given by the ladies and part by the young men.
—From a letter from Rudolf Steiner to Marie Steiner, Dornach, December 1, 1923

It's a pity that I can't attend the dress rehearsal where you will be cheering on the men. If the ladies ask you for tone eurythmy forms, I would be very grateful if you could give them to them.
—From a letter from Marie Steiner to Rudolf Steiner, Berlin, December 3, 1923
