### Eurythmy Performance

*On December 3, 1923, there was a performance by the students of the Berlin Eurythmy School, which had probably been rehearsed beforehand with Marie Steiner, who was present at the performance.*

> The eurythmy performance was quite nice, as were some of the things that followed.  
> —From a letter from Marie Steiner to Rudolf Steiner, Berlin, December 3, 1923
> Only things that have power behind them will have a real effect. This is the case when, as in the speech courses, eurythmy, and other subjects, something real is given. That is why I am so pleased that you have had such great success with the speech course and that you have managed to organize a eurythmy performance so quickly.
