12. Eurythmy Performance

In recent times, people have forgotten how to relate to true poetic art. You really can't recite or declaim at all today because you always read prose. Here the human being is compelled to know that poetry is more than mere prose, that poetry is formed, shaped language. Therefore, when it is recited – which means you will also hear what you are giving in the movements – it will be rendered through artful speaking, not through prosaic declamation, as you can see everywhere where art is lost in this field. A genuine art must be found again for declamation. This art is being learned right now, when one is compelled to adapt declamation to what man, when he is completely larynx, must express.
