That which vibrates and weaves within him, that which is suppressed there, is to be brought to [representation] through the art of eurythmy. On the stage, the whole human being should become a larynx. But that which resonates through the artistically designed language, the musically artistically designed sound as a human soul mood, as rhythm, alliteration, rhyme, assonance, as soul feeling and soul life, that is to come to revelation in the group eurythmy movements, in the movements in space, which are performed by a number of performers. In this way something can be achieved that, like music, has its own inner laws.
