Now eurythmy is actually an art that uses the whole human being as a means of expression, that is, it creates through the formal language of the whole human organization and can thus advance to the very sources of the sensual and supersensible. For we have the human being before us as the most perfect sensual form, and we have speech in such a way before us that the soul is expressed everywhere. By taking the soul as our basis, you will see this person, or groups of people, on stage, accompanied by recitation or music, which are, after all, only a different expression of the same thing, an expression in a different form.
