59. Eurythmy Performance
Of course, this can only be portrayed by depicting the spiritual world itself and its effect on the human being. This is what Goethe tried to do. But something like the penetration of the spiritual world into the sensual world can be well portrayed in eurythmy. And wherever the supersensible world must enter into human life in the dramatic [poetry] — otherwise we present lyric poetry, and you will also see today how we will present lyric poetry — but in the dramatic world, the eurythmic art is particularly suitable. I have not yet succeeded in finding a corresponding eurythmic form for the rest of the drama, but I am working on it and it must be found. It must also be possible to present the dramatic process as the actual artistic element of the dramatic and the tragic in eurythmy.
