60. Eurythmy Performance

You all know that by speaking, I transmit the movement that the larynx performs to the air, and it is precisely this moving air that transmits my sounds to you. If you look at this movement, however, you see small quivering movements; you do not pay attention to what is actually going on in the larynx and neighboring organs because, when speaking or singing, you turn your attention to what you hear. But someone who has developed an intuitive sense for sensory and supersensory perception can use a certain intuition to enter not into the small tremors, but into the movement tendencies of the larynx and the other speech organs. These can then be transferred to the movement of the whole person and of groups of people, so that you can, as it were, move the whole person and move groups of people in such a way that the larynx and [the other speech organs] move when speaking. This is attempted, avoiding all arbitrariness. In a lawful way, the whole human being is attempted to become the larynx on the stage, so that a kind of silent language, consisting of movement or moving sculpture, will stand before you.
