75. Eurythmy Performance

Those of you who are present and who have been here before will see that we have made efforts to make some progress recently, particularly in the construction of forms. However, these are things that are still very much in the making. We are our own harshest critics and we know very well how much is still missing in each case. On the whole, it will still be a matter of implementing the dramatic element into the eurythmic. I have been working on this for a long time, but so far no way has been found, while in the lyrical, and in the humorous, it has recently been very successful as a well-executed presentation. To express this in a new way, not only what was in the words, but the real form, that is, what the poet has made of the content, to express that also in the rhythm of the movements, that is our ideal: not to express the direct feeling, as it is also the case with music, not to express that which is a chance connection between gesture and inner soul experience, but something so lawful as it is present in the spoken language itself.
