35. Eurythmy Performance

What appears here as visible speech is intended to enable the inner movement tendencies of the human larynx and speech organs to be studied as they are employed in speech or song. Then what is observed there as the inner lawfulness of speech is transferred to the whole human being or to groups of people, so that, as it were, the human being or groups of people appear on the stage like a visible larynx, like a speech organ. Eurythmy is not mere gesturing or mimicry, nor is it ordinary dance, but eurythmy seeks to represent something quite different at its root.
