Address on Eurythmy
And so eurythmy stands alongside the other arts as a special art in the following way. When we see how, for example, the human being is captured in sculpture, we must have the feeling that in its form, in its plastic, sculptural form, the soul life actually expresses itself as a silent feeling. Silence is best expressed through sculpture. If we want to create a kind of contrast that also complements it, then we can, of course, take the human being itself, the living human being, and we must set it in motion. So that when silence is expressed through sculpture, speech can best be represented by the moving human being in space.
