He speaks, let's say, softly; he intensifies, he speaks some things very loudly. That is the element of will that is brought in. And this element of will, which I would like to call the character in the artistic, this element of will, you can also bring into the eurythmic performance. Suppose you have to hold your arm in a certain way for some sound's sake – and there you have your hand. Now you will quite involuntarily and instinctively do something different artistically if you hold your hand completely limp, leaving it to its own weight, or if you stretch it out. And you will bring character into your recitation and declamation in much the same way as the reciter does, through stronger, more powerful language or less powerful language. For example, you will give a completely different character to what you are expressing with your arm if, as a eurythmic performer, you not only give yourself over to your imagination, but also bring this imagination to fruition within yourself. Let's say you tense your forehead when performing a certain letter or passage. Or you feel that you are giving strength to the muscles of your upper arm during a certain movement. Or you feel that you are consciously placing your feet on the ground during a certain movement by pressing down on the floor. This is the third element, the character that can come into eurythmy.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Eurythmy Address","site_heading":null,"date":"1922-08-04","location":null,"word_count":250,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/277c/1922-08-04/p027","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2025","book_title":"The Origin and Development of Eurythmy 1920–1922","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA277c/English/SOL2025/19220804e01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
