So we have the opportunity to truly express the whole soul in eurythmy. Now, my dear friends, it is remarkable that when one really carries out this idea that I have just expressed, one comes to the conclusion that simply by expressing eurythmy in a certain way, one can create the beginnings of what is sought today as a special art form, the expressionism of art. For eurythmy is, in a certain sense, truly expressionistic. It simply does not use the often silly means employed by so-called expressionism; it uses the artistic means with which one can truly create forms of expression, expressions artistically in the movement of the human body, in the feelings poured into the limbs and in the character poured into the limbs, as I have just described.
