Address on Eurythmy

The person performing eurythmy is such that their specific face is not important. It does not matter. Of course, a healthy eurythmist does not automatically make a grumpy face when performing a joyful movement, but that is also the case when speaking. But a physiognomy of the face that is not eurythmic is not what is sought. For example: someone can make a “movement” by holding the axis of their eyes outward. That is eurythmic, that works. But it is not acceptable for anyone, as is the case in the art of mime, to make special little movements with their eyes – as we say in German – which look like grimaces, which are often required as a special facial expression. Everything about the eurythmist must be eurythmic.
