Eurythmy Performance

When a person is a child, it is natural for the world to extract spoken language and the ability to sing from their organism. Eurythmy is intended to be a moving, visible language and a visible song. It is this in the sense that careful study in sensory-supersensory observation has first determined which movements the human being would like to perform from his whole being, but which he restrains when he expresses himself through spoken language or song. It is the case that what can initially be expressed in the human being, as long as they do not speak, in the child, as an inner emotion of will, as emotional content, is expressed in an inarticulate, chaotic way. Then the human organization intervenes in what would otherwise, when the human being moves in its verbal or vocal communication, become a gesture – this is transformed into thoughts.
