Eurythmy Performance

The same thing that is brought to rest here by the brain organism can in turn be taken back to its animated gesture, become facial expression, if one — instead of the brain organism, which can only be studied in a very difficult way — if one instead brings the impulse of the will, the human impulse of movement, into the same lawful activity as nature itself does in speaking or singing, which sets the brain mechanism [and] in its continuation, the speech organs, just as the brain can otherwise allow its revelations, which have become a resting image, to flow into the stream of speech: for every sound, for every word, for every sentence structure, a movement of the whole human being. And because one allows the same thing to happen in the motor system as otherwise happens in the brain system, through a movement of the whole human being, that which now reveals the inner life of the human soul, not from thought but preferably from the will, can be placed before the eye, just as language or singing brings to life before the ear that which the soul experiences.
