Eurythmy Performance
With this, ladies and gentlemen, I have taken the liberty of drawing your attention to the artistic nature of our eurythmy. I would just like to mention briefly that this eurythmy has two other sides to it. Since all the movements performed in eurythmy are drawn from healthy human nature, it is also possible to develop a therapeutic eurythmy from this artistic eurythmy, a eurythmy that has hygienic-therapeutic goals. The forms are not the same as those seen here on stage; here, the focus is on the artistic. These movements are transformed, metamorphosed. But then they can have a hygienic or even therapeutic effect when performed by weak and sick people themselves. That is why this therapeutic eurythmy has already been introduced in our therapeutic-clinical institutes in Arlesheim in Switzerland and in Stuttgart as a branch of healing, of therapy.
