Eurythmy Performance

And then, instead of spoken language or sung tones, visible language emerges, visible singing, which you will see here on stage. There is not a single arbitrary movement in it. There is just as little arbitrary movement in eurythmy as there could be in someone arbitrarily saying, for example, an o or an i instead of an a in a word. You have to say “roof” and not “you” or ‘but’ if you mean “roof.” So the sound is in its right or wrong place. In this way, each individual gesture stands for a sound, for a phrase in the visible language of eurythmy.
