Eurythmy Performance

The element of thought is always unartistic. Just because language is also used for cognitive thoughts or for ordinary thoughts that serve conventional communication, this unartistic element of thinking must be mixed into language. In eurythmy, one is able to completely eradicate this unartistic element of thinking and to reveal the pure artistic element, the element of will, in the movement of the individual or groups of people. It is also quite natural that when a person expresses themselves through the visible language of eurythmy, for example, they cannot speak or sing at the same time. Speaking or singing requires—because the whole activity of the person is directed toward one group of organs, because the other movements are more or less eliminated, because the organism is treated in this way by the inner will of the person—unconsciousness. In these movements, which you will see here in a moment, which are unfolding here on stage, it is different.
