Eurythmy Performance

So when you look at eurythmy, you see, for example, in the form of the hand or the arm, nothing other than what lives invisibly in the breath stream when we speak. It is therefore really a part of language, namely the volitional part of language, taken out of language. What else lives in the air when we speak, insofar as it is volitional, is taken out and transferred to the visible human being, to visible human movements. So when you have a poem that is recited or declaimed, the same thing is driven through the larynx and other speech organs, as it were, as you see in the movements of the people on stage.
