Eurythmy Performance
As I said, eurythmy is still in its infancy today. But it makes use of the most perfect instrument one can have, the human organism itself and all its possibilities of expression. And so one must say that the human being contains within itself all the secrets, all the laws of the cosmos. Compared to the macrocosm, it is a small world, a microcosm. And because eurythmy attempts to draw on everything that is within the human being in order to express spatially what is otherwise expressed linguistically or musically, we can hope that eurythmy will become more and more perfect. The art of mime makes use only, I would say, of the rudiments of what eurythmy draws on. And dance also makes use only of the rudiments.
