Of course, this sometimes causes eurythmy to flow over into dance-like art, just as it can flow over into mimic, expressive art. But this can only happen when, for example, something particularly emotional is expressed in a poem. If someone is to be showered with hatred, for example, then the eurythmic, which is entirely within the human being, can be transferred into the dance-like. Or if one wants to pour scorn on something, if one wants to distance oneself from something, if one were to grin in speech, for example, then the eurythmic would degenerate into mere mimicry, but into incorrect mimicry. Where the eurythmic has reason to overflow into the dance-like or the mimic, the dance-like appears brutal and the mimic appears unchaste – not in themselves, that is not necessary when they unfold as arts in their own right. Just as one destroys the art of music if one wants to develop musical painting in music, so one cannot use mimicry and dance in eurythmy without becoming unchaste on the one hand and brutal on the other.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Eurythmy Performance","site_heading":null,"date":"1923-04-08","location":null,"word_count":193,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/277d/1923-04-08/p018","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2025","book_title":"The Origin and Development of Eurythmy 1923–1925","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA277d/English/SOL2025/19230408e01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.

Natürlich, dadurch kommt manchmal Eurythmie dazu, in das Tanzartige hinüberzuströmen, ebenso in das Mimische, Ausdrucksvolle hinüberzuspielen. Allein das kann nur dann eintreten, wenn zum Beispiel in irgendeinem Gedichte etwas besonders Emotionelles zum Ausdrucke kommt. Wenn irgendjemand, sagen wir mit Hass überschüttet werden soll und dergleichen, da kann man dann das Eurythmische, das ganz im Menschen beschlossen ist, überführen in das Tanzartige. Oder wenn irgendwie man etwas mit Hohn übergießen will, wenn man sich über etwas hinausversetzen will, wenn man etwa in der Sprache grinsen würde, dann würde das Eurythmische in das bloße Mimische verfallen, aber in das unrichtige Mimische. Wo das Eurythmische nach der einen oder anderen Seite Veranlassung hat, überströmen zu können in das Tanzartige oder in das Mimische, da wirkt das Tanzartige [brutal], und das Mimische wirkt [unkeusch] - nicht für sich, das braucht es nicht, wenn sie sich als Künste für sich entfalten. Nur geradeso, wie man die Kunst der Musik zerstört, wenn man Musikmalerei in der Musik entfalten wollte, so kann man auch nicht das Mimische und Tänzerische in der Eurythmie verwenden, ohne dass man auf der einen Seite unkeusch, auf der anderen Seite brutal wird.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":205,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277d/1923-04-08/p018"}],"english":["GA 277d/1923-04-08/p018"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":205,"en_words":193,"ratio":0.94,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2087,"original_word_count":2060,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2025","book_title":"The Origin and Development of Eurythmy 1923–1925","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA277d/English/SOL2025/19230408e01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
