One is inclined to regard this as dance from the outset. However, eurythmy is not dance; it is singing in movement, real singing, except that the singing does not come about through sound, but through movement. So that only those who are able to understand eurythmy as singing in motion, rather than as dance, can truly understand our eurythmy. And in a similar way, that which is expressed through language, through sound, accompanies the eurythmic movement. This leads to the following: when human beings express themselves through language, through the language of sound – and this can be seen particularly clearly in the languages of higher civilizations – what emerges through language is that the spiritual element, which is objectively separate from human beings, lives more and more in language. In more advanced languages, we perceive it as something unpleasant, and rightly so, when the subjective element plays into language in the form of emphasis, prose punctuation, and the like. We perceive it as almost unseemly when too much subjectivity is expressed in language. Language should spiritualize the soul, thereby detaching it more or less from the human being. In return, however, we can bring back into human movement that which is expressed in stylized language, for example.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Eurythmy Performance","site_heading":null,"date":"1923-06-09","location":null,"word_count":259,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/277d/1923-06-09/p008","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:structural_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/SOL2025/19230609e01.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.

Das ist man geneigt, von vornherein dann als Tanz anzusehen. Allein, Eurythmie ist kein Tanz, es ist ein Singen in der Bewegung, ein wirkliches Singen, nur dass das Singen nicht durch den Ton zustande kommt, sondern durch die Bewegung. Sodass erst derjenige unsere Eurythmie richtig versteht, der das Eurythmisieren zu dem Musikalischen nicht als Tanz, sondern als einen bewegten Gesang aufzufassen vermag. Und in ähnlicher Weise begleitet auch dasjenige, was sich durch die Sprache, durch den Laut äußert, die eurythmische Bewegung. Dadurch erlangt man das Folgende: Indem der Mensch sich durch die Sprache, durch die Tonsprache äußert - und man kann das ganz besonders in der Sprache der höheren Zivilisationen erkennen -, dadurch kommt das durch die Sprache zum Vorschein, dass, man möchte sagen das objektiv vom Menschen abgesonderte Geistige immer mehr und mehr in der Sprache lebt. Man empfindet es ja auch bei vorgerückteren Sprachen als etwas Unsympathisches, mit Recht eigentlich Unsympathisches, wenn das subjektive Element in Betonung, in Prosapointieren und dergleichen in die Sprache hineinspielt. Man empfindet es fast als etwas Unkeusches, wenn zu viel Subjektives in der Sprache sich ausdrückt. Die Sprache soll das Seelische vergeistigen, daher es mehr oder weniger vom Menschen loslösen. Dafür aber können wir zurücknehmen in menschliche Bewegung dasjenige, was in der stilisierten Sprache zum Beispiel zum Ausdrucke kommt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":271,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277d/1923-06-09/p008"}],"english":["GA 277d/1923-06-09/p008"],"method":"structural_identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"unverified","length_check":{"de_words":271,"en_words":259,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 277d/1923-06-09/p008"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":1909,"original_word_count":1854,"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/SOL2025/19230609e01.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.
