Eurythmy Performance
Then the soul expresses itself more in the moving human being, whose movements, especially those of the most expressive organs, the hands and arms, become a visible language. When we speak consonants through the language of sound, the processes in things live in the consonants in a more objective way. The vowels contain the sensations and feelings we have about the processes of the outside world, but separated from the human being, spiritualized. One might say: in what is expressed here as visible language in eurythmy, the human being lives completely with that which is revealed, for example, in poetry; that which lives in the human spirit is animated by eurythmy. Eurythmy, like language, is also capable of shaping the vowels in movement, as well as the consonants.
