But when the vowels are shaped in eurythmy movements, it is a revelation of what the soul experiences in its innermost depths. When the consonants are revealed in eurythmic movement in this visible language, it is the empathy with all things that the human being expresses through the movements of his own physicality. While ordinary language increasingly urges the spiritualization of the soul, eurythmy brings what the human being experiences inwardly to expression in direct animation. And so, in fact, every movement that can be seen here on stage becomes a visible expression of the most intimate soul.
