Eurythmy Performance
Today, as I always do before these performances, I would like to ask the esteemed audience to bear in mind that we are only just beginning with our eurythmy. We ourselves are most aware of our imperfections. However, we must also say to ourselves: as true as it is on the one hand that what is intended with eurythmy will only be fully developed at a later time, because it makes use of an instrument in a much more perfect way than mere mimic art, which only makes use of the moving human being in accompaniment, while eurythmy claims to bring out everything that is in the human being I would say, so that he is, as a whole, a visibly weaving and living larynx, to bring out in his movements everything that is inherent in him in his form, that can be brought out in him himself as art.
