If one considers that the human being is a small world, a microcosm that contains a whole world within itself, then one must say: Eurythmy has a future because it is precisely through it that the most important, the most comprehensive secrets of the world can be revealed artistically. For if the human being is a microcosm, a small world, and contains all the secrets of the world within itself, then the secrets of the world will become visible to the eye. Then the whole human being can be used as an instrument of expression. And that is what eurythmy wants. And that is why we can hope that, as a young art form, it will gradually develop to such an extent that it will be able to stand alongside the older, fully established arts as a fully-fledged art form in its own right.
