In this way, one can develop a visible language that contains nothing arbitrary, that does not consist of momentary, invented gestures, but of an inner, lawful human organization — like spoken language or singing itself. This enables us to represent what can be expressed in poetry from one pole of the human being, the pole of breathing and thinking, from the pole of movement and blood circulation. This creates the orchestral interaction that you encounter in artistic eurythmy, where you see in the stage design how the human being speaks the cosmic language; on the other hand, the poem is declaimed and recited, brought to life through declamation or recitation. I would say that this happens in the same way that two instruments interact in an orchestra. However, declamation or recitation, which is already inner eurythmy, must also be contained in every true poem — in today's somewhat unartistic times, people have no real feeling for true declamation and recitation — in order to bring it to life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Eurythmy Performance","site_heading":null,"date":"1923-07-01","location":null,"word_count":235,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/277d/1923-07-01/p013","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads: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/SOL2025/19230701e01.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.
