Eurythmy Performance

The third thing is that eurythmy also represents a kind of therapy. We certainly do not want to devise remedies in an amateurish or dilettantish manner. But when the artistic or pedagogical-didactic eurythmic movements are transformed in such a way that they have a certain effect on human nature, improving certain conditions in nature, then one obtains – not with the same movements that you see here in artistic eurythmy, but with slightly transformed, metamorphosed movements – something that can have a healing, therapeutic effect on people with certain diseases and debilitating conditions. At Dr. Wegman's Clinical-Therapeutic Institute in Arlesheim, as well as at our Clinical-Therapeutic Institute in Stuttgart, curative eurythmy is practiced as part of therapy and, as is already clearly demonstrable, bears fruit just as pedagogical-didactic eurythmy bears fruit in Waldorf schools.
