Since we began giving eurythmy performances, I have always characterized eurythmy in a few words before the performances. And today I would like to take the liberty of saying a few words about eurythmy from another perspective before the performance. It must be made absolutely clear that eurythmy is an attempt to create a visible language, a visible language through which what the human soul feels can be revealed in a more vivid, that is, more artistic and also in a certain plastic way – just as, on the other hand, this revelation can take place through sound and tone. To do this, it is necessary to have a truly spiritual scientific understanding of the process of language development and language formation as it is rooted in the human being.
