Eurythmy Performance

Now it is particularly appealing when, in a sense, the process that underlies language — the [bringing in] of the weightless, supernatural human being into the realm of gravity — when this process occurs from the other side, when the weight that is in our motor organism and which, one might say, in a very weak form, only detaches itself elementarily from the earthly with every step, with every gesture of the hand and arm, when one now tries to free it completely from the earthly, when one performs the song in rhythmic, measured movements, when one specifically transforms the most expressive human movements of the arms and hands from gestures burdened by heaviness to free gestures. In this way, one sees something very special in human beings. By looking at the organism that stands on the earth in this way, to which the forces of gravity are in a certain sense incorporated, one sees how it continually overcomes gravity through the power of its soul.
