The artistic is such that it has infinite depths. Of course, when I say something like this, I must first ask the esteemed audience for their indulgence. We are only at the beginning with all this, which sets such broad goals, and we ourselves, as our own strict critics, know that we are only at the beginning. But eurythmy carries within it infinite possibilities for development. It unleashes the deeper sides of the weightless human being, where the human being becomes free and presents itself as a divine-spiritual being. This gives us hope that eurythmy will continue to develop further and further, ultimately becoming an art form as legitimate as the other arts that have already found recognition. Even if this may take a long time, what we can do as a first step toward a new attempt at such an art form should nevertheless be of interest again and again.
