Eurythmy Performance

But then, when we express what lies deeper in language, what we can no longer express merely through the movement of blood in connection with the breath when we speak, but when we want to express a connection between what, in a sense, hovers above the head, above thought, above abstract language, when we want to express what corresponds to the imagination of language, then we need not only the blood movement that is carried out when we stand still and speak, but we also need that which causes the blood movement to pass into the visibly moving human being. And then we get visible gestures for what is otherwise just air gestures when we speak—because we unconsciously imprint the imagination into the air gestures—then we get visible gestures. And these visible gestures are eurythmy.
