Eurythmy Performance
The attempt to create a eurythmic art is based on an understanding of the human being that stems from insight into the true nature of language and from what results from this insight into the nature of language. Even a superficial observation of people speaking and singing should teach us that in speaking and singing, human beings reveal what their souls experience with the world through the body. Today, it is extremely difficult to revive the insights that arose from older human concepts. But this can be done on anthroposophical ground, because what humanity once possessed from an unspoiled, sublime primordial wisdom can now be regained through spiritual contemplation – I would like to say as a kind of higher naivety.
