Eurythmy Performance

And bringing all of this into a real organization results in something that is then like [eurythmy]. Actually, every eurythmist on stage here should be able to make the movements themselves when they hear the poem or the piece of music, because you cannot express any sound or any tone differently than they are expressed there. Just as when you say “wall” you cannot say ‘wound’ or “wind,” just as you can put the right sound in the right place, so too must you put the right movement in the right place for the right sound. It is only a guide that you give to people because they find these things difficult. So one can say: This, which is concentrated in the human microcosm like a revelation of the spiritual world, is also active in what has already led to expression early on: The Logos lives in human beings – which is actually embodied in what human beings let out of their throats. Thus, another form of the Logos also lives in what is revealed with the arms and hands. [This] expresses in a real, first of all appropriate and then artistic execution what one sees there.
