If we wish to admonish a child we naturally put our reproof into words, but at the same time we assume an expression suitable to the occasion! To do this electively, however, a certain amount of discretion is required, or we run the risk of appearing ridiculous. It is the same with regard to Eurythmy. Movements of a type approaching dancing or mime, when they are added to the essentially Eurythmic movements, are in danger of appearing grotesque; and, if made use of in an exaggerated manner, given an appearance of crudity, even of vulgarity. On the other hand purely Eurythmic movements are the truest means of giving outward and visible expression to all that is contained in the human soul.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"A Lecture on Eurythmy","site_heading":null,"date":"1923-08-26","location":null,"word_count":186,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/277d/1923-08-26/p073","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:embedding","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"A.

Die Leute kommen natürlich zur Eurythmie, sehen einen bewegten Menschen - ich habe sogar schon einen Journalisten nicht persönlich kennen lernen, sondern von ihm lesen können, der gesagt hat: Ja, wenn man die Eurythmie auf der Bühne anschaut, es bewegen sich die Menschen, es muss doch Tanz sein, also muss man es auch als Tanz beurteilen können! - Ja, nicht wahr, es ist eben gerade an demjenigen, was hier auftritt als Toneurythmie als Begleitung der Instrumentalmusik, zu sehen, wie man das Tanzen von dem unterscheiden kann, was dieser sichtbare Gesang, die Eurythmie ist.
