Eurythmy Performance

Such perception reveals that gestures and facial expressions are suppressed in human speech. These gestures want to emerge, but they do not; instead, they are transformed by the brain organism into formative forces that are united with the activity of the will organism and transmitted to the air through the larynx and its neighboring organs. In the study that created eurythmy, the suppressed gestures that live in speech and singing are brought to light and transferred to the whole person and to groups of people. This enables movement to be used for speaking and singing. The result is spatial movements in humans, to which ordinary facial gestures and even dance relate as babbling relates to speech.
