Eurythmy, New Art of Movement - dance

Rudolf Steiner, in the early 20th century,
inaugurated the ART of EURYTHMY, defined as the making visible in movement the essence ofspeech and tone, or music.

It is not to be construed with traditional choreographed dance, nor is it at all personallysubjective.

Eurythmy is the expression of an objective reality that shapes, maintains and regenerates the human physical body.

The unique potential of human evolution is mediated not only by mechanical, chemical or physical laws, but by higher, subtler forces and processes that are as much cosmic as terrestrial.

Eurythmy is thus directed to the spiritual reality underlying human nature.

Eurythmy has a great potential to exert very decisive therapeutic effects, especially on the growing child, but also with all ages, and has proved of great help in aging gracefully.

Eurythmy works through the vital body, which are formative world-processes corresponding with specific states of consciousness.

Eurythmic movements represent the all-embracing macrocosmos, or the zodiacal consonants, which are in turn continuously modified by planetary movements or vowels, thus connecting to human being as a microcosm to the universe.

Because its meaning and substance is so cosmic and universal, Eurythmy can be expressed in many limitless, creative ways.

A lifetime Eurythmy is like drinking from the water of eternal life. (BLB)
