What is
Eurythmy?
Our entire world is created through movement and this is
reflected in the human organism. We move our limbs, our organs have
subtle movements and our emotional life is in constant flux (the
word emotion contains within it "motion"). A body in movement is
both healthy and alive. Eurythmy brings to expression those
archetypal creative movements that underlie speech and music. Dr
Steiner describes how, when human speech or music sounds forth, the
air is "sculpted" into gesture. Through Eurythmy this hidden
gesture of our speech organs or of musical tone is made visible
through the entire human body. The archetypal movements of creation
are thus revealed "in miniature". Participating in this
movement helps to bring about harmony in the totality of our being
and our relations with the world.
