WHAT WE OFFER
WORKSHOPS involve
discovering the source of movement, the creative
breath or spirit, through centring; relating;
developing expressive gesture.
We explore the
polarities and transitions within the categories of
music: melody, rhythm, and beat.
The social art of
eurythmy can lead to
- harmonizing therapy
('tuning my body as an instrument')
- deeper awareness of
my neighbour ('presence of mind')
- expressing the
spirit ('visible singing').
- Equipment &endash;
loose clothing, thin-soled gym shoes, and a
sense of humour.

WHAT IS EURYTHMY?
- The human being was created by the Word
(cosmic music).
- Creativity continues in human speaking and
singing.
- In learning to master our own bodily
instrument, we can develop the soul's creative
enjoyment and its expressive possibilities.
Instrumental music is returned to its intrinsic
and historical origin in the voice. Others speak
and make music; the eurythmist accompanies these
sister arts, extending their possibilities.
The creative power in the sounding larynx. is
expressed through movement of the whole body,
especially the arms. Technique and expression, form
and content, are united in this new art of
'beautiful, harmonious movement'.
... and the Word shall become Spirit again.

DEMONSTRATIONS & PERFORMANCES
in ‘visible singing’
- We offer to show how the musician and the eurythmist attempt a living interpretation through releasing the movement in the musical elements themselves.
- Our repertoire
includes instrumental compositions by Bach,
Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, and
Messiaen.
