Movement is life's signature, its
own language. Every moment we breathe is filled with
pulse...rhythm. It permeates the substance we are
made of. Physical form is built out of movement come
to rest. So too our feelings, thoughts and
inspirations have gestures that are matched in the
forms we find in the world. It is one of the great
mysteries that inner experience and outer form come
from the same source.
Recognition of this connection sits
just beyond our conscious awareness. Yet, we depend
on it to make our way through life. We learn to read
the world and other people through the language of
movement... alongside the language of sound. Form -
movement - language, all "sound" the
essential nature of the world in different ways.
Eurythmy is a movement art that brings all three
together. It gives expression to the whole voice of
the human being and the world language, through
movement, color and form. When this integration takes
place through eurythmy, the spiritual nature behind
each living thing begins to have a clear voice - a
visible reality. The living mysteries that form our
body, our soul, the stars and the seas speak their
names in the gestures of language and life. Eurythmy
brings these gestures into a rich, expressive art
form.
