What on Earth is Eurythmy? January 20 2015

This question comes up a lot from parents in Waldorf schools!

This dance form is an essential part of the curriculum in Waldorf schools. It has its echo in another topic unique to Waldorf schools, Form Drawing. This kind of drawing builds a spatial awareness in children, and leads them to know the drawing of line as movement come to stillness. In Eurythmy many of these forms would appear on the floor if the feet were made of chalk!

 

Eurythmy was started by Rudolf Steiner as a performance art to make music and speech visible in artistic form.
