`This gave my mother the opportunity of mentioning to Dr Steiner an
idea... Could one affect the physical body in a healing,
strengthening and regulating way through certain rhythmical
movements of the etheric body - which after all was the centre of
all that was rhythmical - as well as of health and illness? Dr
Steiner not only enthusiastically affirmed this possibility, but
spontaneously declared himself ready to give the necessary
directions which I could then work out with my mother's help.' -
Lory Maier-Smits Alongside original material by Rudolf and Marie
Steiner, this volume features unique first-hand accounts of the
birth of the art of eurythmy by a number of its early students and
practitioners. The practical and artistic stages of its development
are chronicled in detail, alongside reports from the first public
performance onwards. Rudolf Steiner offers inspiration to the
original eurythmists to make their own discoveries - to perceive
and fashion in movement their creative `inner voice'. The artistic
principles are established for later development and elaboration,
to reveal and foster human creativity in many poetic and musical
contexts. Through the text, links between eurythmy and
temple-dances, that accompanied ancient initiations, gradually
emerge. The impulse to dance is rediscovered as inherent in the
`lost Word', or the primordial root language still available in
`genetic etymology'- the sounds of speech used in all languages.
Music eurythmy, we learn, did not start from dancing, but from the
archetypal structure of the musical system. Consequently, we can
witness directly how an eloquent performing art can properly
develop when technique and inspiration meet. The text is supported
by extensive supplementary material, including eurythmy forms, a
chronological survey, notes and indexes.
