What is Eurythmy?
The word eurythmy comes from the Greek and means beautiful or harmonious movement. It is an expressive art form, also called visible song and visible speech. It is truly the new art form for today. An art form for transformation and healing in every sense of the word. Eurythmy is still in its infancy, for the expression of the invisible aspects of audible and visible arts really has as its horizon the human being's ability to perceive it, and to transform the physical body into an instrument able to move in tune with life force and soul. Its aim is to be the poem, the song, the mood, so that it becomes present in our midst.
