Eurythmy
Created | Updated Feb 8, 2002
Eurythmy is supposed to be a sort of spiritual ballet. It was invented by Rudolf Steiner and is taught in all of his 600 Waldorf schools. all the letters of the alphabet have a specific movement associated with them allowing Eurythmyists to dance around to poetry or prose. Eurythmyists can look quite ridiculous when "performing" as they wear colourful "veils" and make very exagerated arm movements while a piece of text is read out with exaggerated slowness (known as eurythmy speach). Sadly they take themselves VERY seriously as you can see at this Eurythmy site.
