Description
Eurythmy and the Impulse of Dance is an introduction to this contemporary art form in the context of movement and dance today. It explores what eurythmy is, its relationship with other arts of movement, and its purpose. This booklet presents a clear overview of eurythmy, which is an expressive art of movement that relates specific gestures to sounds, rhythms, music, and soul experiences such as joy and sorrow. The book includes 35 sketches of eurythmy figures by Rudolf Steiner, illustrating gestures of movement, feeling, and character. The authors answer questions about the origins and significance of eurythmy, created in the early twentieth century by Rudolf Steiner.
