Eurythmy, an Art of Movement, was initiated by Rudolf Steiner in the beginning of the twentieth century (1912), in a time when social-political and cultural traditions were changing radically.

Through the human body as an instrument, Eurythmy expresses in movements the creative forces of Speech, Drama and Music. These are the realms in which the human soul and the spirit live, and through which the human being expresses different moods and contents.

As in all Arts, Eurythmy searches for the qualities and directions of each of its elements. It combines a musician‘s awareness of the uniqueness of every major and minor scale, a painter‘s sense of the special character of each of his colours, as well as an actor‘s sensitivity for the quality of gestures and language. Each sound, each tone, and each colour express a quality and creativity of their own, which are made visible and re-created into works of Art through the gestures and movements of Eurythmy.

The word Eurythmy comprises the Greek words eu-‘ (good, true, beautiful) and rhythmos‘ (formed and structured flow). Rhythm is one of the most prominent elements of life and development, and can be observed widely in nature (seasons, day/night, plant forms, stars and planets, etc.) and in the human being (breathing, blood, stages of development, etc.). Unfortunately, natural rhythms are often disturbed due to various hectic and un-rhythmical aspects of our modern time. Through its various forms, as an Art, in Education and as a tool for Therapy, Eurythmy can be a valuable source of stabilisation for the human being, as it brings back harmony.
