*The art of Eurythmy, an expressive movement art, was originated by Rudolf Steiner in the early 20th century. The word eurythmy stems from Greek roots meaning beautiful or harmonious rhythm. A eurythmist moves the music itself, the inner dynamic, the emotional expressiveness. In an ensemble, the interplay of the instruments, the piece itself, is present before your eyes.
