Attend a week of intensive eurythmy for professional eurythmists at Eurythmy Spring Valley with Dorothea Mier, Natasha Moss, Barbara Schneider-Serio!
A week of intensive eurythmy for professional eurythmists at ESV includes:
- Tone eurythmy with Dorothea Mier
The focus of our work will be the Adagio Cantabile from Beethoven’s Sonata in C minor (Pathetique), Op. 13, with a form by Rudolf Steiner. Belonging to the piece, we will be exploring the form and basic elements of tone eurythmy.
- Speech eurythmy with Natasha Moss
How to bring the word into space?
Just as a musician plays music on his/her instrument, so might we play a poem on or through the instrument of eurythmy, which is essentially oneself.
We will work with the eurythmy figures as living expressions of imagination, inspiration, and intuition, and with the lexicon of elements given by Rudolf Steiner towards becoming an instrument through which we might play the “word” as poetry.
- Tone eurythmy with Barbara Schneider-Serio
We will be working on a 20th century piece by Samuel Barber, looking at how to create a group form and work on related exercises. If time allows, we will pair it with a more romantic piece by Rachmaninoff or another composer.
- Master classes on solos with Dorothea Mier
- All culminating in a public sharing on Thursday, July 31, 2025, at 7:30 pm
Come and enjoy exploring, sharing, and talking about eurythmy work with each other, group and solo activities.
