An introduction to Eurythmy training

Eurythmy Training

When starting Eurythmy training, you will gradually learn a different way of moving. How to create flow, contour, beginnings and endings, move together with others, create counter movements and how to sculpt the space.

You will learn to penetrate each movement with consciousness and intention. The directions of space, straight lines and curves – will become experiences, rather than concepts. The capacity to create and hold pictures in the imagination and inform what you do and how you do it will be honed and refined over time.

Course overview

The four-year Vocational Training in Eurythmy is taught primarily as a performing art and lays the foundations for a career in Eurythmy.

The core timetable consists of group lessons in ‘Speech Eurythmy’ and ‘Tone/music Eurythmy’ taught by our experienced tutors and accompanied by timetabled group practice sessions.

Students are expected to take detailed notes of their learning journey and to consolidate and deepen their experiences by practicing on their own on a daily basis in order to develop the necessary abilities. At the end of each term students present their movement work to an audience in a performance setting.

In addition, assignments, class-room observations and teaching practice from integrated pedagogical components provide students with the basic, practical knowledge and skills required for teaching Eurythmy to both children and adults as well as artistic work, and a written dissertation and demonstration project based on personal interests and ambitions in Eurythmy will form part of the later stages of training and development.

The timetable runs from Monday to Friday during term time and core subjects are supported by:

• Creative speech & drama
• Music appreciation & choir
• Poetics & literature & essay writing
• Anthroposophical studies
• Eurythmy education and human development
• Painting & clay modelling
• Form drawing & geometry
• History of dance & Eurythmy
• Costume making, lighting, make up and stage safety

The four years culminate in a graduation programme, a tour and a final graduation performance.
