Eurythmy is an artistic form of movement, particular to Steiner Schools, that strengthens and harmonises the life forces in the young person. It is also a social art and the students learn to work together on complicated forms, to find a common expression of a verse or piece of music. Great concentration is required as are alertness, attention to posture, listening, respectfulness of others, quickness, the capacity to come to inner quiet, and a as a whole class to collectively arrive at an open and listening state of being.
In High School, reverence for life, a respect for each unique individual within the context of working socially as a group underlie the work.
