Eurythmy

Patrice Pinette
Track elective open to all students

How can we enact a poem? How can we speak with our whole body? Can our imagination become visible to others? Words are powerful, as we know. Not only do words move us to action, to sorrow or delight - they themselves are in motion, have shape and dynamics. In eurythmy, an art of movement that brings language into the realm of dance, we learn gestures for the sounds of speech, and choreograph poetry, story, and drama. Our sources of inspiration include writings from contemporary authors and traditional cultures as well as original student work.
