Eurythmy, also known as “visible music & visible speech” forms part of the curriculum at many Waldorf schools worldwide. The 7th, 8th, and 9th graders did a demonstration of copper rod tossing and a Eurythmy presentation to poems by Blake and music by Tchaikovsky.
At our end-of-semester eurythmy performance, the 7th, 8th, and 9th Grades shared what they had been working on for many months. The middle schoolers offered wide array of pieces including a traditional Scottish folk ballad, ‘Lord Randall,” a demonstration of copper rod tossing, a rod exercise medley set to music by Dmitry Kabalevsky, and a mirror form set to music by J.S. Bach. The 9th Grade worked intensively every day for nine weeks to present a combination of two poems, “A Divine Image” by William Blake, and “Morning Prayer” by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
