Thanks to one of my dearest friend, this Sunday I got an opportunity to see the first ever Eurythmy show in India performed at Delhi.
Eurythmy is an expressive movement art originated by Rudolf Steiner in conjunction with Marie von Sivers in the early 20th century. The artists, together with music or speech perform body gestures and movements in space. The art in folds deep understanding and appreciation for shape, form and patterns. Colours are also widely abundant in the costumes used and the lightings. The steps and expressions are so natural, no wonder its been called as “art of the soul”.
When I had the privilege to watch the performance, I realised that it had a ‘miksang’ touch. Although the medium may be different (dance in this case), the purpose is similar. Both approaches intend to make us more aware of ourselves. Using photography or dance as a medium of expression, we intend to reflect to our true being and connect to our souls.
Few miksang moments from the performance –
