Eurhythmy Presentation

For our second to last day of school, the entire student body put on a Eurhythmy presentation at a local theater in town. Eurhythmy is defined as "a system of harmonious body movement to the rhythm of spoken word," and is a basic pillar of Waldorf education. If you were to take beat poetry and make it into a musical, you'd get something close to what we saw. It's hard to describe, but the show was cool. All 100 or so seats in the theater were filled with parents and some curious onlookers, including John and Emily's family.

Andreas, the amazing musician who played at Roger's blues party, was also there, and I talked with him for a while afterward. He said he was moved by the children's singing, which was pretty cool to hear from a musical wonder like himself.

The kids were excited, and they all did great.

Here's the entire thing (about 30 minutes or so):
