Eurythmy evening at Focus Forum
01/05/10 07:46 Filed in: Information
On 5th - 9th
April 2010 at Goetheanum, Dornach Switzerland, there
was a "Focus - International Initiative Forum"
organized by the Youth Section.
There is a community of individuals who have agreed to re-imagine the world. Some have taken up their tools as craftsmen, sculpting and forming the substance of the earth. Some are grappling with the thought forms that hold us to the present image of the world, and are attempting to free these thoughts from their entrapment. Some are searching on hidden pathways for the heartland’s language. They are all artists and all have different tasks. They recognise each other as essential for the activity of re-constituting existence. All argument has ceased, and the roles played are recognised. This is a new sister-brother-hood. It seeks to bring the imagination of the future beyond the narrowness of the present picture by breathing heart heat into the ice of today to create the water of tomorrow…
This year, therefore, the initiative meeting will seek to expand in accordance with the expansion of the network as a whole. It will open its doors to all – youth, as well as ‘older’ people – who feel a connection to this no-name network. This meeting will attempt to consolidate, strengthen and celebrate the existing active network. It will also make space for others who feel connected to this work. We welcome, therefore, everyone who has been to previous initiative meetings, as well as those who’ll be attending for the first time – all present and future initiative takers. Focus: International Initiative Forum hopes to strengthen the space between all those who are, or who are seeking to be, active in the world out of this force – who strive with responsibility, and with trust. It aims to build up the substance between all human beings who feel a connection to this ‘invisible’ network.

Young group of Eurythmists organized "Eurythmy Evening" in that context and invited their friends around the world who wanted to take part. We shared eurythmical works at the Big Hall. At the end of the evening we sat in the circle together with the audience and had very inspiring formation of discussion amongst the audience and the performer.
Inspired by the method of Focus meeting, we also formed the discussion out of the individual co-being, out of the future, and attempted to see what emerged through it.
I would like to share a little bit about the method and what was discussed amongst young eurythmists and some stage members of Goetheanum.
We were all asked three questions and we wrote the answer on the paper.
1. What excites you/enthuses you about the future of your profession?
2. What do you wish would happen for the future of Eurythmy?
3. What can you do now in order to bring about this future?
We made pairs and shared answers.
One that listened quietly draw an image what emerged through listening of that person's talk.
We shared the image to each other.
Then we formulated out of what was spoken, the essence of our own statement.
We wrote it on the small paper, we threw them in a hat!
Read them out in the big circle.
SÄTZE AUS DER HUT VON UNSEREM AUSTAUSCH-ABEND
(Sentences out of the hat from our exchange evening)
Ohren auf für Möglichkeiten Bühnen-Arbeit zu gründen zeitgenössisch!
(Ears open for possibilities to found Eurythmy Stage-work in a modern sense!)
Wie der Mensch Erde und Himmel im Begegnung zu bringen. In uns das Weltenall.
(How to bring the human being, the earth and heaven into real meeting with each other. In Us is the Being of all Worlds)
Begeisterung Bewegung Begegnung (zwischen Eurythmisten
zwischen Eurythmie und Welt)
Enthusiasm Movement Meeting (between Eurythmists
between Eurythmy and the World)
Der Mond spiegelt sich ins Wasser, der Wolken offenbart sich Lebendige Welt. Da scheint klares Mondes licht die reflliert?
(The mood is mirrored in the water, in the clouds is revealed the living world. There shines clear moonlight reflected)
Mission of the world in Eurythmy
Leben und Arbeit sind eines!
Treue Zusammenarbeit und Mitstreiter finden
Austausch mit anderen Menschen über Impulse, Wünsche, Ideen
(Life and work are one!
To find faithful collaboration and co-fighters
Exchange with other people about impulses, wishes, ideas)
Wir alle kämpfen für Eurythmie. Lass uns zusammen sein und Freiheit und Perfektion verbinden und gestalten!
(We all fight for Eurythmy. Let´s stick together and connect & shape freedom and perfection)
Mit mmmmmmmmm durch meinen weitere Arbeit in die Welt und den eurythmische Arbeit
lauschen durch mich und die Welt
(With mmmmmmmm through my further work in the world and let the eurythmical work be heard through me and the world)
I am i g rein 8 Aufquenhlanen sein
Lebendige Fluss 8 lidl wollen Empfangen
(I am i g pure 8 ……………….
Lively river 8 ………….want to receive)
Menschen werden den eigenen Weg zur Geistigen finden
(Human beings will find their own way to the spiritual)
Ich wil das Eurythmie so anerkannt und wesentlich beobachtet und erfahren wird wie das alltägliches Brot das wir Essen oder wie der Hauptstamm des Baumes zu die Ästen ist.
(I want eurythmy to become so recognised, to be experienced and considered as essential to life just like our daily bread is; or just like the trunk of the tree is considered essential in relation to its branches)
Zerkchlssopf ist das Tor der Götter in die Zivilisation
(?????????? Is the gateway of the gods in civilisation)
We must find our individual artistic language and speak through the objective laws of Eurythmy
(Wir müssen unsere eigene künstlerische Sprache finden und durch die objektive Gesetze der Eurythmie sprechen)
Umfassende Wirksamkeit des Geistigen
(All-encompassing activity/influence of the spiritual)
Eurythmie als neue Verbindung zum geistigen – jeder Mensch seine eigene Verbindung zum Göttlichen, zur Selbsheilung, zum Glücksein – wie alltägliches Brot
(Eurythmy as a new connection to the divine – every human being finds his own connection to the divine, to self-healing, to being happy – like our daily bread)
Mut, vertrauen, tat
(Courage, trust, deed)
Special thanks to the eurythmists from stage training in Goetheanum, and all the performers who shared their works. Edwin, Christine, Live to the inspiring evening, organizing, translating the sentences from the hat, shared those with eurythmystudent.net .

Out of this Focus meeting week many significant initiatives were born. One is the Eurythmy Initiatives, "Concordance". The young eurythmists group who will continue this strive and see the role of our time. Other is New Art Collectives, which consists many young spiritual striving artists and try to see what kind of field we can support each other, inspire, corroborate.
I will let you know when I hear new movements out of those initiatives.
