Instructional series for Eurythmy - Gesture U
Welcome to the instructional series for Eurythmy. In this videoseries we explain how to perform Eurythmy gestures, forms and techniques. In this video, we show you step by step how to make the U.
The U - also a vowel - can be experienced as that what cools down, freezes, stiffens inwardly. Thus the inner experience of the U, that what cools down, freezes, stiffens, one freezes. So U: the cooling down, stiffening.
U is not self-preservation, on the contrary, it is feeling small, feeling cooled down, stiffened, a retreating, a keeping to oneself. Where in E the pressure of one limb against another is felt, the restraint must be felt in U.
It is best to make the U so that you hold your arms as close to each other as possible, but it may also be that only the joining together is indicated. For example, an u is also an u when one stands and presses ones legs against each other. And we have already seen, that one can make such movements backwards as well.
Any turning upward, expressed by a large arm movement, for example in pleasure, in jubilation, expresses the U.
The videos are based on the original German Eurythmy given by Rudolf Steiner. That is why sometimes vowels or consonants are pronounced differently than we are used to in English.
