The vowel gestures

Vowels are forces of calm, heart forces. Where there is restlessness and chaos, they order, form, point to the essential. Actually, they have no external movement. Their principle is radiation, the presence, the role model. They act as invisible magnetic fields that structure the space and even give support when the exterior is removed.

Already 450 years before the birth of eurythmy, the  basic eurythmic gestures of all five vowels of the alphabet have already been displayed in this painting on the south wall of the dining hall of the Dominican convent Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. Opposite, on the north wall, is Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper, in which the twelve apostles thematize the twelvefold nature of the zodiac.

In the following course, the vowels will be explained in detail, and a variety of videos will make the magic of the vowel gestures tangible. Learning the gestures is simple, and their effect is astonishing.
