Eurythmy: 2:15-3:30pm

Please join us as we experience both tone and speech eurythmy! For optimal health they are a balance, one more incarnating, one more excarnating.

We will learn some basic elements of the art form, such as the movements for the consonants and vowels, and for the notes and intervals. There are movements for various kinds of grammar including active verbs and passive verbs, and there are also different kinds of movement for major and minor chords, as well as beat, rhythm and pitch.

Dana Williams holds a BA in History from Cal State University Northridge and has been teaching at Highland Hall since the mid 1970s.  In addition to Watercolor Painting and Eurythmy, Mr. Williams also teaches Projective Geometry, Art History and History through Architecture at Highland Hall.
