Description

The true historical moments of birth of the quite a lot of arts don’t seem to be known. At most, significant changes of direction are distinguishable – and these are frequently detected retrospectively. Alternatively, the founding of eurythmy, a new art of movement, has been extensively documented. The story of the first eurythmist, Lory Maier-Smits, told within the pages of this profusely-illustrated book, is a valuable contribution to that legacy. It brings to life the pioneering period when the new artform was once being developed under Rudolf Steiner’s personal instruction. Magdalene Siegloch traces Lory Maier-Smits’ biography with artistic care and loving detail. She describes the eurythmist’s early exposure to anthroposophy; her training under Rudolf Steiner from 1912; the first performance of eurythmy throughout the Theosophical Society festival in 1913; Rudolf Steiner’s lectures at the new art of movement; the staging of eurythmy under the direction of Marie Steiner; and Maier-Smits’ later work as a trainer of eurythmists. Also included is an account of Maier-Smits’ personal path of development, her marriage and circle of relatives life.
