Guidelines for Eurythmy in Waldorf Schools Strength Through Collaboration Eurythmy the ultimate element of an artistic education Here follows a re-affirmation of the guidelines adopted by AWSNA Delegates in 1998. These were adopted and are offered here for re-affirmation because of the need for recognition of the forces required to teach Eurythmy and to carry a Eurythmy program in a Waldorf school. There is a need to revise these and re-affirm these to protect Eurythmy and Eurythmists in our schools. Though Eurythmists can teach a regular full teaching roster, it is impractical to ask them to have all of these periods be Eurythmy teaching. Awareness of this in our schools will ensure longer tenures for our teaching Eurythmists. Of all subjects, Eurythmy represents best the uniqueness of Waldorf Education and the importance of an artistic education. It is not present in any other curriculum. This and its related subject of Form Drawing are unique to the Waldorf curriculum. At a time when contemporary education leans heavily on intellectual and academic skills alone, the arts in education stand as testament to the importance of will-developed intelligence, and the building of capacities in the whole human organism for awakening intelligence and skills for life. At this time of high pressure performance as the imagination for education in much of current culture, it is important for us as Waldorf educators to deepen our understanding and confirm our commitment to the essential position of Eurythmy and the arts for the cultivation of intelligent heads and wise hearts, multiple-intelligences, and skills in every part of young human beings. It is time to re-affirm our commitment to Eurythmy as a signature subject for the support and protection of our riches in Eurythmy and Eurythmists. This proposal is offered to cultivate proper awareness around our Eurythmy programs and to build and enhance a supportive environment for Eurythmy in our Waldorf schools. GUIDELINES FOR EURYTHMY IN WALDORF SCHOOLS FROM THE EURYTHMY ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA ADOPTED AS BEST PRACTICES BY AWSNA AND THE PEDAGOGICAL SECTION OF THE SCHOOL OF SPIRITUAL SCIENCE Eurythmy Association of North America Introduction Eurythmy is an essential integrating factor for all subjects and classes taught in the Waldorf school curriculum, deepening the process of learning through engaging the whole body in meaning-filled movement. Ideally, having a full eurythmy program would be required for certification of any Waldorf school, as is the case in Europe. In Waldorf schools, the conscious work of all the teachers, and especially that of the eurythmy teacher, has the potential to help remedy many of the ills and challenges facing today’s children. The needs and the hopes of any individual school and of its eurythmist(s) can, of course, only be balanced and prioritized through mutual meeting and conversation. These guidelines are intended to help in structuring a eurythmy program which has the potential for furthering the transformation of children’s lives. In contrast to most of the other subjects in the curriculum, which have an established history and identity, eurythmy is a new art and may need special nurturing. Just as a new baby, or a tender seedling, is given extra protection and support; so too this fledgling art needs dedicated care-givers, especially in a culture where there is little understanding for all that it intends. The British Waldorf educator Cecil Harwood succinctly described the significance of eurythmy in the Waldorf school with the following words: “The whole of a Waldorf Education is based on rhythm, and its center lies in eurythmy.” Eurythmy in the Life of the School The Waldorf school approach to education addresses the growing child in body, soul and spirit. All aspects of the curriculum are approached in as manifold a manner as possible, to guide the incarnating child to become a well-rounded human being. Eurythmy fills an essential part of this picture, educating through meaningful movement. The special skills children develop in eurythmy include bodily and spatial orientation, a sense for rhythm and measure, teamwork and social awareness, bringing poise, self-confidence, and the ability to think for oneself. The movements of eurythmy are filled with meaning which is of the same nature as language itself. The eurythmy curriculum offers exercises to provide a deeply somatic, kinesthetic understanding of all the subjects in school, including, for instance, math, geometry, botany, physics, chemistry, history, color, optics, poetry, and music. The wisdom of eurythmy supports the totality of Waldorf education. “It is the supreme example of a principle in all Steiner education that movement comes first. For it is the activity of the limbs which awakens and vitalizes the experience of the head.”* A eurythmist has trained for a minimum of four years to be able to bring these skills to a school community. Inspired by Anthroposophy, eurythmy can also contribute greatly to the spiritual and social life of a school community. With its transformative quality, eurythmy can enhance the life of the school in many ways: including providing a lively interactive opening to meetings of teachers, parents, and the Board; or as an enriching course for parents and community members. The talents of the eurythmy teacher can be used in many contexts, including class plays, all-school festivals, community outreach, and the like. It is important for the students to see and participate in eurythmy performances as often as possible. They should present pieces they have worked on in assemblies or eurythmy performances so that fellow students and their parents experience again and again the wealth it brings. It is also vital for the eurythmy teacher(s) to perform for the children and whole school community. Festivals, for example, can be greatly enhanced by the inclusion of such pieces. * Lundgren, Marguerite. Eurythmy and the Impulse of Dance 2 Eurythmy Association of North America KEYS FOR A SUCCESSFUL EURYTHMY PROGRAM 1. The Qualifications of the Eurythmist For long-term success of a eurythmy program, we strongly recommend Waldorf schools hire a eurythmist who has completed a 4-5 year artistic eurythmy training and received an accredited diploma recognized by the Section for the Performing Arts from the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland. This is the basis for entering the profession of eurythmy. Should an inadequately trained eurythmist be hired, the eurythmy program could be jeopardized in the short and long term, as experience has repeatedly shown. Furthermore, it would be very good for beginning eurythmists to have studied pedagogical eurythmy, the special application of teaching eurythmy to children. Many eurythmy training programs include a Waldorf Pedagogy and Curriculum track in their training which prepares graduates to work in schools. A graduate from such a training has a diploma certifying that they are thus prepared. If the beginning eurythmy teacher has not graduated from such a training, he or she should have completed, or have the intention to complete, an additional pedagogical eurythmy training (see the enclosed lists for recognized trainings and programs). If a Waldorf school finds itself in a position where only a teacher without a such a recognized eurythmy diploma and pedagogical eurythmy training is available, we strongly recommend the school make special efforts to help and support the applicant to complete a recognized training within three years. This will probably require creating an individualized learning plan and/or evaluation and mentoring process with one of the recognized eurythmy training centers. 2. Phasing-In Period for the Newly Hired Eurythmy Teacher To further ensure the success of a full or part time eurythmy teacher on a long-term basis, it is desirable to view the first year of teaching as a phasing-in period. The beginner would teach a certain number of classes a week for the first term (perhaps the more formed, stronger classes), thus becoming secure and establishing a connection with the students. Gradually further classes would be added until a fulltime load is reached. The presence and interest of the class teacher in eurythmy lessons can also lend a real support to ALL eurythmists in the classroom. It has been established that all teachers are well served by conscious mentoring. Mentoring of the new eurythmy teacher by an experienced eurythmist is especially advisable and helpful during the first year. 3. The Work Load: Range of Tasks and Scheduling For a fulltime position we recommend not more than 16 lessons of eurythmy per week, in addition to other regular duties. Teaching Pre-Kindergarten-8, or 7-12, or an equivalent combination is considered a full- time position. If the classes are large and need to be divided, or if the school has Pre-K through 12th grade, it is advisable to have two or more eurythmists sharing the work. In addition, the eurythmist's week should include one or possibly two additional scheduled hours with the paid accompanist: one for class planning and one for artistic work. It is also very useful to give the eurythmist opportunities to visit Main Lessons, as this can help curriculum coordination, as well as integrate the eurythmist into the social fabric of the school, serving to establish her/him as a full member of the faculty. 4. What is a Full Eurythmy Program? The eurythmy program should be active throughout the entire school year, in all grades of the school, from Early Childhood through 12th grade. 3 Eurythmy Association of North America 5. The Frequency and Length of Lessons Traditionally, eurythmy lessons in Kindergarten through 3rd grade are held once a week. Grades 4 through 12 have classes twice a week, providing more opportunity for practice and skill development. Some schools have found it beneficial to schedule eurythmy twice a week in the younger classes as well, in order to meet the needs of modern children.

In most Waldorf schools, pupils enter secondary education when they are about fourteen years old. The Steiner Waldorf kindergarten strives to be a haven from the stresses of the outside world.

  • Newsletter from the Performing Arts Section
    Newsletter from the Performing Arts Section Easter 2015 FOREWORD Dear newsletter readers, dear colleagues I started as the new head of the Section for the Performing Arts in January. This means that I now have the opportunity to meet people, to get to know initiatives and to take a new look at many situations. I am eager to see what will develop and curious to discover more about the quality of Section life, whether individuals in their own community feel that their work is part of the Section or not and what kind of collaboration and support is needed today. In any case I want to ask all of you to get in touch at any time to let me know your suggestions, your wishes and requests, your criticisms: I am simply curious! Every ‘newbie’ is also given the opportunity to question the status quo in a quite new and perhaps ‘stupid’ way, so I am letting you know that the newsletter from the next issue will change in appearance. In exchange with Silke Kollewijn, Hanna Koskinen, Michael Kurtz and Marcel Sorge we have for now come to the following decisions: The newsletter will continue to contain: • substantial contributions relating to aspects of eurythmy, Creative Speech and music • reports with a broad, long-term perspective (and that will therefore still be of interest in years to come) • some biographies of those who have died • current discussions on themes relating to specific subjects • questions about the Section: what are the different ideas of the Section? How does the Section live? What can we share with each other on this theme in the forum that this newsletter offers? The newsletter will no longer contain: • appointments and announcements.

  • Chronologically Lewis Joel D
    Chronologically Lewis Joel D. Heck All notes are done in the present tense of the verb for consistency. Start and end dates of term are those officially listed in the Oxford calendar. An email from Robin Darwall-Smith on 11/26/2008 explains the discrepancies between official term dates and the notes of C. S. Lewis in his diary and letters: “Term officially starts on a Thursday, but then 1st Week (out of 8) starts on the following Sunday (some might say Saturday, but it ought to be Sunday). The week in which the start of term falls is known now as „0th Week‟. I don‟t know how far back that name goes, but I‟d be surprised if it wasn‟t known in Lewis‟s day. The system at the start of term which I knew in the 1980s - and which I guess was there in Lewis‟s time too - was that the undergraduates had to be in residence by the Thursday of 0th Week; the Friday was set aside for start of term Collections (like the ones memorably described in Lewis‟s diary at Univ.!), and for meetings with one‟s tutors. Then after the weekend lectures and tutorials started in earnest on the Monday of 1st Week.” Email from Robin Darwall-Smith on 11/27/2008: “The two starts to the Oxford term actually have names. There‟s the start of term, in midweek, and then the start of „Full Term‟, on the Sunday - and is always Sunday. Lectures and tutorials start up on the following day.

  • Chapter Three a Call to Mindful Action
    Chapter Three A seed is planted … A Call to Mindful Action In this chapter I will trace the origins of Steiner Education in Europe, its context and its emergence in Australia. From out of the ash destructive fires, sprouting seeds and green shoots emerge. (Korobacz 1988:1) I gaze out onto the street. It is unusually empty and quiet. Nothing is happening. Not even the dogs are barking. I am in Ubud and its Nyepi day on the Balinese religious calendar. On Nyepi the world expected to be clean and everything starts anew, with human beings demonstrating their symbolic control over themselves and the life force of the world. I had arrived on the eve of the festival unprepared. Even the automatic tellers were closed and there was nothing to eat. Fortunately food had been prepared the previous day and a simple nasi goreng (fried rice) was brought up to me for breakfast. What to do? I organise my writing table, I may as well commence work. I look out over the straw-coloured rice fields. Not a working duck in sight! A breeze ripples over the stooped and heavy-laden heads of rice. Over and against this peaceful scene I contemplate the chaos and turmoil in the Europe at the time my parents were born. Following the Armistice of November 11 1918 and the ensuing collapse of the Central Powers and with the Allied blockade still in effect, economic and social chaos ensued. In Germany, the growing ranks of the unemployed were swelled by the return of disgruntled soldiers from the Western Front and because of hunger and destitution, 114 many were driven to join active revolutionaries of many persuasions, of the right and left.

  • Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, Architects of Anthroposophy
    Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, Architects of Anthroposophy Dr John Paull [email protected] A century ago, on the 23rd of May 1912, the winning design of Canberra was announced. Soon after, two talented Chicago architects set sail for Australia. Their plan for Australia’s national capital, already named Canberra but at the time merely an empty paddock, had won first prize in an international competition which attracted 137 entries. The winning prize money for the design was a modest £1750 (McGregor, 2009). Walter Burley Griffin (1876-1937) and Marion Mahony (1871-1961) were married in the year preceding the win. Marion had nagged Walter to enter the competition, “What’s the use of thinking about a thing like this for ten years if when the time comes you don’t get it done in time!” She pointed out the practicalities: “Perhaps you can design a city in two days but the drawings take time and that falls on me” (Griffin, 1949, volume IV p.294). After the win was announced, Walter declared: “I have planned it not in a way that I expected any government in the world would accept. I have planned an ideal city - a city that meets my ideal of a city of the future” (New York Times, 1912). Marion chronicled events of their life together in a typewritten four- volume memoir of over 1600 pages (Griffin, 1949). Her memoir documents their life together and liberally reproduces personal correspondence between them and their associates. Her unpublished manuscript reveals the intensity with which she and Walter embraced the thoughts of Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) and anthroposophy.
