Eurythmy West Midlands StageGroup

Maren Stott / eurythmy, concept Geoffrey Norris / speech artist, director Alan Stott / piano, coach John Watson / lighting design The concept: for this solo-programmme began with the search for the source of inspiration in the word itself: the search for gessture, music an tone-colour in poetry. What motivates the poet and the composer? What is their creative path, faced with the life-situations at the beginning of the last century till today. The programme: itself is arranged as a conversation between speech, music and eurythmy. A waking-dream landscape appears as we progress through tensions and resolutions, through humour and the deeply serious - which are often hardly seperable. We are led out of the depths of the sea on to the dry land - from the question of insecurity to that of the artist (for us all?) - What is reality? Do not beauty, ambiguity and humour, just as interest, compassion and environmental questions belong to our full human existence, faced with everything that would threaten to deny, fix or destroy? The English language with its non-inflected freedoms, its openess to what lives unspoken between the words themselves, offers particular possibilities to express this playful element in Life. The innovative music of Debussy provides an ideal commentary. The art of eurythmy - a language of gesture and movement - attemps to extend experience. By researching in movement the nuts and bolts of poetry and music, eurythmy can bring before, and with, your eyes what your ears deeply perceive For more information: Maren aand Alan Stott eurythmy.wm@ukoline.co.uk
