Eurhythmics is...
a way of experiencing music through the interplay with movement: the listening body as sensitive organ bridges music and motion.
Perceiving, exploring, improvising and composing music and movement in interactive group settings builds the core of the practice. The subject aims at the development and differentiation of musical as well as motor skills as intertwined qualities. This forms the basis for learning processes, creative and artistic development.
