Eurythmy as Embodied Music: From Score to SpaceJust as George Crumb composed his
Little Christmas Suite — listening to the silence between notes, working with sound as living matter — so we approach each production. Our stage eurythmy is not a translation of music into movement, but its continuation in three-dimensional space, where light and silk costumes play a special role.
In working with the composition, we follow:- The rhythmic soul of the piece — where even pauses become visible
- The timbre palette — where every note of prepared piano or fortepiano finds physical expression
- The architecture of form — where musical structure unfolds in spatial shapes
As Crumb revealed sound's hidden poetry through unconventional playing techniques, we unveil the work's inner dynamics through:• Transforming musical intervals and notes into spatial relationships and gestures
• Embodying harmonic progressions through scene transitions
• Materializing counterpoint in the performers' interactions
Our production is:- Exploration (deep reading of the musical text)
- Transformation (finding movement equivalents)
- Realization (creating a unified sound-movement image)
In this process — as with Crumb — every detail matters:Precision of gesture = purity of intonation
Position in space = note's place in the score
Ensemble interaction = polyphonic fabric
