The gestures that build the basic movement repertoire of a eurythmist are connected to the sounds and rhythms of
language, to the tonal experience of music, to fundamental soul experiences (such as joy and sorrow), and so on.
Once this fundamental repertoire is mastered, it can be composed into free artistic expressions.

"Just as the creative forces of nature draw upon the inexhaustible source of the
infinite, so that it is always possible to perceive in something which has come to
fruition much more than was originally implanted in it, so is it also when artistic
impulses unite themselves with the mighty creative forces of nature. In such a case
the artist is not merely developing some more or less limited impulse, but he reaches
the point when he makes of himself an instrument for the creative powers of the
universe, so that very much more grows out of his activity than he could originally
have intended or foreseen. "
R. Steiner
