eurythmy

IMHO this is about the movement art established by Rudolf Steiner (because of the "anthroposophische Geisteswissenschaft" mentioned in your context), rather than about the "eurhythmics" devised by Emile Jaques-Dalcroze referred to by Helen, which is why I'd prefer the "eurythmy" spelling to make the necessary distinction.

Compare Wikipedia sources below.

To include the "Wissenschaft", you might also use "eurythmy method".
Peer comment(s):

neutral Helen Shiner : Frankly you are splitting hairs here - the spellings are interchangeable in EN and were applied to both by the same translator it seems, Dalcroze first - hence my alert to the spelling in the links I found.

You do have a point here...

agree Graham Timmins : clearly Steiner's eurythmy is intended here. Be warned, they don't teach spelling at Steiner schools so you will find variants!!

Eurythmic method

In my experience, it is generally known in this way in English; I doubt 'the science of Eurythmics' would do. See my reference material below.

It seems the term was given to both Dalcroze and Steiner by the same translator, being first applied to Dalcroze, please see this link. It is evident that there are as several spellings of this in EN, as I say,

By the way, 'Eurythmy method' doesn't look too promising as a combination - there are only 3 Ghits, one of which is us!

agree Harald Moelzer (medical-translator) : "Eurythmic method"

Thanks, Harald
disagree Graham Timmins : I have worked in a Waldorf school and my son has eurythmy classes at his, I never heard the words 'Eurythmic method'!

I am neither arguing against Steiner, nor claiming that it is an art or a science. Perhaps you should read what Steffen and I have actually written./You are disagreeing in the wrong place, and that doesn't mean that 'method' is not right.

Reference:

Eurhythmics [sic. - Wikipedia - though check this spelling

Eurhythmics (also Rhythmic Gymnastics, Rhythmics) is an approach to music education that was devised by Emile Jaques-Dalcroze. This method utilizes the expression of physical movement and musical rhythms to reinforce the concepts which affect the student’s performance and retention of musical basics.

It is the expression of physical and musical rhythms and the basic laws affecting their performance. Through participation in simple games, exercises and improvisations the students learn to combine music and movement in order to develop rhythmic unity between the eye, ear, mind and body. The definition of eurhythmics can get more complicated, “Of all music teaching methods, the Dalcroze approach is probably the most nebulous to define. That's because it lives in the teachers themselves, not in specific books, songs, or other materials. Specific branches, principles, and strategies form a common thread among Dalcrozians, while teachers may differ greatly in their interests, skills, and teaching styles (Dale, Monica).”

Looks like it is the accepted spelling:

neutral Steffen Walter : I think we need to draw a fine line between Dalcroze and Steiner here (see my answer). In this instance, Steiner's "eurythmy" seems to be meant because of the "Anthroposophische Geisteswissenschaft" mentioned in the context.
