From friend Lori Barian:
For those unfamiliar, eurythmy is a dance form that endeavors to embody and express spoken word and musical tone. A pianist will accompany all three performances. A cellist and violinist will play for the evening performance as well.
We are seeking local support in a couple of areas. If you feel called to help with meals, lodging, irons and ironing boards, promotions, etc., please use this sign-up sheet.
My husband Lance and I are joyfully supporting this opportunity. We love eurythmy and are looking forward to seeing each of the performances ourselves. We hope many of you are able to attend. We would love to see you there. Thank you!
Area schools (including Seattle Waldorf, Sunfield and Woodhaven) and Whidbey homeschoolers are bringing students to daytime performances. I am also excited about evening public performance because it features the story of Julia Butterfly Hill. Here’s a description from ESVE.
The Storm tells the story of Julia Butterfly Hill “as a moving example of greatness of spirit, embodying love in action through her heroic deed. Alone, staked out high-up in the tumultuous boughs of thousand-year-old Luna the Redwood tree, twenty-one year old Julia makes a year-long stand against the logging industry, illuminating a strength of inner resolve, flaming idealism, and depth of courage that redirects the course of outer events.Speech and tone eurythmy pieces by Henry Cowell, Langston Hughes, Carl Sandburg, Archibald MacLeish, Frédéric Chopin surround The Storm. The evening is wrapped up by a light section, and concluded with the final movement from Antonin Dvořák’s Dumky Trio No. 4 with piano, violin, and cello.”
