A Conversation In Montreal

It was really a pleasure to see Christa Kuehn again. Many of Canada's eurythmists had their first classes with Christa, including veterans such as Renate Krause! Christa has been a very active publicist and performer of eurythmy in Canada, and she inspires (challenges?) the current generation do more eurythmy with the public.

Claudia Maurice and Andree Lanthier were also part of the conversation. They are each working hard, overcoming obstacles and loving their work. We focused on some of the practical aspects relating to a eurythmy career, such as salaries, working/performance spaces, funding sources, and the deceptively simple question - How do I write a poster?

What is the priority, and how can we develop relationships with influential friends who can help?

Helene Besnard greeted us at the beginning of our meeting, and went off to give some last-minute coaching to her students. Later in the afternoon, we were treated to a workshop performance of parts of the Foundation Stone meditation. The audience (members of the Anthroposophical Society in Montreal and from across Canada) formed a circle in the performance space afterwards, and held a conversation in the eurythmy afterglow...
