Newsletter: Eurythmy West Midlands WMEA Spring 2009

At the Eurythmy School at the Glasshouse College, we are exploring some international connections. First, the idea of exchanging teachers for a block – often broached but always shelved – is being realised and is paying dividends.
The students, too, taking up the initiative of their future colleagues on the continent, are contributing items of work for not one but two events: the meeting of 2nd- & 3rd-year students at the Eurythmy Academy, The Hague (Holland) 6–9 April 2009, and the 6th Eurythmy Forum in Witten (Germany) in 20–23 May 2009.
Watch out for reports on these meetings in our next Newsletter.
No less than four stage-events are being rehearsed. The 3rd-year students participate in the Glasshouse production of “The Temple” – you all know the statue of Hiram in the car park and the Legend of Solomon’s Temple. The stage-group are preparing a eurythmy production of Barbara Foster’s play “The Phoenix” (originally an illustrated Easter-story, performed last year as a drama with eurythmy).
And the fourth-year students are building up their graduation programme, which will be taken to Dornach for the 4th-year meeting and showing of work, and also taken on a short tour of England.
Lessons continue, though (as is our custom) the next public showing of work forms the climax of the year, on June 26 (2nd-&-3rd-years showing-of-work) & 27 (4th-year graduation) 2009, in the Glasshouse College Theatre, Wollaston Road, Stourbridge DY8 4HF.
Please also note that the Annual General Meeting is planned for Tuesday, 2nd June 2009, 5.30 pm (with supper! at the Glasshouse College).
We hope to be able to greet many old and new friends at these forthcoming events.
The Directors of WMEA see the necessity of employing an administrator (part-time) to help with office work. This is rather urgent. Any suggestions?
On a personal note, thank you all well-wishers! “0 to 60 eventually” was the motto of the old crocks I used to drive. Applied to myself, however, it was always “soon enough”. But they do tell me I now qualify for a bus- and a rail-pass and other delights.
Can’t be bad – see the grandchildren more, huh? Look out for the joint “Big 5 and Big 6” celebration before Easter…
With warmest greetings,
for the colleagues and students,
Alan Stott
