NEW DEVElOPMENTS IN THE TRAINING FOR EURYTHMY!
The West Midlands Eurythmy School is already accredited by the BAC (British Accreditation Council) and is in the process of being granted an award with Edexcel through Crossfields Institute, www.crossfieldsinstitute.com.
Pending the successful granting of the award, students will not only achieve a diploma in eurythmy recognised by the Section of Performing Arts of the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland, but will also achieve credit points at Level 5 (BA equivalent). This will allow them to progress to other courses or enter an MA programme upon successful graduation of the four-year basic training.
The West Midlands Eurythmy Association also offers a part-time EURYTHMY THERAPY COURSE fully recognised by the Medical Section at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland. Students wishing to enter this training will have the possibility of beginning it in blocks during the latter part of the third year of the basic eurythmy training. On this pathway students can achieve a diploma in eurythmy therapy at the end of five years.
Students opting at this stage (third year) to pursue studies in EURYTHMY AS A STAGE ART can choose further intensive artistic projects in eurythmy.
The third option, EURYTHMY IN EDUCATION, is pursued in blocks throughout the training, giving a foundation for all students to enter the teaching profession.
NEW PROJECT AND SECOND VENUE!
New applicants for the four-year eurythmy training will begin the first year with a broad foundation in the arts and anthroposophy as well as eurythmy. This ARTS FOUNDATION COURSE will be attended by other students who may be going on to study fine arts, speech and drama, or transfer to other courses. The sharing of theme-based classes will continue throughout the eurythmy training, giving students the opportunity to engage with each other cross-professionally.
The venue for this new initiative is the Cotswold town of STROUD in Gloucestershire, where the eurythmy therapy training already takes place. Stroud is a lively centre of artistic and cultural activity. It provides many opportunities for students to participate in community events, find work and accommodation, and enjoy the rich cafe life, local festivals and “open studio” events.
Stroud is also within easy reach of the Stourbridge campus at the Glasshouse College, where there is an established collaboration with the drama department and the performing Arts Centre.
