 Speech
and Drama
19 lectures by Rudolf Steiner
In the
Speech and Drama course, originally designed for students and professionals in
stagecraft, Rudolf Steiner starts from a fundamental and
spiritually-rooted appreciation of the nature of human speech
and what takes place in human communication. Speech is both a
spiritual activity and an art-form which lends itself to
interaction with the higher spiritual worlds as well as to the
human-social world around us. Thus, it becomes a powerful tool
for the true dramatist in his ability to convey the reality of
worlds both seen and unseen to the individual souls in the
audience.
Part one of
this course
is devoted to speech formation. The second part deals with
theatre arts. In part three, Steiner brings the art of drama
into relationship to society as whole.
Topics
included are:
-
Speech
formation as an art
