Reviews
'I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and am grateful that it is finally available in the English language, thanks to the initiative of the excellent translator Dorothea Miers. It offers deep insights into both Eurythmy and Rudolf Steiner, and yet remains an accessible and interesting read... For those who are keen to gain glimpses into the extraordinary spiritual possibilities of the art of Eurythmy, this book is a must.' -- Gregers Brinch, Peredur Eurythmy, Forest Row 'Tatiana Kisseleff's account of her experiences as one of the first eurythmists is invaluable for anyone practising or teaching eurythmy today. I would highly recommend it to anyone working as a eurythmist or wishing to deepen their insights into the beginnings of both eurythmy and anthroposophy.' -- Saraphir Legind, Eurythmist and Movement Teacher, UK '[An] important account by a leading eurythmist... Priceless.' -- Maren and Alan Stott, West Midlands Eurythmy Association

Author Information
Tatiana Kisseleff (1881-1970) was born in Warsaw, Poland to Russian parents. She studied law in France and later went to live in Moscow where she met and married the painter Nikolai Kisseleff. The couple became interested in Theosophy, and in 1911 Tatiana met Rudolf Steiner and Marie von Sivers in Hanover, Germany. Although Tatiana's interests lay in social work, Steiner directed her to the art of eurythmy and took her on as a personal student. She studied eurythmy in Berlin before being invited to Dornach in 1914 to teach eurythmy. The rest of her life was devoted to the practice and teaching of eurythmy. Dorothea Mier was director of Eurythmy Spring Valley, USA, from 1980 to 2005, following many years as a member of the Goetheanum stage group under the direction of Marie Savitch. She is currently active teaching workshops in the US and abroad.
