Speech and DramaSteinerBooks, 2007 M10 24 - 418 pages 19 lectures, Dornach, April 10, 1921 and September 5-23, 1924 (CW 282) This course was designed for students and professionals in the stage arts and given in the Section for the Arts of Speech and Music School of Spiritual Science at the Goetheanum. Rudolf Steiner begins with a fundamental and spiritually-rooted appreciation of human speech and what actually takes place during human communication. Speech is a spiritual activity as well as an art form, lending itself to real interaction with both higher spiritual worlds and the human world of social conversation. Steiner shows that speech is a powerful tool for any serious dramatist in conveying the reality of worlds, whether visible or invisible, to the individual souls in the audience. This is an essential book for anyone involved in speech work, communication arts, and many kinds of therapies. This volume is a translation from German of Sprachgestaltung und Dramatische Kunst (GA 282). |
