«RAUMerOEFFNUNG»

  • «beginnings» MUSIC- POETRY- MOVEMENT: Performance by Project Zero Circle. Yvonne Lachmann (Speech/ Acting), Gunta Abele (Cello) and Lisa Rieder (Violin) join Andrea and Markus Weder (U- Rhythm Eurythmy) in this production. The first part consists of an interwoven sequence of poetry by Denis Levertov and the Sonata for Violin and Cello by Maurice Ravel. The outspoken beauty of this poetry acutely reflects the consciousness of our time in its spiritual meaning and in its bold structure. It is truly prophetic poetry for the 21 century. The composition by Maurice Ravel presents us with a full palette of feelings in its varied colors and moods: from delicate lyricism to moments of joyful exuberance to expressions of sorrow and pain – all parts of our existence. The second part of the program continues the exploration of our inner lives: Japanese Tankas (modern, short Haikus)and the Preludes for Violoncello by Sofia Gubaidulina. The Tankas are poignant imaginations of soul events, at times poetic and transcendent and in other instances absurd and humorous. The pieces for violoncello are contemporary, short and succinct, a lively adventure into new soul and soundscapes.
  • Friday/Saturday 4./5. december 2015, 20h00

Both events will take place in the new Project Zero Circle Studio, Untere Rebgasse 8/10, 4058 Basel.

Our Mission

Project Zero Circle and the U-Rhythm Academy cherish the spiritual wisdom of the human body in motion. By promoting social harmony and spiritual renewal, we seek to achieve individual, cultural, and global transformation. Rooted in the tradition of eurythmy as inaugurated by Rudolf Steiner and yet contemporary in artistic approach, we intend to make this art form a relevant part of today’s cultural life. We are carrying eurythmy into the future by performing internationally and educating future generations of eurythmists. Our studio serves as a performance venue and includes the U-Rhythm Academy- Eurythmy. This center will serve as a meeting place for visual, literary, and performing artists to inspire each other and for the spiritually curious and artistically inclined to build community.

Who we are

Andrea and Markus toured together internationally as performers, directors and master teachers with Eurythmy Spring Valley (from 1991- 1996) and the Austin Eurythmy Ensemble (1996- 2014). We taught for ten years as Artist-In-Residence at the Austin Waldorf School. Andrea and Markus are the founders and Artistic Directors of the Austin Eurythmy Ensemble and initiated the «Austin Youth Eurythmy Troupe» and the «International Summer Eurythmy Academy». Since 2008 they have been the Project Leaders of the new professional full-time eurythmy training «im- pulse. eurythmy, International Eurythmy Studies» in Austin, USA and Dornach, Switzerland. In 2014 we founded PROJECT ZERO CIRCLE and moved in 2015 to Basel.
