In the Spirit of Steiner Festival  wants to introduce to audiences that know our work, and audiences that will find us for the first time, with a new approach to performance the love that we share for this work. We approach the performances using the same techniques in 3 completely different genres. Symphonic Eurythmy, also known as visible music, and Mystery Theater. The latter an approach to seeing on stage how the spiritual beings and spiritual worlds effect our daily physical world. Our tour is planned to begin the second half of 2018. We will perform in repertory each performance twice a week in each venue. Our touring company plans to be approximately 57 members working with a local Symphonic Orchestra.

The Cirlce Widens

THE WORKING OF THE SPIRIT

Production 2:

The Circle Widens - The Working of the Spirit

The Mystery Play is a dramatic form that has been passed down through the ages. It differs from other plays by showing on stage the connection between the spiritual world and the earth; it reveals the activity of the spiritual beings who work from the heavens to help or hinder human beings in their earthly lives. For the classical Greek playwrights, such as Aeschylus, the involvement in daily human life of divine forces, personified in the Gods and the Furies, was a reality that they allowed to appear onstage. In a more modern era, the most famous Mystery Plays are perhaps those of the York Cycle, a series of at least 48 plays, performed by the York Craft Guilds from 1376 to 1569. In the year 2000, a revival of the York Cycle was staged in the York Minster as The York Millennium Mystery Plays. FIND OUT MORE
