17 – 21 March 2015
Ein Geburtstagsfest der besonderen Art
richten die Veranstalter des Internationalen
Rhythmikfestivals zum 150. Geburtstag von
Émile Jaques-Dalcroze aus. Die Akademie
Remscheid und der Arbeitskreis Musik und
Bewegung / Rhythmik laden zu einem umfangreichen Workshop- und Vortragsprogramm mit internationalen Gästen ein.
Unterschiedlichste Veranstaltungsformate
werden der Bandbreite der Rhythmik gerecht: die Schwerpunkte Dalcroze-Methode,
Rhythmik mit einem speziellen Profil und
Rhythmik interdisziplinär ermöglichen den
Festivalbesuchern eine umfassende Einsicht
in das Fach, seine Methoden und Perspektiven.
A very special kind of birthday party will take
place at the International Eurythmics
Festival to celebrate the 150th birthday of
Émile Jaques-Dalcroze. The Academy
Remscheid and the German Association of
Music and Movement / Eurhythmics (AMBR)
invite you to take part in an extensive
workshop and conference program with
international guests. A wide variety of event
formats will present the broad spectrum of
eurhythmics: the main focus being on, the
Dalcroze method, eurhythmics with a
specific
profile
and
interdisciplinary
eurhythmics - and will give festival-goers a
comprehensive insight into the field of
eurhythmics,
its
methods
and
its
perspectives.
An zwei Abenden werden im Rahmen eines
Internationalen Festivalwettbewerbs zur
Prämierung ausgewählte Bühnenstücke in
Musik und Bewegung gezeigt und die
Gewinner bestimmt. Expertengespräche
und offene Diskussionsrunden zu aktuellen
Themen, Improvisations-Jams und Kick-offLektionen runden das Programm ab, das aus
verschiedenen Blickwinkeln die künstlerisch-ästhetische Beziehung von Musik und
Bewegung thematisiert: Bewegung als
Schlüssel zur Musik und Musik als Triebfeder für Bewegung.
On two evenings, performances of pieces
selected from the competition for music and
movement composition and choreography
will be presented and the winners will be
chosen. Interviews with experts and open
discussions on current topics, improvisational jam sessions and kick-off lessons
complete the programme, showing different
viewpoints on the artistic-aesthetic relationship between music and movement: movement as a key to music and music as an
incentive for movement.

Aleksandra Bilińska
Émile Jaques-Dalcroze as a composer and
artist during his time*
For many years Dalcroze has been best known
as a teacher and creator of his fantastic
method of music education. Dalcroze however
is also very interesting as a composer and
theoretist. The focus of my research looks at
Dalcroze compositions with XIXth Century
tonality and harmony but with a very new
rhythmical structure and emotional influences
(between expression and impression). As for
music analysis he was focused on finding new
and different methods to help others
understand new music, the music of his time.
During my workshop and speech I would like to
show the connections between Dalcroze
compositions and those of other composers of
his time and a little bit later, also I would also
like to show how Dalcroze‘s method alongside
other methods are used in the analysis of
music created in his time and later.
* The workshop will take place in English.
Aleksandra Bilińska, Katowice, is composer,
lecturer, ethnomusicologist, improviser.
She graduated from the Department of
Composition, Conducting and Music Theory at
the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in
Katowice and the Institute of Musicology at the
University of Warsaw, specializing in
Ethnomusicology.
She has worked as a lecturer in the
Composition, Interpretation, Education and
Jazz Departments at the Karol Szymanowski
Academy of Music in Katowice and at the
Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw.
She has taken part in many international and
national conferences as a theorist and held
many workshops in piano improvisation (ISME
Brasil; Emil Jaques-Dalcroze’s Institutes in:
Hellerau, Germany; Brussel, Belgium; Taipei,
Taiwan; Pedagogical University in Sumy,
Ukraine, and the Academies of Music in Poland)
Aleksandra Bilińska is also a composer. She has
created electronic music for many
choreographers and dance theatres in Poland.
Her compositions have been performed in
Poland, Ukraine, Puerto Rico, Germany, Czech
Republic, Taiwan.
The scope of her research involves the
composition techniques of 20th century music
and electro-acoustic music and first of all:
working artistically with choreographers.

- Plastique animée*
or how to transpose the various actions of a
ball into functional body movements and how
to make them aesthetic and expressive from a
musical conducting line.
* The workshop will take place in English.
Michèle de Bouyalsky, Brussels, studied ballet
at the Conservatoire de Danse de Bruxelles.
Then, she received training in dance (classical,
modern and character), scenography, music
theory, voice and rhythm (with Fernand
Schirren) at the Mudra Béjart’s school Brussels.
Knowledge of this discipline and exploration of
rhythm led her to the Institut Jaques-Dalcroze
de Bruxelles, where she learnt Eurhythmics
with Sergine Eckstein (Jaques-Dalcroze’s
student) and Monique Petit. There, she also
received training in Bodily Expression. In
addition, she improved her Functional
Movement skills with Rosalia Chladek.
Since 1980, she has been teaching Rhythmic
Choreography at the Institut Dalcroze de
Bruxelles to children (from 3 years old),
teenagers, adults and artists as well as future
teachers. In 1998, her students achieved First
Prize and Audience Award at the second
European Euthythmics Competition in
Trossingen. Since 2005, she is editor of Le
Rythme within the FIER Committee.

Kurt Dreyer
Unmasked - a plea for the moving face
This talk is about the face as we show it to our
fellow human beings, should it be in various
social situations, in musical interpretation and
specifically in dance. In different cultures, in
many forms of theater and explicitly in some
forms of dance technique, certain facial
expressions are required which do not
necessarily coincide with the emotions of the
artist. Many contemporary dance pieces break
with the formalized vocabulary of movement a break with formalized facial expression is the
necessary amendment.
Kurt Dreyer, Lucerne, Training in classical and
contemporary dance techniques, T'ai Chi,
Alexander technique and choreography. Many
dance pieces, direction work and
performances, often in collaboration with
musicians and visual artists. Has worked as a
dance teacher since 1974 and worked at
various music colleges engaged in vocational
training: Training eurhythmics / music and
movement; Opera Studio / Stagelab;
Instrumental and vocal training at the
universities of Bern, Lucerne and Basel. Artistic
Dance at the University of Bern. The direction
of students performances of pieces for children
and the supervision of operas with children.
Guest courses and consultancies in Europe,
Hong Kong and Taiwan. Head of the music and
movement / eurhythmics department at Biel
Hochschule der Künste Bern (HKB) until 2012.
Teaching: Rhythmic body work, stage-oriented
movement for singers and musicians,
placement, dance and movement technique,
improvisation, dance composition, Scenic

Barbara Dutkiewicz
Plastique animée*
The workshop includes exercises in the field of aesthetics
and movement techniques in correlation with the
expression of music in movement. This area defines the
issues that are specific to the forms of artistic expression
in eurhythmics.
Whereby the main focus is on the coherence of the
emotional and the formal content of musical expression
by shaping movement, spatial composition, conventions,
aesthetics and symbolic meanings. These elements
provide the basis for the artistic dimension of this
method.
The exercises we will do will better the perception of the
selected aspects of musical expression and modern
means of artistic expression. They require the active and
creative participation of the participants.
Use of props in the choreography of music*
By using props on stage you make them become a part of
artistic expression. The fact that they are seen on the
stage, means that they must become a part of the creative
process developing the work of art and as a result part of
the meanings associated with it. This dependence forces
us to take into account both the visual and aesthetic
values as well as the dramatic and symbolic values of the
props.
Therefore, during the workshop, the exercises we will do
will concern the use of a prop both: firstly in its visual
aspect (like set design, costume) supporting and
complementing the movement and the performance and
secondly with regard to its symbolic significance (in
association with the dynamics and more or less abstract
course of action on stage).
We will use exercises with props to heighten awareness of
compositional elements such as plot, the significance of
particular actions, the use of line, colour, rhythm and
focus on the functions for which the props can be used.
Because there can be difficulties working with a prop due
to its structure, quality or its physical characteristics,
some exercises will focus on how to adapt and change
the characteristics of props with the aim of developing
creative movement and to enrich the kinetic possibilities.
* The workshop will take place in English.

Anita Gritsch
body - rhythm - sound
Rhythm, made audible and visible through our
own bodies - that is body music.
In this workshop, we will explore this universe,
investigating how improvised rhythms may be
threaded around pulsation within a group, how
playing with the possibilities of sound
production may help develop listening skills in
spontaneous music making, and how we may
train independence, collaboration and
coordination in bound improvisation activities
that are based on a regular beat. Engaging with
direction and impulse, we will build a bridge
between musical and movement aspects,
connecting functional with expressive qualities.

Dance/music*
Workshop/lab, based on listening that can be
described in three phases: to pay attention (at
risk), hearing (sound) and listening (physical,
with the whole organism).
We will translate the musical elements to dance
through various improvisational models. This
physical sensation of music transformed into
movement give a development to deepen and
complicate your musicality in dance/music.
We will also work with two-voice harmony;
music and movement; Not visualized, not in
opposition but assimilated, to get this twovoice harmony.
Through improvisational work we will make
exercises with listening as a key concept in
relation to the inner hearing, to the co dancers
and to the sounding music. To experience and
learn how listening consciously and
subconsciously balance between these poles.
Through these exercises we will build up
sensitivity to impulses to an embodied
musicality. The class has the corporeal music
as a frame.
* The workshop will take place in English.

Listening and Interplay*
Through our bodies, in movement and
improvisation, we will examine the listening
and interplay used in all music making.
We will work with the extended listening of the
whole body, perceiving not only played music,
but the room, the bodies in a room and the
shifting space between them. Bodies in
movement forming intervals, chords and parts
as of visualized music. Bodies that, whether
they follow each other or move apart, stay
connected by the single element of listening.
* The workshop will take place in English.

Hilde Kappes
The
Humour of Voice and the Sound of
Movement
Stimme und Bewegung / Improvisation
und A-Capella-Sport
The methodology of the eurhythmics / music
and movement education enables, by
integrating different resources, a natural and
very physical access to the voice. It gives the
learner the opportunity to use movement,
body, music, rhythm and play to develop the
voice, to discover it in unconventional ways or
get away from a too achievement-orientated or
self-critical standard. Artistic creativity and
forms arising out of improvisation and playful
experimentation serve as a means to take the
bite out of developing, serious personal issues.
“Der Humor der Stimme" translates as not only
“The Humour of the Voice" but also the "Whims
of the Voice”. Improvised choirs, polyphonic
turn-arounds or "wicked a capella Sport" boldly
allow the whole pallet of vocal expression
forms to be used out of which almost
bouffonesque melodies can arise.
The combination of voice and movement, of
flexibility in the spine and the voice, breathingspace and energy and the interactive play of
grounding and discharging allow a new access
to the voice to develop..

The spectral body:
diversity in unity, unity in diversity*
In the workshop-lecture "The spectral body" we
will explore the different aspects of the sound
spectrum in relation to body and movement.
We will focus on spectral music (music
technique of the 1970s based on the overtones
of sounds) in movement composition.
Mouvement research through the experiment
of translation of this technique: the interior of
the sound to the interior of the movement, the
"partials" of the movement.
What are the components of the movement or
of the movement composition in comparison to
the spectral sound which is made up of lots of
overtones and yet remains a single sound?
How to reach this profundity in motion without
a mere illustration of musical structure?
Is there a spectral movement?
Is there a spectral choreography?
* The workshop will take place in English.

Ava Loiacono
SOLFÈGE – Ear Training*
One of the Dalcroze principles is to create a
link between rythmics, solfège and
improvisation, so that the three branches
would interact and nourish the musicality of
the student.
This workshop will explore and develop this
principle based on an “active” way of listening.
Participants will be involved in listening,
reacting, moving and singing according to the
material presented: intervals, scales, chords,
melodic and rhythmic patterns etc.
The workshop is open both to beginners and
experienced participants.
Vocal improvisation will also be a part of the
lesson.
* The workshop will take place in English.
Ava Loiacono is a musician and actress.
She trained at the Lecoq School in Paris in

Dance theater improvisation for people with
and without special needs
This workshop is about the connection
between dance, theater and language. The
lecturers will present exercises with a variety of
themes which can be used to raise awareness
for and to link different forms of expresssion.
Tamara McCall, Dipl.-Eurhythmic Teacher,
Professor of Elementary Music Education at the
University of Osnabrück since 2007, has spent
almost 20 years of intensive artistic and
educational research into dance, eurhythmics
and music in an inclusive context.
Many people can be reached using the
fundamental link between the voice, speech
and movement and thereby helped to discover
and refine their personal expression. Multilayered forms of contact and expression make
it easier to work with an inclusive group. A
variety of settings for improvisation will give
the participants enough space to experiment
and time to watch and to reflect.
Dörte Steinsdorff-Schulte, Dipl. Actress and
speech therapist. Lecturer for Artistic Speaking
and Performing Arts at the University of

natural form of human expression and as part
of the artistic context.

Anetta Pasternak
Modern music in Dalcroze’s concept of
plastique animée
Reflections on the author’s own educational
and artistic experiences*
Émil Jaques-Dalcroze’s method is open for
further development due to the fact that it
changes with the evolution of modern music. A
correct music interpretation is possible only as
the result of an in-depth analysis of the
music’s structure and its expressive features,
which are then transposed into the expressive
movement of “plastique animée”.
The desire to use movement to adequately
express modern music requires deep body
awareness. This requires a physical training
which should be combined with a properly
developed technique of musical expression
with movement. An appropriate level of
physical control allows the performer to reach
a higher level unity between the music and the
movement, which in turn has a considerable
influence on the depth of the analysis and the
intensity of the experience.
The workshop leader aims to display the
special features of plastique animée based on
her own experience using contemporary music.
The workshop will reflect her work with
students of Eurhythmics at the university level
as well as the artistic activities in the students’
Rhythm Theatre – “Katalog”.
The creative process of music interpretation
will be shown in connection to different stages
of the work – eurhythmics, solfège physical
training and choreography.
* The workshop will take place in English.

RITMICA VIENA in Buenos Aires
5 years of developing / building audiences
for Eurhythmics in South America
“Where to go next to develop and apply the
ample skills acquired during my education?” is
an essential question for many graduates of
Eurhythmics. The case of the initiative RITMICA
VIENA shows a successful example of the
possibility of building an international career
and expanding networks overseas.
This lecture gives an overview of the work of
this group which has been spreading the
method of Rhythmics / Music and Movement
Education from Buenos Aires. Today, the team
consists of a team of four Eurhythmics teachers
from Argentina, Germany, Columbia and
Austria who studied the method in
Vienna/Austria or Buenos Aires. Over the past
years, RITMICA VIENA has expanded and grown
into a sort of professional stronghold in the
southern hemisphere, offering weekly courses
for children and adults, continued education
programmes for teachers, seminars at various
institutions within universities and, since 2011,
an annual international Eurhythmics week - the
SIRBA - as well as working with performance
groups. The lecture offers an insight into
contents, strategies and challenges related to
these efforts.
Alexander Riedmüller was born in Tübingen,
Germany, and currently lives in Buenos Aires,
Argentina. After completing his degree in
Rhythmics / Music and Movement Education at
the University for Music and Performing Arts
Vienna, he decided to continue his career in
South America. Together with argentine
colleagues, he founded the initiative RITMICA
VIENA in 2009, organizing and offering
Rhythmics courses, seminars and workshops,
as well as holding an annual international
Rhythmics Week in Buenos Aires called SIRBA.
He is also director of the performance group
Laboratorio Rítmico Escéncio. Both with
RITMICA VIENA as well as with his other main
project, the improvisational theatre group artig
(from Vienna), he has travelled more than 20
countries as a teacher of Rhythmics, actor,
trainer and speaker.
He has presented his work at several
congresses in South America and Europe. To

Eurhythmics and concert pedagogy
The term concert pedagogy which
encompasses in its field of activity, music
education and dramaturgy, has been
established in the municipal orchestra scene
for several years now.
Now concert education has also arrived on the
independent scene. The concert educators
working in this broad field which has
programmes for all ages, includes not only
teachers but also the musicians themselves,
playwrights, conductors, etc.
The principles of eurhythmics as well as
eurhythmics methods have found (unnoticed?)
a fixed place in concert education.
The focus of this workshop is to plan and
implement music and concert education
projects for children visiting orchestras and
concert halls:



19
How do you create a program tailored to
a target group?
Which organizational procedures, which
dramaturgical motives influence the
structure of a children's concert?
Which methods should concert
pedagogy consider using and how
important is the involvement of music &
movement?

Reinhard Ring
Émile Jaques-Dalcroze A Critical Acknowledgement
A great personality has always to be
rediscovered and reevaluated by each new
generation. Some of the work can only be
understood in its time. Other aspects are
timelessly valid. Dalcroze was the first and
most important representative of an active
music education in the 20th century. He was
followed by other personalities and methods
between which we can establish a relationship.
Thus it is easier to understand what is special
about his personality, ideas and pedagogical
approach.

Lena Romanova
Eurhythmics and Artistic Projects*
I would like, with the participants to look at the
things which from my point of view, were most
important to deal with when I started the
project called “RHYTHM-THEATRE” in 2004.
Being on stage is a very valuable experience
especially for young students. The Dalcroze
method helps us to get inside the music, into
the “theatre” of sound.
It teaches us:





to feel its movement, to hear the silence
and to follow its development;
to train our communicative abilities: to
establish a sense of community and the
ability to interact with our partners
without words;
to express the music with the help of
simple movements and gestures;
to feel the balance between our emotion
and our intention, between our spirit
and body;
to deal with music of different types,
styles and epochs.
* The workshop will take place in English.
Lena Romanova has lived and worked in
Moscow all her life.
She began teaching music in the 1980s. In the
early 90's she heard about Dalcroze
eurhythmics for the first time. Since then she
has taken part in a great number of
International Eurhythmic events, such as
Congresses (Geneva, Vienna), Workshops
(Hellerau – Germany) and Summer Schools
(Italy, UK, USA).
Since 2003 she has worked at the Gnessin
College of Music where she started developing
the education projects “RHYTHM-THEATRE”
(2005) and “PLANET OF RHYTHM" (2010).
She believes strongly that there should be no
limits defined by the state, which regulate the
way people experience music and rhythm or
with regard to any “special forms” of artistic
development.

Hellerau meets New Orleans
At the time when Dalcroze was experimenting
with different forms of movement in Hellerau
in the search for a better understanding of
rhythm, drummers in New Orleans were
working on building a new instrument with
which they could better express themselves
rhythmically. While eurhythmics in Germany
has become a field dominated by women, the
drum set which is considered a typical
instrument in the male domain has virtually
played no role in the field of eurhythmics.
What can eurhythmics and drummers learn
from each other? What ideas for movement
improvisation can, for example, be inspired by
the Second Line Drumming and what has the
New Jack Swing to do with eurythmics? What
approaches can be used in eurythmics to get a
physical and sensory understanding of a
Secondary Rag figure or to stimulate the
rhythmic coordination of the four extremities
in experimental movement?
Marianne Steffen-Wittek and Fritz Wittek will
describe the major developments of the
various drum set styles from their beginnings
up until the present day and will which
establish the connections there are between
the past and present theory and practice of
eurhythmics.

Edith Pia Stocker
Eurhythmics - a creative process in
Education and Special Education
Teaching in the context of the "Arts" is
currently receiving increased attention in art
colleges. It is stimulating to ask the question
how knowledge is acquired through “artistic
processes” and added to this, what is the
nature of those findings. Also if one believes
that everyone is entitled to have access to
sensual and aesthetic experiences, the
challenge is to adapt creative methods in
accordance with the requirements of an
inclusive approach.
We will begin the workshop with exemplary
creative methods, furthermore theoretical
models on issues such as multi-perspective and
“logic of development” didactics, creative
processes and aesthetic education will be
presented.
Practice and theory are then the basis for a
mutual contemplation and discussion of the
importance of creative methods, as used in
Eurhythmics, for special education.

Eva Nivbrant Wedin
South African Gumboot Dancing*
Gumboot dancing, as a rhythmical dance, was
established in the South African mines more
than a century ago. The dance is performed in
a group, through rhythmical steps, claps and
slaps on the boots. During ’the struggle’ the
dance was used as a statement against the
apartheid regime, and after the democratic
revolution in 1994, it has become an integral
aspect of the culture. The dance can be seen at
schools, performed on the streets by buskers
and in professional shows. Gumboot dance is
now spreading across the world, both in
professional shows and as a dance form for
everyone to try and enjoy.
Gumboot dancing can be used as an effective
tool in music education, as rhythmic training
and coordination training, and as an inspiration
in other forms of body percussion. The dance
figures can also be used to show different
musical aspects.
In this workshop, the participants will learn a
few dance steps and view video footage from
South Africa. We will also consider examples of
how ‘gum boot dancing’ can be utilized when
teaching eurhythmics.
Why I teach gumboot? Since 20013 I teach
eurhythmics and music education one month a
year at South African Universities. During my
stays in South Africa I have learned gumboot
dancing and I use to practice with different
groups and gumboot masters.
* The workshop will take place in English.
