Four European universities with professional educations in Eurythmics has worked together for three years in an Erasmus+ project: Universität der Künste, Belin (UdK), Universität für Musik und dachstellende Kunst, Wien (mdw), Akademia Muzyczna im. Karola Szymanowskiego in Katowice (AM) and Kungl. Musikhögskolan i Stockholm (KMH).
Our collaboration started at ICDS4 in Katowice during a meeting with all teachers of the European Eurhythmics Educations. In 2020 we wrote the application and got funding with 285.000 EUR over three years. The overall goal for this project is to strengthen the network between Eurhythmics Educations in Europe,university programs as well as programs run by Dalcroze Societies.
The material produced in the project will be published on a Digital platform with open access. We are also planning a Joint Master Program.
During this project student and teachers from the four schools have visited each other and worked together in eight themes:
1. Wien: Eurhythmics in inclusive and therapeutic settings
2. Wien: Eurhythmics in inclusive and therapeutic settings
3. Berlin: Relatedness of music and movemen
t4. Berlin: Concepts of rhythm
5. Katowice: Plastique animée – tradition and contemporary performing
6. Katowice: Composing music, composing movement
7. Stockholm: Eurhythmics in classroom setting and instrumental teaching
8. Stockholm: Listening movement
In the workshop some of the activities used in the project will be presented, and the participants will have the opportunity to participate actively through movement and singing. The digital platform will also be used in various ways, and the participants can explore the content via their personal phones and laptops. Finally, the workshop will include a discussion about networking and sharing knowledge. How can we as Eurhythmics teachers work together? And how can the different schools cooperate and grow stronger together?
