On Friday, October 17, 2008, 8:00 p.m., the Candlelight Reading Series celebrates the animal kingdom with ”Poems From the Zoo {with Eurythmy}” at Revelations, upstairs.

Melinda Waters, Raven Garland, Ed Noyes and Freddy Niagara Fonseca will recite and act out a selection of poems about animals. In addition, Raven will be performing eurythmy to some of the poetry.

Eurythmy is a movement art form initiated by Rudolf Steiner, founder of anthroposophy, as the art of visible speech and also song. It magically enlivens the etheric space we are part of, allowing both performer and audience to experience the deeper aspects of the poetry or music through specific gestures and movement. It works very well with poetry.

Free admission. Please come on time.
