Kate Reese Hurd is a resident of Philmont NY, long-time anthroposophist and graduated eurythmist with a background in music and literature, reciter of poetry since 2015 and writer of articles and reports on eurythmy and a manual of speech work exercises (alliterations and assonance) in relation to eurythmy. In her library for many years has been the work of Rudolf Steiner on the three domains of the social organism. One reason for her long-standing interest in the ‘social question’ is not just what she has perceived as unhealthy arrangements within the body-social generally, but also what she experienced personally as someone inclined toward working in several of the arts. One of her parents actively blocked her efforts to gain appropriate training. Why was this? – for fear that she might not be able to ‘support’ herself as a musician, artist or eurythmist. And this worry is quite right when facing social arrangements as they stand! But one thing her parent failed to grasp is Kate’s desire to work and to be productive no matter what – a healthy trait, artist or not!
