a classic article by British poet and movement educator Paul Matthews. In 1921 Fritz von Bothmer was asked by Rudolf Steiner to develop the gymnastic [movement] education at the first Waldorf School in Stuttgart. When Bothmer confessed to feeling somewhat inadequate for the task, Steiner simply advised him to ‘be happy’ in his work. That is what he did; and gradually he evolved a series of movement exercises for the children that continue to this day, throughout the world.
