Rudolf Steiner had a number of things to say about humor from a spiritual scientific
standpoint and its significance for humanity. What is not so very well known is that
he drew humorous cartoons. In this two-hour introduction to the theme of humor
we will share some of Steiner’s thoughts on humor, hear various comic antic dotes,
see some of his caricature sketches and draw some cartoons of our own.
Come prepared with a black pencil or pen and paper, as well as your favorite Anthro- jokes.
Fees:
25 USD/1950 INR
Please feel free to pay more or less; this session is donation-based.
