WALDORF

Kid Italy and Clark Steiner both grew up and enjoyed educational backgrounds in an environment based on a common philosophy of the Austrian scientist and educator Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) and his "Waldorf" schools around the world; a philosophy also known as Anthroposophy (i.e. wisdom of the human being), in which the heightened capacities of thinking, feeling and willing are seen as key to unlocking enormous potential.
They both met in the mid 90s in Italy and formed a band. Hence the name Waldorf. Inspired by Rudolf Steiner's philosophy, the Milan-based duo create perpetually unique performances with specially designed costumes and custom-built electronic instruments, where the two "disco knights follow their quest to find the Disghost", accompanied by other characters (fairies and goblins) of their imagination on stage:
The World Of Waldorf is born.
In using elements of anthroposophical studies as with the case of the dance-ritual called Eurethmy it is sometimes unclear whether the band is making fun of it's own bizarre world or just using it as inspirational tools. A question the duo can't really answer since they grew up solely in this environment. In any case these elements combined with influences of todays Zeitgeist make their "world" exciting and unique.
