I've played the piano in Eurythmy classes for many years. Then I stopped because I got fed up with it. I still like Eurythmy though but don't want to work as an eurythmy accompanist anymore. I think that many Eurythmists don't know enough about music. music education in Eurythmy schools should be better. But maybe one day in the future I may find an eurythmist  I am able to play with as an equal partner like in chamber music...

Ok, to your question about the jobs. After you have finished your studies you may get a job as an Eurythmy teacher at a Waldorf school which is imo one of the hardest jobs at all if you're not a pedagogic supertalent. Because kids use to tie you into knots before you even can say hello...there are some stage jobs too but they are rare and you need to be really very good. Eurythmists often are poor and very idealistic.

correctly spelled "Eurythmy" invented by Rudolf Steiner(1861-1925)
An art of movement that aims  "to speak and sing through movements and gestures that reveal to the eye what language and music bring to the ear. The movements of the eurythmist relate to the space around and can vary from simple hand gestures to whole body movements. The elegance of the larynx is extended to whole-body movement. For this reason eurythmy is an original artistic movement discipline rather than a dance form.

Eurythmy answers the riddle, what does language and music actually look like? What our ears could previously only hear, we can now see in eurythmy. What is only heard is partly hidden. Language and music are made visible in eurythmy: as in the ear, so also in the eye. When eurythmy is at its best, we may see far more than we hear. Now we can see what the words look like, and watch an octave blossom through the medium of human gesture."
