A 5Rhythms® Live wire experiment unearthed
with Lorca Simons (USA)
Rooted in the Waves Map with live, interactive and in-the-moment explorations, all in a grounded, safe container, Lorca Simons is a master practitioner of 5Rhythms Ritual Theatre. With Meredith and David in support as DJs, this dance and theatre workshop is a gateway to your deeper self. An invitation to expand your dance and explore embodiment. It’s not about acting or being something other than you are. This workshop explores the expression of your true self.
Set your compass for the unpredictable come and be prepared for individual and collective fascination, radical unity and edgy grace. We are investigating what it is to be human. We are dancing, breathing, being. We are soulful, alive resources for creative action. We are storytellers. Theatre is a tool. It is not designed to frighten, it is utilised to discover. Unplug your head and drop into your body. We will meet you there.
If you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself. Movement is both the medicine and the metaphor. Gabrielle Roth
"Don’t let the word “theatre” scare you – it is not an acting workshop! Trust me, you will dance, you will move and you will be moved." - Adam Eisen
Lorca Simons
Lorca is dedicated to the creation of physical theatre that is both interactive and transformative, creating revolutionary theatre that dissolves the fourth wall…….and all the walls that separate us.
She followed her instincts to the unique directing vibration known as Gabrielle Roth and a 19 year creative collaboration bloomed. She studied and trained with Gabrielle from the mid-90’s and was a co-founder/co-director of 5RT, the experimental theatre wing of the 5Rhythms world.
In response to Gabrielle Roth’s investigation into what it means to be an authentic human being Lorca created Live Wire 5Rhythms Theatre, which is dedicated to the creation of physical theatre that is both interactive and transformative. Live Wire is rooted in a visionary and rigorous technique for people to become true “athletes of the heart” exploring and investigating the depths of the human spirit. Lorca is committed to scattering the seeds of this transformative process.
"Lorca’s presence was palpable. Her expressive grace and poetic power were electric. - Layah
