GATHER: KANSAS, USA
GATHER: A 5RHYTHM LIVE WIRE RITUAL THEATRE LAB
Lorca Simons & DJ Muse Laura Martin-Eagle
Calling in what your Body needs to Gather
Letting out what your Heart needs to Express
Dropping down what your Mind needs to Release
Lifting up what your Soul needs to Encourage
Finding what your Spirit Finds True
When creating Live Wire I wanted to evoke a current of electric shape shifting unpredictability, mapping experiences fuelled by the souls hungry for an intimate sliver of the poetic landscape at the root and heart of our 5Rhythms practice. A place to disappear into your true self one body part at a time. Our ritual theatre wing is a dynamic, raw, experimental base where anything is possible and an ever changing global ensemble of dancers, DJ’s, teachers, artists and humans can explore. We manifest change, offering ourselves and our stories from that deep alive place inside, that precious vulnerable electric landscape of unpredictable possibility that lives and breathes in our bones. We invite a creative way of experiencing life from the artistic nature of the body.”

Lorca SimonsEvent MemberLorca is a certified 5Rhythms facilitator dedicated to the creation of physical theatre that is both interactive and transformative.
She was born and raised in Texas where she grew up in her father’s experimental theatre company Hip Pocket Theatre. As an artistic associate she has been involved in producing original works for 47 years. A graduate of The University of North Carolina School of the Arts theatre conservatory. Educated in both experimental and traditional theatre. She has blazed through productions in New York City from Off Broadway to fringe, as well as television and film.
Lorca 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 and a co-director of 5RT, the experimental theatre wing of the 5Rhythms world, a place she stepped into with her expansive Texan feet, collaborating on numerous original productions and international workshops. 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 theater that is both interactive and transformative. Live Wire labs: Breath in Motion, Roots, Electric Landscapes, Silhouette, Wing Span, Soul Threading, Live Wire and On The Verge are 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.
She is committed to scattering the seeds of this transformative process.
“I believe in the healing power of theatre. I believe in a theatre of heart, one that feeds and fuels the soul. A theatre that brings change, mirroring landscapes lost or left behind, one that exposes life from the deepest core of its being. One that expands imagination through curiosity, breath, physical gesture, and space. From this place of truth, ritual springs into authentic action and anything is possible.” -Lorca
