5Rhythms Facilitator and Live Wire Artistic Director

“An intimate sliver of the poetic landscape at the root and heart of our practice.”
~ Lorca Simons
The spirit may be willing but the flesh and voice are sometimes tongue-tied.
Yet the spirit longs to break the silence and speak from the deepest Live Wire place within us.
What words express your current state of being?
How does the voice move within the shapes of the body?
How do those physical shapes breathe?
In this lab we will create a stage for the spirit within to manifest.
Theatrical. Articulate.
An embodied language that expands our creative potential and opens the door of those voices within, articulating all our bodies have to offer.
✥
The beauty of the 5Rhythms® practice from a theatre perspective is having the opportunity to reflect life, absorbing every morsel of its offering and gifting it back to the dance over and over again.
In living this practice as artists we embody the rhythms through every breath we take, through every offering we make. Each gesture being an extension from our body, heart, mind, soul and spirit. A POETIC landscape of offering.
A free fall, a footfall, a live response to what is happening in us around us and universally.
As artists we manifest change offering ourselves and our stories from that Live Wire place deep inside our creative centre; that ELECTRIC landscape of unpredictable possibility that lives and breathes inside our bones.
Evoking a creative way of seeing and experiencing life from the artistic nature of the body is the place I want to live and breathe in and out of forever.
I’ll meet you here with all my heart and soul.

“Gabrielle entrusted Lorca with the continuation of her 5Rhythms Ritual Theatre Vision.
Live Wire was born to keep that legacy in motion.”
~ Martha Peabody
Lorca Simons 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 Producing Artistic Director she has been involved in the creation of original works for 50 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, retreats and international workshops. In response to Gabrielle Roth’s investigation into what it means to be an authentic human being Lorca is the artistic director of Live Wire 5Rhythms Theatre which is dedicated to the creation of physical theatre that is both interactive and transformative. Live Wire labs: Breath in Motion, Roots, Electric Landscapes, Silhouette, Wing Span, Soul Threading, Gather, On The Verge and Soul Revival 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.
