BREATH IN MOTION

“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 to the voices within, articulating all our bodies have to offer.

Live Wire is an embodied ritual theatre investigation, rooted in the movement maps of 5Rhythms®, devoted to the shapeshifting nature of physical art, and guided by the vision of Lorca Simons, Gabrielle Roth, and artist Martha Peabody. Designed to inspire, refresh, re-set, and connect.
Our time together will include movement, creative excavations, collective truth-telling, and beauty-making.

All are welcome to join. No prior dance or 5Rhythms experience is necessary.

Lorca Simons is a certified 5Rhythms facilitator dedicated to the creation of physical theatre that is both interactive and transformative.
Following her instincts, she was drawn to the unique directing vibration of Gabrielle Roth, and a 19-year creative collaboration blossomed. She studied and trained with Gabrielle from the mid-’90s and became a co-founder and co-director of 5RT, the experimental theatre wing of the 5Rhythms world. Stepping into this realm with her expansive Texan feet, she collaborated on numerous original productions and international workshops.

Jup Jansonius is a certified 5Rhythms waves/heartbeat/God,Sex & the Body teacher and the DJ muse of this workshop.
Jup & Lorca  have known eachother for more than 20 years and have worked together live & online. Together they create a magical space in which your inner artist will be able to blossom & grow.

In response to Gabrielle Roth’s deep inquiry into what it means to be an authentic human being, Lorca created Live Wire 5Rhythms Theatre, a laboratory dedicated to the creation of physical theatre that is both interactive and transformative.

The 5Rhythms are an art form. Live Wire labs – including Breath in Motion, Roots, Electric Landscapes, Silhouette, Wing Span, Soul Threading, On The Verge, and Soul Revival – are rooted in a visionary and rigorous technique that invites 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.
