Live Wire is an embodied ritual theatre investigation, grounded in the movement maps of 5Rhythms®, devoted to the shapeshifting nature of physical art, and guided by the vision of Lorca Simons and Gabrielle Roth. Designed to inspire, refresh, re-set and connect. Our time will include movement, creative excavations, collective truth-telling and beauty-making.
Delivering one’s self back to the artistic nature of the body. Sculpting spirit into shape,
Writing soul into story, Dancing mind into the wind and tracing the heart home.
The beauty of our practice, from a theatrical perspective, lies in the opportunity to reflect life—absorbing all its richness and offering it back to the dance, again and again.
REFLECT
In living this practice as artists we embody the rhythms through every breath we take, through every offering we make. Each gesture an extension of our body, heart, mind, soul & spirit.
RHYTHM
Evoking a creative way of seeing and experiencing life from the artistic nature of the body.
REAL
As artists we manifest change offering ourselves and our stories from that Live Wire place inside our creative centre.
RITUAL
The electric landscape of un-predictable possibility that lives and breathes inside our bones.
ROOTS
The electric landscape of un-predictable possibility that lives and breathes inside our bones.

LOCATION
Lorca Simons
5Rhythms® teacher from Texas (US)

Lorca 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 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, 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. Lorca offers global 1:1 sessions in the zoom wing as well as soulful Sunday pop-ups in collaboration with international artists and dancing communities around the world. She is committed to scattering the seeds of this transformative process.
Thierry François
5Rhythms® teacher from France/Croatia

Thierry has been dancing since a very early age, beginning with ballet lessons when he was a kid, pursuing theater in his 20s in order to express himself and share his inspiration with others, all the while perfecting himself through numerous practices such as dancing, mime and clown work. He is also a certified and experienced Gestalt therapist. In the early 2000s, he came across 5Rhythms and it enabled him to finally integrate body work into his practice. In 2010, he completed 5Rhythms teachers training with Gabrielle Roth, Waves level, and is currently training for the Heartbeat level with Jonathan Horan. He is also committed to working with men's groups, through ManKind Project. His unique way of teaching is the result of all these different aspects which he brings into his work with great enthusiasm, communicating his passion in a creative, easygoing and humorous way.
