Join us for a day devoted to the healing power of expression. Hosted at the historic Hip Pocket Theatre, this deeply rooted exploration of embodied poetry + creative investigation will take place under a vast open Texas sky.
"An eruption of soul straight from the heart,
Fueling your spirit & ripping edges wide
The magic of theatre begins here."
-- Lorca Simons
No experience required, all bodies + voices are welcome.
Come expand your imagination, magnify your curiosity and illuminate your breath in the beat.
Awaken and sharpen those places in yourself that need rewiring, recharging and realigning back to what is most original and true.
Let’s dance, utilizing the poetry of the body as our spring board for theatrical expression. Illuminate language, uncover gesture and free the mind, expanding into an ensemble of limitless possibility.
In response to Gabrielle Roth’s investigation into what it means to be an authentic human being, Lorca is dedicated to the creation of physical theatre that is both interactive and transformative. Offering labs rooted in a visionary and rigorous technique for people to become true “athletes of the heart.” Live Wire ritual theatre expands the imagination through curiosity, breath, physical gesture and space. Performance art in the raw, rooted in the real.
Curiosity. Commitment. Soul.
We will meet you there.
-- Lorca Simons

ABOUT LORCA SIMONS | 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 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, 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.
