Let’s gather to whisper and circle from the ground our rites of restoration.
Let’s stand and shout to rally the forces that revitalise our spirited dreams into creative realities.
Let’s surrender our bones to the beat that can hold it all and regenerate our faith in the mystery.
Let’s deliver our stories from the heart of the feet to resurrect the light and shadows that seep, shine and soars through us.
Let’s invite spirit to be our barometer and witness in this exploration and celebration of what it means to be soulfully revived.
Rooted in the Waves Map with live, interactive and in the moment explorations in a grounded container, and concentrated in 5Rhythms Ritual Theater perspectives Lorca & Scott, in renaissance, will invoke this dynamic practice’s principal: If you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself. Movement is both the medicine and the metaphor. Setting your compass for the unpredictable come and be prepared for individual and collective fascination, radical unity and edgy grace.
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 and artist Martha Peabody. Designed to inspire, refresh, re-set and connect. Our time will include movement, creative excavations, collective truth-telling and beauty-making.
This workshop counts as 1 day of Waves, and 2 days of Electives towards the Teacher Training. All are welcome to join. No prior dance or 5Rhythms experience is necessary.

TEACHER BIOS
Lorca Simons is dedicated to the creation of physical theatre that is both interactive and transformative. She 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/co-director of 5RT, the experimental theatre wing of the 5Rhythms world.
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 theatre that is both interactive and transformative. Live Wire is 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 is committed to scattering the seeds of this transformative process.

In nearly 15 years of utilizing dance as a healing modality, Scott Houston has come to believe in the inherent wisdom of the body and the power of sound to move it. Scott produces & facilitates events that are truly an open path to healing through a communion with the embodied self.
Scott boasts a uniquely diverse range of sonic capacity that spans across all musical genres, masterfully being able to weave any dance-floor from stillness to climax & all the way back down into the deepest states of bliss + contemplation.
Because of this, Scott is known regionally as the go-to sonic-curator for intentional movement-spaces of all kinds as well as truly unique, high-vibrational community experiences.
As an Atlanta based artist & DJ – Scott is known for his collaborative mindset & appearances at regional festivals, as well as local events, parties, rooftops, warehouses, and gatherings all over the city - specifically through his residency with the chic underground music collective Project B. As such, Scott has had the privilege of vibe-setting for a variety of artists including: Acid Pauli, Mihigh, Gescu, Arapu, Viken Arman, Varhat, Janaret, Bobi Stevkovski & Yoko0.
