An investigation of soul through the body.
A single thread is cast through space, invoking emptiness
- a basket is placed full of blank pages, waiting for whispers and entrances.
The unraveling - the revealing tale of the hips, the
feet, the head, the hands, and the breath- an unveiling of truths discovered
through the 5Rhythms, one body part at a time.
We will write, wonder and weather our way through light
and shadow, footfalls and silences, creating the Ritual Theater of your/our
stories detailed soulfulness.
Sculpting spirit into shape, writing soul into story,
dancing mind into the wind and tracing the heart home.
Furious dancing, mysterious humor and indelible visuals
may occur.
"When creating Live Wire I wanted to evoke a current
of electric shape shifting unpredictability that is both spontaneous and
mysterious. To create an experience fueled by many souls hungry for an intimate
sliver of the poetic landscape that is at the root and heart of our
practice." Lorca
Live Wire is a 'plug in' to creative action, an
opportunity to reawakening and sharpen those places in ourselves that need
realigning or perhaps rewiring back to what’s most original and true.
Lorca Simons is dedicated to the creation of physical
theatre that is both interactive and transformative. Lorca was born and raised
in Texas where she grew up in her father’s experimental theatre company Hip
Pocket. A graduate of The University of North Carolina School of the Arts
theatre conservatory before moving to New York City. Educated in both
experimental and traditional theatre. She has blazed through productions 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.
Lorca 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 has stepped into with her expansive Texan feet first collaborating
on numerous original productions, workshops, and ritual theatre explorations.
Lorca is a Certified 5Rhythms® Teacher actively creating
theatre internationally through a series of LIVE WIRE Ritual Theatre Labs:
Breath in Motion, Roots, Electric Landscapes, and Soul Threading. She is
currently developing an original piece of theatre titled “Love Letters to a
Raven” as well as sourcing mainstream projects.
Lorca is committed to scattering the seeds of this
transformative process “delivering one's self back to the artistic nature of
the body, sculpting spirit into shape, soul into story, dancing mind into the wind
and tracing the heart home.”
