WINGSPAN ~ LIVE WIRE ~ SEATTLE ~ Led by Lorca Simons & Joanne Winstanley

An eruption of soul straight from the heart,

Fueling the spirit & tearing edges wide

The magic of theatre begins here…

We will drop our heads,

deepen our dive into our bodies.

Allowing our breath, our stories, our

connection as an ensemble to guide

our weekend. We will dance, write,

create theatre and fall in love.

Everything else is a mystery waiting in the

wings of your curiosity.

Come spread your wings, free your mind, expand your imagination, magnify your curiosity, and illuminate your breath in the beat.

Awaken and sharpen those places in yourself that need a rewire, recharge, a realigning back to what is most original and true.

We will meet you there.

Lorca & Joanne

Friday June 23 ~ 7 to 9:30pm

Saturday June 24 ~ noon to 5pm

The culmination of Gabrielle Roth’s investigation into what it means to be an authentic human being, Live Wire 5Rhythms Theater 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."

With live, interactive, in-the-moment explorations in a grounded container, and concentrated in 5Rhythms Ritual Theater perspectives, we will invoke this dynamic practice’s principle: 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.

About Lorca:

Lorca 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.

About Joanne:

Joanne teaches 5Rhythms with a deep respect for the transformational nature of this practice, for the insight that this practice can bring to our daily lives, and for the unique discovery process of each participant. Her teaching is rooted in a lifelong engagement with her own study and personal work. Since 2001, she has held a steady space for the growth and evolution of a robust dance community in Victoria BC, and has shared her love of this practice with students across North America.

About 5Rhythms:

https://www.5rhythms.com

Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms is a philosophy, perspective, performance art and a dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put psyche in motion it will heal itself. Movement is both the medicine and the metaphor, reaching across all languages, cultures and age groups to transform the suffering into art, art into awareness, awareness into action.

Wherever the 5Rhythms are practiced, a community is born to dance, to sweat, to change, to support, and to provide a safe space for each of us to shatter the ego’s hold and awaken the juicy, unpredictable, fascinating, edge-walking, rock star part of ourselves that yearns to be free.
