GATHER – a LIVE WIRE lab with Lorca Simons & DJ muse Susanne Nilsson

The Live Wire 5Rhythms® Ritual Theatre Wing is a dynamic artistic practice, global community, and creative home devoted to the transformative power of the expression of the spirit in all things. Rooted in the movement maps of 5Rhythms®, we have cultivated an evolving body of original laboratories, theatre performances, and creative explorations. This awakens imagination, deepens presence, and reveals the poetry of the moving body. Guided by the visionary work of Gabrielle Roth, Lorca Simons and artist Martha Peabody, the Theatre Wing continues to shape a unique language of movement, ensemble, and embodied storytelling—creating spaces where art becomes awareness-awareness becomes action-and the body remembers its deepest creative intelligence. Live Wire laboratories are designed to inspire, refresh, reset, and reconnect. Together we'll move, create, excavate, tell the truth, and make beauty. Through movement, creative explorations, collective truth-telling, and beauty-making, we'll journey beneath the surface, listening for what longs to emerge and remembering that movement becomes meaning, presence becomes possibility, and every body carries stories waiting to be danced. Lorca Simons is the Artistic Director of the Live Wire 5Rhythms® Ritual Theatre Wing, devoted to the creation of embodied ritual theatre that is both interactive and transformative. Her work explores the meeting place of conscious movement, ritual theatre, and embodied artistry, awakening embodied intelligence and the visionary imagination of the soul. She creates revolutionary theatre that dissolves the fourth wall—and all the walls that separate us. For more than three decades, Lorca has been creating original embodied theatre experiences throughout the world, cultivating spaces where art becomes ritual, presence becomes an art form, and dance becomes a living prayer. An internationally certified 5Rhythms® facilitator, Lorca is devoted to the shape-shifting beauty of ensemble and to the fertile meeting place of the healing and creative arts. Through movement, imagination, and embodied storytelling, she invites people to awaken their unique creative voice and step more fully into the poetry, mystery, and intelligence of the body. Lorca creates original theatre in 5Rhythms communities around the world. Her work honours the extraordinary creative potential within every body and is dedicated to scattering the seeds of this transformative process wherever she travels. Returning us to the artistic nature of the body—sculpting spirit into shape, soul into story, dancing the mind into the wind, and tracing the heart home.
