OPIS

Lorca Simons & DJ Muse Laura Martin-Eagle 

Calling in what your Body needs to Gather

Letting out what your Heart needs to Express

Dropping down what your Mind needs to Release

Lifting up what your Soul needs to Encourage

Finding what your Spirit Finds True

When creating Live Wire I wanted to evoke a current of electric shape shifting unpredictability, mapping experiences fuelled by the souls hungry for an intimate sliver of the poetic landscape at the root and heart of our 5Rhythms practice. A place to disappear into your true self one body part at a time. Our ritual theatre wing is a dynamic, raw, experimental base where anything is possible and an ever changing global ensemble of dancers, DJ’s, teachers, artists and humans can explore. We manifest change, offering ourselves and our stories from that deep alive place inside, that precious vulnerable electric landscape of unpredictable possibility that lives and breathes in our bones. We invite a creative way of experiencing life from the artistic nature of the body.”

The 5Rhythms are an art form. Application and vision are one and the same from an artistic perspective, both evoking creative expansion which is at the root of our practice. The beauty of the 5Rhythms from a theatre perspective is, that we have the opportunity to mirror life, absorbing every morsel of its offerings and giving it all back to the dance over and over again.

In living this practice we embody all the rhythms through every breath we take, through every offering we make. Each gesture being an extension from our body, heart, mind, soul and spirit. A poetic landscape of offering. A free fall, a footfall, a live response to what is happening in us, around us and universally.

We as artists manifest change, offering ourselves and our stories from that deep live wire place inside each of us. A vulnerable electric landscape of unpredictable possibility that lives and breathes inside our bones helping others feel deeply, truthfully, with faith, humor, love and trust.

We invite a creative way of experiencing life from the artistic nature of the body.

With all my heart & soul, 

Lorca
