5Rhythms® is a dynamic movement meditation practice - a workout for body and soul, and a map for awakening and embodying our creative capacity to meet all that life brings. There are no steps to follow in this improvisational movement methodology. Instead, we show up, tune in and move what is alive in us.
Dancing the 5Rhythms can be fun, meditative, transformative, and healing. We have the opportunity to step into a sandbox where we can play with different embodiment tools that support us to express a wider spectrum of our aliveness.
In this workshop we will explore the 5Rhythms through the metaphors, magic, and essential qualities of each of the elements. We will find Earth through Flowing, ignite Staccato through Fire, dive into Water’s Chaos, lighten up Lyrical through Air, and enter the spaciousness of Stillness through Ether.
“The 5Rhythms are a map to everywhere you want to go, on all planes of consciousness – inner and outer, forward and back, physical, emotional, and intellectual. They are markers on the way back to a real self, a vulnerable, wild, passionate, instinctive self.” - Gabrielle Roth
SOUL REVIVAL: A LIVE WIRE EXPERIMENT UNEARTHED
WITH LORCA SIMONS & SCOTT HOUSTON
Let’s gather to whisper and circle from the ground our rites of restoration.
Let’s stand and shout to rally the forces that revitalize 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 soar 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 and 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.
