New York
For 20+ years, the streets of New York City have been Gabrielle & Jonathan's laboratory, daily community, and the inspiration that is the 5Rhythms body of work and vision.
Our NYC teachers service the dynamic, diverse and dedicated tribe you could expect to make their way onto our dancefloors here. It provides a refuge of rhythm for those who are hungry to maintain a real self within the creative pulse, urban edge, and tribal soul of Manhattan. There is no more exciting place on earth, as it perfectly mirrors the complexity and challenges we face when we look within. Our NYC offerings of daily classes, short and long form workshops are available to dance you through all levels of the 5Rhythms every year.

HEARTBEAT
A 3 Day 5RHYTHMS® Heartbeat™ level weekend in NYC with SYLVIE MINOT
Our bodies hold stories, our head makes up stories, and our hearts feel these stories. Can we access our hearts (and emotions) without giving the stories too much power?
In this 3-day workshop, we weave the 5Rhythms with our emotions, calling on our elemental allies of earth, fire, water, air, and ether to guide us on this journey.
Flowing: Fear & Courage - What if we could move fear from our chest like sand in an hourglass dripping down to the earth until nothing is left?
Staccato: Anger & Forgiveness - What if we could feel anger for anger's sake--how would the flames dance?
Chaos: Sadness & Surrender - Could water flush sadness from our hearts and make it dance like a river?
Lyrical: Joy & Generosity - Could joy give us wings to fly?
Stillness: Compassion & Service - Experience the profound connection that emerges when we move in stillness.
The Journey
The Purpose of the 5Rhythms Heartbeat™ map is to release the heart from its history – the old feelings locked in our bodies – beginning to shake them loose and release an expanded emotional maturity and spontaneity.
By separating our emotions from our stories, the stories become our history, and our emotions are free to move and dance. By connecting and moving with our emotions, giving them voice and shapes, we unlock the heart and release its limitless power to heal.
The Approach
The body is the gateway to the heart and mind. All you have to be willing to do is move. Our approach to the heart is kindness, and non-judgment. It is our goal to create a safe environment for every individual.
As we become comfortable with allowing and expressing feelings, neither getting attached nor denying them, we discover how to transform the energies of the heart and the power of a heart fully able to feel and respond with love.
Welcome!

LIVE WIRE - HALLOWEEN 2025
Saints, Sinners, Souls and the Faithful Walk the Wire
EMERGE AND DISSOLVE INTO THE MYSTERY.
Set your compass for the unpredictable, be prepared for individual and collective fascination, radical unity and edgy grace. Embodied ritual theatre grounded in movement and devoted to the shapeshifting nature of physical art.
An urban blissful surrender with Lorca & Peter
~~~
Live Wire is plug in to creative action. An invitation to reawaken and sharpen those places in ourselves that need realigning or perhaps rewiring back to what’s most original and true. In these Live Wire laboratories we illuminate language, uncover gesture and free the mind through theatrical investigation. Unlocking the stories our bodies are longing to tell. Unplugging the head and putting the beat in our feet. Turning suffering into art, art into awareness and awareness into action.
In response to Gabrielle Roth’s investigation into what it means to be an authentic human being Live Wire is dedicated to the creation of physical theater that is both interactive and transformative. Revolutionary theater that dissolves the fourth wall.......and all the walls that separate us.
Join us in this poetic landscape as we come together to nourish ourselves and each other, creating an ensemble rooted in aliveness, returning to wonder and recharging possibility.
