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.

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.
