Lorca met Gabrielle in 1993, and having recognised the artistic thread that bound them, they began a deep dive for 19 years investigating “the billion miles of unexplored wilderness between the head and feet” using theatre as their medium.

 

Together they created 5RT, the theatre wing of the 5Rhythms world, collaborating on numerous original productions, labs, and ritual theatre explorations including: "Tribe", an initiation into the power of rhythm and the rhythm of chaos, the driving beat of our time. An interactive. highly energised dynamic communion of performer and participant, drawing on all the theatrical forces —visuals, sounds, lights and beat. "Water Bearer’s Dream", a journey across the great waters of the heart embodying the collective and fundamental struggle inherent in becoming a mother. "Sole to Soul", a deep investigation into the stories of the feet, from our soles shoes. "Savage Love" an adaption of Sam Shepard and the late Joesph Chaikin's work.

​

Lorca and long time theatre companion Jonathan Horan are Co-directors of 5RT.

 

Lorca created “Love Letters to a Raven” in honour of Gabrielle Roth collaborating with her sister Lake Simons and ensemble.. "Love Letters" was preformed in the summer in 2019 at their family theatre Hip Pocket Theatre in Texas. Currently in further development  "Love Letters to a Raven will be produced at The Cherry Lane Theatre in New York City. 

 

Lorca is a certified 5Rhythms facilitator actively creating theatre internationally through a series of ‘Live Wire’ Ritual Theatre Labs: Breath in Motion, Roots, Electric Landscapes, Silhouette, Soul Threading and Wing Span.  

 

Lorca is committed to scattering the seeds of this transformative process “delivering one's self back to the artistic nature of the body, sculpting spirit into shape, soul into story, dancing mind into the wind and tracing the heart home.”
