Description
Coil & Cord Studio warmly welcomes visiting presenter Sassy Masochist as a special guest instructor to share her fantastic rope skills & rope teaching skills in New York City in November. Check out Sassy's other classes, too!
Description: Learn to build your own improvised shapes in rope, and then get them reliably into the air in suspension!
In this workshop, Sassy Masochist breaks down key elements of suspendable rope structures and teaches how to tie (and suspend!) without predefined patterns. Gain confidence in making changes to and beyond familiar forms. Participants will explore how to use these elements as building blocks to make ties suspendable. Participants will experiment with how to combine them to create our own forms that can fly! In this hands-on workshop, you will be able to practice creating ties from scratch or editing harnesses that you know to make them work best for the person in rope.
Prerequisites: The person tying should be comfortable with suspension and upline management and know a variety of suspension-worthy knots and frictions. The person in rope (being tied) should have a desire to be in suspension rope and the ability to communicate about body placements and positions that are best for them.
What to Bring: your suspension rope kit, a notebook and writing implement, your creativity, and a cutting tool.
Partnering: Hands-on participation in the workshop requires a tying partner, with one person tying and one person being tied. Solo attendees are welcome to partner up with another solo participant at the start of the workshop, but we cannot guarantee that solo attendees will be able to find a tying partner.
