Techniques In Tying: Intermediate Series Workshop
Description
This 3-part series is designed for those who feel confident with single/double columns and are ready for more complexity. Classes will focus on functional rather than decorative patterns, emphasizing the techniques needed for creating stable ties and understanding how components interact. Those tying will learn how to incorporate play and body manipulation to dive deeper into creating connected, intentional scenes. Those being tied will learn assessment skills necessary to evaluate stamina and strength in a variety of positions and shapes. Upon completing this series, students will be prepared for nuanced conversations on individual risk profiles and strategic thinking on pattern construction.
In order to benefit from this class, those tying should be able to confidently use a non-collapsing single column and double column tie, use simple frictions like munters and half-hitches, and understand how and when to use forward versus reverse tension. Those being tied should be comfortable stating their rope style preferences and communicating their physical and emotional experiences while in rope.
These classes are crafted for partnered learning; attendees need to sign up in pairs. Tying pairs must commit to all classes in the series. Prerequisites, gear requirements, and expectations are outlined on the ticketing page. Class dates are 3/15, 4/19, and 5/17 from 11am to 2pm.
