About this Event
Description: This 3-hour, hands-on workshop is focused around how people at any level of their exploration with rope can integrate a connective approach and achieve a 'flow state' that significantly enhances their experience tying and/or being tied. While there will be an overview of technical skills (knots, frictions, etc.), this workshop emphasizes an applied approach that will enable participants to create dynamic, connective scenes no matter what their level of prior experience with rope is. Often called 'soft skills', the techniques taught are foundational and will include considerations around rope and body handling, nonverbal communication, sensory deprivation, and other elements that center the experience of why we endeavour to tie and be tied.
Although some of the techniques in this workshop can be practiced by self-tying, the primary focus is on creating dynamic partnered or group rope scenes and it is therefore recommended that you attend with someone you feel comfortable engaging in rope play with. If you are curious about this topic but will be attending solo, please reach out to [email protected] to discuss - we may be able to facilitate demo tops and/or bottoms if there is a need for it!
