Requirements: Ability to follow instructions / ask questions. Be able to tie a single column
Materials:
- 2-3 pieces of rope (any kind) at least 25’ long (there will be rope available to use.)
- Safety cutters (either knife or scissors) - (will also have available.)
- Partner Required for this class. (everyone’s welcome to sit in, there’s not really any way to tie this on yourself though.)
Class Time: approximately 45 minutes
Lab Time: to fill in remainder of scheduled event
**
Class will cover an in depth discussion on the following : why do we tie; what do we tie with; how to negotiate a rope scene; consent (including underlying power dynamics stated or implied); safety issues and how to handle them; physical issues and nerve/circulation information specific to tying (PDF will be available upon request,) and any other information that comes up during the discussion (questions are welcome and encouraged!)
The hands on portion of the class will cover different ways to handle the rope itself; maintain or change tension to control the rope, the person being tied, and affect the scene as a whole; and how flow can work in a rope scene using those two concepts.
Lab time afterwards will be available for attendees to practice, ask questions, and get feedback/pointers as needed. Ideally, everyone will leave the event with at least a basic understanding of the class materials.
