About this event
This event will take place at The Rope Collective Studio in Barrio Logan, San Diego. Visit the Contact + Location tab of our website for studio access information.
EVENT DETAILS:
Part of our Core Curriculum and the second part of our “Floor Series”! In this class, we will review the foundations and soft skills before diving into getting rope around the body, restricting movement, and moving the body around on the floor. This is designed to deepen your understanding of how to effectively wrap and attach body parts using rope. We will explore the nuances of moving a person who is tied, because they usually can’t move themselves! We will also go over hands-on techniques for adjusting and securing ties, ensuring that movement is both safe and sustainable.
These techniques are highly recommended to begin the third part of our series.
Prerequisite Classes:
No Required Prerequisites (although "Floor Series: Rope Handling" highly recommended, not required)
Required Foreknowledge:
Basic knowledge of foundations/ soft skills including: informed consent, negotiation, aftercare
Basic Safety risk knowledge including nerve impingement and loss of circulation.
(If any of these terms are unfamiliar please sign up for our "Foundations of Rope" class. )

Wear clothing that allows you to feel comfortable, empowered or expressive.
