A class dedicated to adapting harnesses and suspensions for more fluid motions; and theory on dramatising rope for viewing while still being present with each other.

• • Narratives in rope

• • Quick release up lines and lock offs

• • Variations on familiar harnesses for quicker tying

• • What to think about for performances

Recommended items:

-6-8 lengths of rope

-Safety sheers

-Suspension ring

Prerequisites:

We will expect participants to know how to fully suspend from structural harnesses both rigger and model are familiar with. We will also expect models/bottoms to be comfortable in suspension and know how to assess nerve/circulation issues.
