with Gestalta
You don’t need complex suspensions or advanced techniques to create powerful, emotionally rich rope scenes. This workshop is all about exploring what’s possible on the ground - with a focus on simplicity, movement, and sensuality.
Using a combination of body handling techniques and ties that are designed to be not only functional, but also easy and fluid to apply, we'll explore a variety of floor based shapes & sequences that you can integrate into your rope scenes.
You’ll explore:
Simple, adaptable ties, shapes & sequences for floor play
Ways to create engagement, tension, and emotion through tying
Communication techniques within a scene
How to adjust intensity — from gentle and sensual to more challenging
(Optional) straight forward partial suspension elements for those ready to add a little lift
This workshop is suitable for anyone who is already familiar with rope fundamentals: e.g. single & double column tie, wrapping, frictions, & rope handling. No suspension experience is required.
