with Mie Neko

Let’s bring more surprise and dynamism into your transition practice. In this workshop, we will explore concepts that allow for sudden, visually striking transitions from one shape to another. Together, we will look at the turning points that make these movements feel smooth and intentional, how to identify positions that naturally enable dynamic changes, and how to create dramatic visual impact while maintaining safety and body awareness from a rope model perspective.

This workshop is intended for people who already have quite some experience with full suspension and transitions.
