This is a suspension level class exploring static forms from a technical perspective. Through in depth guided instruction and hands-on practice we will examine the artistry and function of commonly seen static shapes. Emphasis will be placed on creative expression, sustainability in suspension, and awareness of safety and risk considerations. Students will refine their rope handling, tension, control, precision, and flow, while continuing to build the scaffolding of their rope technique. Those in rope will be guided through body awareness considerations and styles of bottoming
and communication, with the goal of tailoring each exercise perfectly to each pair. This workshop is an ultra-nerdy deep dive into the how and why of rope technique.

Things to bring:

  • A full suspension kit

Prerequisites:

Experience building suspendible harnesses, ability to build and manage multiple uplines in static suspension, confident in rope communication skills, knowledge of safety and risk in rope Bottom
prerequisites: confident in-rope communication skills, knowledge of safety and risk in rope, confident ability to monitor and communicate signs of nerve compression This workshop is best suited for partners who have tied together previously

About the Instructors:

Sydona she/her

In March of 2018 Sydona (she/her) found her way into the NYC kink scene and never looked back. Since then, she's immersed herself into honing her rope practice, perhaps obsessively. She currently works full time as a nightlife performer, bondage artist, photographer, creator, and facilitator. In these past several years she's traveled both within the U.S. and internationally for rope opportunities, as a performer, as a student, and more recently as an educator. Previous to 2020, Syd trained and worked as a professional modern and contemporary dancer, a background she takes great pride in. With over thirteen years of experience as a movement artist, next to seven years of dedicated Shibari education, Sydona brings a unique, fluid, and delightfully sadistic perspective to this form.

Foley she/her

Foley (she/her) is a Brooklyn-born multi-disciplinary artist. When it comes to rope, she’s a bottom-leaning switch with a focus on bottom education. Both her dance and craft backgrounds play important roles in the way she approaches rope on both sides of the slash.
