Tying with people bigger than ourselves – or getting tied by people smaller who might not be able to move us easily – can feel daunting. This workshop gives you practical tools to tie confidently with significant size or strength differences. While designed for smaller riggers and bigger bottoms, these principles of leverage and body mechanics are useful for anyone who wants to tie more sustainably and efficiently, regardless of your size.

“The Spiritual Mechanism” is a unique approach to dance and self discovery that integrates western movement analyses focusing on the visible, and Butoh to explore the invisible, the subtle, what is behind the movement and generates it.

Breathe. Shift your balance. Walk, weave, occupy the space—and disappear. Now, do it all with your partner, a rope, and the magic of movement. In this workshop, we’ll transform into an organic system: unpredictable yet beautifully organised, learning to move freely and naturally within the ropes.
Body handling as a skill is sometimes overshadowed by rope technique, yet it can be what distinguishes a good session from a great one. The ability to move safely and with confidence is more than just the act of "physically relocating" body parts: It can expand your creative options and allows the expression of intent when tying, as the manner in which a person is moved can evoke a wide range of emotional responses and invite engagement.
Elemental Forces: Explore how Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether enhance the structure, mood, and intention of rope scenes on the floor and in the air.
A movement framework to understand and build narrative within rope scenes via rope handling, harnesses and transitions.
