Lead by Mr O with assistance from toy or ropeybunny or both
When it comes to performance, technical skill or challenging positions are often not enough to captivate our audience. Especially when we are in front of people with little rope knowledge or experience, the details and nuance of our ties may not be appreciated. If we want to create a memorable experience, we need to plan and practice for it.
This interactive workshop focuses specifically on performance skills, mostly non-technical in nature. We start with general concepts around knowing our audience, planning our scene and telling a story through our tie. Then we move to specifics around movement, tempo, interaction, and positioning. These topics cover various types of performance, from spontaneous improvisation to tightly choreographed, and all with the specific intent of creating audience engagement and interest. As many of us perform where there will be photos or videos taken, we will also discuss some tips and tricks for helping photographers capture us.
There are no specific technical prerequisites for this class, suspension experience is not required.
Each pair should be prepared to demonstrate a short performance tie in front of the group, and receive feedback. These do not need to be pre planned or rehearsed, and should be well within the skill level of the pair.
Price is per tying pair. If you are a self-tier looking to work on similar skills, please reach out to us and we can recommend teachers with those skills.
