Chingon_Cuerdas & ADelightfulPain's Workshops
Diamonds Are Forever - Chingon Cuerdas
Introduction to hishi-pattern concepts. So you know a couple knots, frictions, and hitches. You’ve already got some basic harness/tie structure down. Now what!? We can begin playing with the structures that make up some of our favorite ties and create a whole new look, yet maintain their structural integrity. Through exploring a new pattern logic attendees will learn a finer control of tension, rope handling, and aesthetics. We’ll also cover some interesting tips on how the placement of frictions can be used for pressure point play.
*Hands On - Intermediate/Advanced*
*Requirements: A non-collapsing single-column cuff, understanding of basic frictions (reverse tension, half-hitch, munter-hitch), 3 to 5 8-meter lengths of rope (natural fiber preferred). *
Double-Column Deep Dive - Chingon Cuerdas
Easy to learn, yet deceptively nuanced. Together we’ll take a deeper look at the double-column tie. Through a variety of exercises we’ll develop a sensitivity to placement and tension on different body parts and positionings as well as applications for play and creativity.
*Hands On - Skill level: Beginner/Intermediate*
*Required Gear: (2-3) 25-30ft lengths of natural fiber rope*
Quick One Rope Bondage - Chingon Cuerdas
What can you do with a single piece of rope? Quite a lot actually. Using a single piece of rope we will use simple techniques to restrain our partners and create opportunities for various types of play. Also covered will be ways of applying the rope to our partners to communicate our mood or intention of a session.
*Hands On - All Levels*
*Requirements: A single 25-30 ft length of rope. A non-collapsing single or double column cuff.*
Rope Handling and Body Mechanics: Perilous Partials - Chingon Cuerdas
This class will cater to those who wish to begin introducing gravity into their play. Partials can be a new element to expand creativity in your scene. Concepts will be introduced for developing logics for poses and on-the-fly thinking needed before entering suspension. We’ll discuss how attachment points on ties can affect angles and stresses on the body as well as quick, efficient, and safe(r) upline management. Depending on time we will go through 1-2 predicament partial sequences.
*Hands On - Intermediate*
*Requirements: 8-12 natural fiber ropes 25-30 ft. Suspension Equipment such as a ring or climbing grade carabiners. A non-collapsing single column cuff, a solid suspension worthy TK or chest harness that can be lifted from multiple points, and a good understanding of tension for tying. Bottoms must be able to effectively communicate to their tops for any adjustments during the class. Both tops and bottoms must have solid floorwork fundamentals skills.*
