Parker & Juniper's Workshops
Hogties for Every Body
This hands-on rope workshop will cover hogties that can be adjusted to various body geometries, different ranges of mobility/flexibility, and personal preferences. Participants in this workshop will learn to tie hogties step-by-step, learning details of tension and placement. People being tied will learn how to determine which hogtie variations are best for your body. People tying will learn how to gauge and adjust a hogtie to be most suitable for a tying partner's specific body. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and get feedback. Applications of the ties in rope floorwork will be demonstrated.
You can attend this workshop with or without a partner. If you are seeking a workshop partner, there will be an opportunity (though no guarantees) to pair up with someone else at start of the workshop. Observers are also welcome.
Rope Chest Harness Fundamentals
In this workshop, participants will learn how to tie (and/or how to be tied) in sustainable, functional rope chest harnesses from experienced rope practitioners Parker RopeBoi and Juniper Quinn in an inclusive, body-positive environment. Workshop will include demonstrations, step-by-step hands-on tying instruction, opportunities for individual feedback, and information about risks and safety issues. All experience levels welcome! Basic experience with rope basics, a square knot, and a Somerville bowline single-column tie are helpful for this class. You can attend this workshop solo or with a partner. Participation in any parts of the workshop is entirely optional and should be done only with full, ongoing consent. Some hands-on parts of the workshop are most effective with a partner. If you attend solo, you are welcome to try to partner up with another solo participant at the start of the workshop.
Tension & Intention
Rope can produce a variety of sensations from gentle to rough and from sensual to torturous. It can wrap around the body like a comforting embrace. It can tighten and constrict into immobilizing restraints. It can gently glide onto the skin like a light massage. It can tickle or tingle. It can bite and scratch into the skin like talons. Rope can knock you off balance, and it can make you feel centered. Rope can make you feel grounded, and it can bring you to the ground. In this workshop, Parker RopeBoi & Juniper Quinn will share some of our favorite techniques for wielding rope with intention and control, and using rope to communicate many different sensations and emotions. People experience different rope sensations physically as well as mentally and emotionally, informed by our unique personal histories. People have different preferences, sensitivities, limits, expectations, and associations regarding rope in its many variations, and it's helpful to reflect on these things for oneself and to communicate about it with rope partners. No prior rope experience needed. All experience levels welcome! You can attend this workshop solo or with a partner. Participation in any parts of the workshop is entirely optional and should be done only with full, ongoing consent. Some hands-on parts of the workshop are most effective with a partner. If you attend solo, you are welcome to try to partner up with another solo participant in the workshop. You also can just observe instead of doing the hands-on activities, if you prefer.
