Rope Handling and Body Mechanics: Perilous Partials

This class will cater to those who wish to introduce gravity into their play. Partials can be a new element to expand creativity in your scene. Concepts will be introduced for developing logic 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; while using quick, efficient, and safe(r) upline management. Depending on time we will go through 1-2 predicament partial sequences. Intermediate/Advanced. Requirements: (6-8 pcs) natural fiber rope 6mm or similar, 7-8 meters long. Suspension Equipment such as: climbing straps/runners, climbing grade rated carabiners, suspension ring, or bamboo. A non-collapsing single-column cuff, a solid suspension-worthy TK or chest harness that can be loaded from the back, 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.
