How does it feel when a rope session is guided by the bodies of everyone involved? What happens when you combine the deep presence, listening and movement of couples dancing and contact improvisation with the impact, polarity and creativity of rope bondage?
It’s not a dance workshop!
We will invite you into listening through the body, moving together, leading, following and paying attention to how it feels to be you, right here and now. And from that we will explore how to co-create meaningful sessions and reveal what’s inside through micro and macro movements.
Throughout this workshop we will work with movement as a means of communication, listening to the body and to your impulses to set yourself free from limiting patterns of thoughts, behaviour and habits in tying. We will work in solos, duos, trios and groups. With and without ropes. And with a wide range of polarity.
We will work with different partners across genders.
Saturday evening will be a jam with live music, ropes and dance.
This workshop is not about tying, yet all about tying.
You will not learn a lot of new patterns, but explore different ways of accessing the wisdom and intuition thats is already in your body
Life itself IS movement!
