Quick Shot

16. February 2024, 6:15 pm – 8:15 pm

Performing on stage involves a number of constraints, such as working from a single hanging point, a lack of visibility from moving lighting, and a very short playing time in which we like to make a few transitions.
From equipment to tips and tricks, we will meet these conditions by managing tension lines on several carabiners and the 3rd rope TK & “quick futomomo” we made our own.

 

Details:

Format: hands-on workshop

Minimum Knowledge Level:  people tying:: TK as Gorgone’s or Naka’s style and confident with tension lines management, person getting tied:: be familiar with a suspended TK
(the practice also works with a front-hand harness)

What to Bring: 9 ropes / 4-5 symmetrical 0 or pear-shaped carabiners/swivel (optional)

Solo or Partnered: any constellation for watching, partnered if you want to tie along

Class recording: yes

This class will be recorded (only the facilitator, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 30 days after the event.
