This is a workshop for understanding how to create self-suspended twisted shapes, where the upper and lower body are pointing in different directions.
Torsions challenge the body in different ways: breath restriction, stretching that calls the body to relax, and the sense of being frozen in the middle of the movement. These are also the reasons why twisted shapes are especially hard to achieve in self-suspension. This workshop focuses on practical information and ties for torsion success. We will talk about the logic of upper and lower body ties suitable for self-tied torsions. Ceci will demo body mechanics and transitioning into and out of torsions in self- suspension.
This is a tie-along workshop, and Ceci will wait for you to have your harnesses ready before starting the suspension. The process is easier if you can have your camera on. You need some flexibility, as you will tie frictions on your lower ribcage in the back.
