This series allows rope facilitators to show participants how they approach intimate sessions, away from modes of teaching or performing. Come and witness an improvised intimate moment amongst people who do rope (pretty well). We will blur the lines of the private and the public, the curated and the improvised. After the session, there is time for a little chat, Q&A and/or just sharing thoughts, dreams and wishes.

 

Format: intimate session

Portrait photo of Genks

Genks (she/they)

Genks has been part of the Edinburgh rope scene for well over a decade. She is a switch, but primarily a rigger. Genks ties with an eye for detail, creativity, asymmetry and making a big ol’ mess in ropes. She enjoys creating catharsis in scenes (in whatever flavour that comes). Their teaching style aims to encourage playfulness, fun and aesthetics rooted in organic shapes.

Hanimal (she/they)

Hanimal, also part of the Edinburgh scene, has bottomed for rope on and off since 2011 and is currently training up her skills as a rigger. Her rope is playful and curious, blending exploration with a touch of mischief. She loves being contorted into ridiculous shapes and will always look for an opportunity to make it weirder.
