Did you enjoy the pretzel partials class at Queer Rope Berlin 2025? If so this is the class for you. For those that missed it….This class is aimed at helping you (re) discover the creativity possible with partials. Combining the intimacy of floor work with a little added help from gravity. Symmetry is banned and chaos rope is encouraged.

Expect lots of tangled limbs, foot, toe, finger, face and hair rope. This class will use many of the same principles as last years class but with a different exercise, loading weight onto the lower half of the body.

Facilitator

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.
