So much of rope education focuses on patterns and positions and sequences. This workshop series with Barkas and Emmy goes in the opposite direction. In three parts we invite the participants to explore with us what lies in between and beyond mere rope techniques. From “un-planning” scenes and waiting for each other to the small but meaningful pauses.
We will demonstrate that people can get more out of rope not by learning yet another pattern or sequence.

Part 1 (July 8th, 7-10pm CEST): Planning or not planning a rope scene.

What are the advantages and disadvantages or either of the approaches and how can we consent to what we can’t yet know?

Part 2 (July 15th, 7-10pm CEST): Pauses and what happens in them.

When is it a good time to pause? How to communicate that this was intentional? And how to convey “planlessness” as a pause?

Part 3 (July 22nd, 7-10pm CEST): After the scene is before the scene.

When to stop rope scenes if there is no prebuilt storyline or a goal? How do rope scenes influence each other and “communicate” through time.
