Event Details

In this masterclass, Barkas and Addie will be taking the participants on a journey that goes beyond mere tying. In various sections, we will be looking at the fine details of some advanced techniques, at performances, rope pedagogy, as well as community building, and navigating a fast-paced rope world. This workshop is directed at those who are already proficient in their tying and who are now looking at what to do with that skill.

Please note that participants need to apply for this workshop. An application includes a brief letter of intent (previous experiences, previous teachers, a reason for participating) and a brief video of their tying skills. That video should ideally show the ability to tie a suspension-worthy upper body tie without problems as well as a suspension including locking off up-lines and lowering to the ground. An application should include both partners, i.e. letter of intent, and the video should include both the person tying and the person in ropes. Switching absolutely welcome but for time reasons, not every exercise can be done by both. Short-term changes of partners are possible with a check-in ahead of the workshop. Please send your application to info@karada-house.de
