Want to learn about the superpowers of fat bodies in rope? Join this class to learn how to use the strengths of soft and heavy bodies for kick-ass harnesses and suspension.
We will find answers to questions on tension, placement, body handling, and geometrics. We’ll figure out both upper and lower body harnesses as well as how to plan suspension positions and sequences in a way that makes flying effortless. The large variety of shapes and textures of fat bodies are included in the contents of the workshop.
The people getting tied in this workshop must identify as fat.

Who is this event for?
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid,
Friends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community.
When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgment to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges.
Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
