Small rigger or larger model?
“Tying Larger Bodies” is a specific class with universal knowledge and framework oriented to help smaller riggers tying anyone bigger and larger than themselves and for rope models who are larger and bigger than their rigger.
Pauline Massimo & Mabel will share lots of fundamental knowledge and technical skills that both of you need in order to seamlessly tie together. The class not only gives you principles but also goes into the topics of safety and how to get to know your body and its limits better. It also discusses how a well-balanced collaboration between the person tying and the person being tied could look like to help with the extra challenge and have lots of great rope fun.
The approach of this class is not style-specific but rather focuses on communication and collaboration that is suitable for every person and style and aims to help you have a more sustainable experience and take care of your bodies.
This online class will serve several ideas, tips, and a framework that Pauline has been working on with regular revisions and updates over the years. This will not be a follow-up class but more like an explanation behind why they do things in a certain way, their approach, and demos of how to handle it in a practical way.
Pauline considers this class a more intermediate level, where participants should be knowledgeable about basic practical and theoretical concepts, both rigger and model on their own parts. Is super important that each participant sticks to their level and comfort zone and explores in a more controlled and safer way, taking time to practice and progress to happen gradually.
Even though the class might have some partial suspension or full suspension, Pauline encourages participants who do not suspend to participate and watch and get what they can and need to apply for their level. Almost everything can be adapted to different levels above total beginners.
