Open Rope Training (Intermediate): Creative Improvisation

This bi-weekly intermediate open rope training is directed at building on what has been taught in the Beginner Open Rope Training.

Please note that the classes will be taught in different styles from this level onwards. 

Teacher: Ceci Ferox

Style: Ceci’s tying is best described as fusion-style with a deep understanding of different schools of Japanese rope bondage. They are a specialist in modifying harnesses to different body shapes, sizes, compositions, and abilities. Ceci is driven by understanding why people tie the way they tie, and loves to deconstruct technique and communication into their basic elements to understand them better. In suspension, Ceci prefers working low, staying connected, and moving through transitions.

Topic of Exploration: CREATIVE IMPROVISATION

Want to upgrade your freestyle tying skills to a higher level – literally? Join this class for info and inspiration on suspension-worthy improvisation.

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 describe 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 proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
