The focus of my rope style is the translation of simple, foundational techniques into feeling and mood.
Both the 1-hour performance and 1-hour workshop will focus on this. Minimal focus on aesthetic, with a more liberal and playful approach to intimacy, sharing rope without the explicit definition and command of power often present in rope. While learning knots, safety considerations, and other technical details are important, mood, creativity, and expression aren’t always at the forefront of teaching spaces.
Finally, I’m a Black, African person and my rope practice embraces my local culture and is not centered around Japan or European values, motifs or dogma. This will be a considerate deviation from the usual.
