Wild Cards are open slots that can be filled by participants and facilitators of Queerope alike.
This workshop is aimed at those who are looking to be more creative in their floor work and are bored of symmetry and patterns. Learn to collaborate with your rope partner to seek out new shapes and sensations in floorwork. In this floor based workshop we will use various exercises to explore connective movement, bottom led tying and the capacity for twisting, contorting and compacting the people we tie. The workshop will be a blend of instruction, practical demos, tying and practice so everyone gets a chance to understand and apply these principles and exercises.
