This is a workshop for people who have already started self-suspension and want new ideas to try.
Ceci will teach two self-suspensions that are true to their self-tying style: sustainable and juicy to stay in.
The first exercise explores the uses of futomomos in vertical, head up suspensions. We will discuss what to take into consideration when constructing and using futomomos in this way.
The second exercise is a sequence that ends in a face-down suspension.
Ceci will show which patterns to use for the suspension sequence and give tips on how to make it more comfortable.
This workshop is in lecture format, which means you have the chance to ask questions but there will not be time to complete the exercises during class. Ceci is available to answer specific questions also after the class on ceci.ferox@gmail.com or Instagram @ceciferox.

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.
