The smallest things can have the most significant emotional impacts. In this introductory workshop & demo, Mamana and René de Sans will dive into the topic of spacial relations, touch, directionality, and movement in the most simple and seemingly diminutive ways that will make quite a difference to you and your partner in ropes. Away we steer from the grand gestures of the person tying and the dramatic melting away of the person in ropes that one sees and therefore often unconsciously replicates when tying. Instead, we go small and intentional looking at the tiniest things we can do when relating to one another and how being careful and intentional will change the way you relate in ropes.
The ideas of this class are heavily influenced and draw from the teachings of Barkas, Addie Tahl, Akechi Kanna & Akechi Kagura.

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 acknowledgement 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.
