workshop

What to know:
Active participants, i.e. those who would like to tie along or try the exercises immediately, should be able to tie a single/double column tie and have some knowledge about different frictions, as well as suspension experiences for that corresponding part. None of that is a threshold for participation in general and participants of all levels are welcome. We strongly recommend not to tie along when you are not proficient in the underlying rope techniques.
What to bring:
opes (the techniques covered work well for natural fiber rope, and synthetic will behave differently. This series is not suited to tying with synthetic rope), a partner, suspension point if you want to tie along in Part III

Ranboo, literally translated means stormy, overwhelming, wild.

About 10 years ago, Barkas developed Ranboo as a way of rejecting a static and often seemingly boring practice of rope bondage. A wild dance while tying with each other is the result.
Ranboo is characterized by a large amplitude of variation of distance, speed, and intensity, paired with an element of surprise. It is not a set of patterns or a “visual goal” but a way of interacting
with your partner(s) through rope, a specific interview type, if you want.

In this 3-parts workshop series, Barkas will accompany the participants through the principles, applications, and variations of Ranboo, while keeping a strong focus on safety.

Disclaimer: The highly dynamic nature of ranboo comes with the potential of greater risk for injuries. We strongly recommend participants watch the series in order and only practice exercises from the latter parts if they are proficient in the basic techniques.

Part I Introduction (April 22nd, 2026,  7-10 pm CET)

In the introduction, we will get to know the key terms of ranboo and get familiar with movement and techniques to safely tie in this style.

Part II Next Level (April 29th, 2026,  7-10 pm CET)

We increase the pace and variation of distance and apply the principles learned in Part I to some standard patterns.

Part III Floor & Air (May 6th, 2026,  7-10 pm CET)

Ranboo on the floor is challenging due to various aspects. In this part, we use these challenges to further familiarize participants with the concepts developed in the previous parts but on the floor. Some challenges of ranboo that appear on the floor are similar when we go into suspensions. Other challenges are added. We go through a suspension and see how ranboo affects the way we can tie in the air.
