TK for Everyone ?

14. February 2024, 8:30 pm – 10:30 pm

This workshop will start with picking some specific needs from the participants regarding difficulties with the TK.

Through Benoît’s technical knowledge and Noémie’s awareness of anatomy, we will try to go through various tips and variations and harness buildings to give everyone the keys to create their own experiments and find adaptations and solutions.

The idea is also to give models the understanding of what would work better for them and to give people tying the tools to make it happen.

 

Details:

Format: discussion, demonstration

Minimum Knowledge Level: These prerequisites will make the discussion easier to follow, but are not absolute requirements, as there will not be a real “hands-on” part in this workshop.
For people getting tied: having experience with TKs / gotes. Even better if they tried different types and have an idea about their preferences or difficulties.
For people tying : as I won’t go into TK basics, it will be better if you have technical knowledge about one high-hands / stemless / V-shapes TK, and one mid-hands / stemmed / T-shaped TK.

What to Bring: Your partner and one or two ropes if you want to try some of the things during the workshop, but in any case, if you really want to profit from this class, you’ll have to experiment on your own later. So, mostly: a notebook and a pen, or your favorite notes app.

Solo or Partnered: partnered, if you want to tie along, any constellation for watching

Class recording: yes

This class will be recorded (only the facilitator, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 30 days after the event.

Benoît Descordes (she/her)

Benoît Descordes is a nonbinary switch from Paris, France. She was lucky enough to begin her rope education in 2014 when various teachers started coming to Paris from all over the world which offered her a large technical skills, and a view on many different styles. Now, almost ten years later, her style is a kind of semenawa mixing playful predicaments and slow buildings of torturous ropes. Her c...
