Body Bamboo

With William

In this workshop, William will be demonstrating multiple ways to tie off to a bamboo pole quickly and securely and showing ways to incorporate body bamboo into your ties.  Body Bamboo is a great way to add rigid structure into your floor work, predicaments and full suspension scenes.  We will be playing with floor and partial predicaments including introductions to setting up lines.  Body bamboo is a wonderful way to add structure and intensity to your rope play especially if you don’t have access to hard points on a regular basis.  

We’ll be going over specific hitches to use and various lashing styles. Ideally, participants will be comfortable forming and using single column ties, hojo cuff construction as well as at least one simple hands free chest harness.
