Minimalism to Maximalism

With Mrghy

An exploration of sensation, immobility, pressure, and duration for both the person tying and the person being tied. 

Born as a class for beginner tiers, this quickly turned into a journey open to folks at all experience levels with a strong emphasis on bottoming skills, with a desire to explore improvisational shape-making and durational elements in floor play. This class aims at practicing simple skills for high affect, with the intention of creating different sensory landscapes for the person receiving rope, and different embodied qualities for the person tying. Folks can come with a partner, or self tie with the same exact intention and practice.

We will discuss basic safety considerations to frame preferences and desires. A couple of simple technical exercises will open a longer exploratory tie, followed by some time to discuss the experience together. 

Prerequisites:
- For people tying, forward and reverse tensions, any lock off, and any single column tie.
- For people being tied, a strong ability to recognize their limits and communicate them. 

- For Self-tiers, a little bit of both is needed!

Materials: 10 ropes minimum, one blindfold (yes, for self tiers too!).

RSVP is $30 per person
