Sustainable Suspensions— Harnessing for Every Body

with Hajime Kinoko

Introducing a new harness by Hajime Kinoko that is designed to function well for Masc, AMAB and bigger bodies, we will be working on a series of shapes in static suspensions.  

World renown Shibari artist Hajime Kinoko is well known for his unique rope art installations and for his elegant and dynamic performances.  Both require a high level of precision and ingenuity based on years of study, practicing more traditional techniques and shapes in suspension.  His creativity has taken Kinoko’s work to whole new levels.  Sustainability is key to making his durational performances last.

For this workshop, Kinoko will share a variety of harnesses and techniques that he has developed to create sustainable suspensions that can be used on a wide variety of bodies.  We will learn how to extend scenes with more focus on time in the air, giving tops and bottoms more space to explore depth and connection in flight. 

Day 1 is intended for couples that have some experience together in suspension. This is considered an intermediate level suspension class.  Riggers should have a functional practice with Gote ties to build on.   

You must purchase one ticket per day you wish to attend.

Tickets are $480 per tying pair for one day, or $800 for both days. Discount will be applied to your cash balance. Detailes in your confirmation email.
$200 deposit, $280 cash at the start of class. $480 total.
