The Rope Collective’s Floor Series: Knots + Frictions

Part of our Core Curriculum and the first part in our Floor Series!

This event will take place at The Rope Collective Studio in Barrio Logan, San Diego. Visit the Contact + Location tab of our website for studio access information.

Part of our Core Curriculum and the first part in our Floor Series! In part 1 of our Floor Series, we will review foundations of rope (informed consent, negotiation, aftercare, vetting, etiquette, risk awareness, body awareness, and important anatomy) *though there are no prerequisites to this course, taking our "Foundations of Rope" course prior is highly recommended*. We will then go over a couple variations of the single column and double column tie. As well as a ladder and futomomo leg ties.

These ties will be the prerequisites to the second part of our series.

Prerequisites:

Basic knowledge of foundations/ soft skills including: informed consent, negotiation, aftercare

Basic Safety risk knowledge including nerve impingement and loss of circulation.

R ECOMMENDED ITEMS TO BRING:

Wear clothing that allows you to feel comfortable, empowered or expressive. This is not a play party and all guests will be encouraged to come in clothing that comfortable and/or expressive in ways that feel good to them but required to keep under garments on and pelvic area covered. We suggest something that you might wear to move freely without feeling restricted. Separate top and bottom that allows you to expose legs, arms, and belly may feel good for the interactive portions of this workshop but is optional.

Please bring anything else that allows you to feel comfortable and we ask that you limit usage of strong perfumes/aromas to support a variety of sensory needs. Here's a list of items we use throughout most of our events, classes + workshops that will support your experience.

• mat/blanket

• jacket/sweater + layers for varying comfort needs and temperatures

• 1-2 hanks of rope + safety shears/cutting instrument

• notepad /pen
