Torsion Study with hua hua

Wring out every last drop.

🎟️ Ticketed per tying pair

This workshop explores aesthetics, sensations, and technical considerations for torsion - twisting our partners with the weight of gravity and their own form to create new shapes and challenging sensations. hua hua will guide tying pairs through methods of creating and managing torsion, including strategies for balancing support and restriction in twisting ties, communication and body awareness for navigating the intensity of torsions, and the scene-building potential of rotation and off-axis forms
