Asimira Rope Workshop Bundle

Workshops

1. Pressure Pleasure:
   Pressure is an unavoidable part of practicing rope, whether we’re talking about compressing the body to itself, the pressure of the ropes to the body or the pressure of one body onto another. Often when we talk about pressure it is in relation to pain (think pressure points), but pressure can also be a very pleasurable sensation. In this workshop we will look at ways to apply pressure in a rope scene in pleasurable ways.
   
   All levels are welcome.
2. Spine: Understanding Backbends:
   Backbends are a challenging position in ropes that are both loved and hated by many.
   In this workshop we will zoom in on the anatomy of the spine with a strong focus on backbends (both from a top and a bottom perspective). You will learn about the spine, how it functions and how you can more safely move someone or be moved into a backbend. We will cover a backbend position in ropes and give you time to explore.
   This workshop will be quite technical on a body-level rather than a rope level. It is most suitable for people of intermediate level (it will be helpful to be able to tie a chest harness and an upline. However, exercises can be adapted to different levels and attending without participating in the hands-on exercises that involve rope is possible.

Teacher

Asimira (NL) encountered ropes during her art school graduation project, it sparked new fire in her old fascinations with touch and anatomy and eventually inspired her to become a physiotherapist. She is a rope switch and uses her understanding of the human body on both sides of the fiber. Playfulness, movement and touch are more important to her than complicated technical ties. Beauty and pleasure are deeply intertwined for her due to her history as an illustrator, model and photographer. She takes pleasure from making something beautiful out of someone for her own viewing pleasure.

Tickets

You need to register as a couple if you wanna participate in the hands-on exercises. This ticket price goes for both workshops. By buying the bundle you are saving 20€.
