Workshop Strappdo

The arm-binder is an upper body harness that offers a lot of possibilities, but not many can use strappado to its full potential. It is often a challenge for many riggers to tie a safe or non collapsing arm-binder structure, especially when dealing with less flexible arms of their models.

We will learn how to tie a variety of patterns to suit different intentions. We will cover comfortable and strict, minimalist and overtied arm-binders. Most importantly, we will explore different ways of using them in suspensions and on the floor.

Pre-requisites

This workshop is intended for advanced riggers and rope bottoms with good experience in suspensions. We recommend this workshop for those who have completed a level 1 workshop covering basic Naka Ryu ties and suspension with us or others. Both riggers and models should have good experience with ties like Futomomo, Mermaid and Monoblock (Basket tie).

Bring with you

Participants need to bring at least 12 ropes and at least one shorter rope.
