Drills for Tension and Flow

About the Class

Tension is key to creating effective bondage and also key to establishing and maintaining a connection between yourself and your bottom as you tie. This class will offer a number of drills to improve your tension and create flow in your rope handling. This class is ideal for beginners and any rigger who feels a bit clumsy in their tying.

Pre-requisites: single column tie.

About the Presenter

fuoco began her rope journey as a bottom in Phoenix ten years ago and shortly thereafter moved to London, where much of her early rope learning happened. Upon moving back to the US, she began presenting at cons and intensives around the country sharing her love of rope. As an educator, she's decidedly non-dogmatic in her approach to teaching. Her classes aim to help bottoms to better understand their bodies in movement, and to offer riggers the knowledge to adapt their tying to the unique needs of their partners.

When she’s not doing rope, fuoco is a professional acrobat. Her dedicated study of the mechanics of the body make her especially interested in developing more comprehensive education for bottoms informed by these practices. She's also a leftist who believes that kink is inherently political. She strives to bring her politics, her values, and an accountability for those values into her teaching spaces.
