Thanks to several practical exercises in pairs, it will also allow you to start tying your first harnesses so that you can have fun independently afterwards.

Level: Beginner level

From 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. - Constraint on bamboo

By Juliette and Raphaël

As the rope is flexible, the constraint it creates blends into the body, creating shortcuts in movements. In this workshop, we will instead explore constraint through a solid object, such as bamboo, added to bring other positions and intensities. We will seek to create relief in shapes and physical engagements, create points of support, leverage or imbalance thanks to these, starting by learning different ways of attaching bamboo to the body and observing the ways in which constraint influences movements or generates them.

​

Level: all levels

Prerequisites: must come in pairs.

From 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. - One Rope Play

By Eric and Laurianne

One rope, just one: to share, to communicate, to meet. Through this course, you will be made aware of dynamic and moving tying games thanks to this minimalist tool. The idea? Understand that through a single and simple rope, it is possible to create different levers to shape, to constrain the flesh with the flesh, the rope then becoming the extension of the body of the rigger. With practice and the acquisition of a certain form of logic in the movement it becomes possible to create ephemeral and moving postures as well as an intense bodily and emotional dialogue between partners.

Level: all levels

Prerequisites: must come in pairs. Rope loans possible
