Rope i sn't just about knots\, frictions\, and patterns...it's about communicat ion.\n\nIn this class\, we will talk about the most basic topic\, and th e most advance topic of all: rope handling. In this class\, we will disc uss rope handling and body manipulation (yours and your partners). Rope is a flow art. And whether partnered or not\, it can be a dance. In this class\, we will focus on how you move the rope and move the person bein g tied with the rope. We will go over a few drills to help you build int o muscle memory some basic rope management skills so your rope becomes y our partner in movement and bondage and not a distraction. We will also cover ways to use rope to move your partner and talk about some basics o f anatomy to help you unlock easier and more satisfying ways to move bod ies in rope.\n\nIf you missed the earlier classes on single columns\, fr ictions\, and connecting rope\, come right at 3pm so we can go over thos e skills again. If you'd like to help TA (and help a newer group learn s ome of the skills)\, please reach out!\n\nFor those who want to drill or learn their single columns\, here are two of my favorite tutorials:&nbs p\;https://vimeo.com/143109618 \;(Shay w/ a larks head SC) and\nhttp s://crash-restraint.com/ties/66 \;(Topologist's Somerville Bowline). \n\n\n\nAnytime during a Boundless event\, please feel free to opt out o f the facilitated activities and tie in the designated areas (generally the back half of the club).\n\nBring your rope\, safety cutter\, snacks\ , and your water bottle. Dress code is something you can tie and/or be t ied in. If you are staying for the event following BRE\, please bring so mething you can change into. Generally\, Sanctuary has a 'dress to impre ss/make an effort' dresscode for most evening events.\n\nWhat is the Bou ndless Rope Experience?\nWe aim for:\n\n A learning and labbing environ ment to teach one another and explore rope in community\n An invitation to make new friends who are interested in rope\n A body neutral and we lcoming event for all\n A sober\, fun\, and potentially sexy (but not s exual) space\n Embracing all types/genres of rope without judgment so l ong as practices are consent-forward and mitigate risk of injury\n\nEver y month\, MxBliss will facilitate a class with the aim of sparking conve rsation/debate\, sharing information\, and encouraging exploration. Whil e framed as a series\, you are free to drop in at any time in the series . Except for the Suspension Class\, no pre-requisites for labbing. Also\ , a tying partner is not required for any of the classes as most technic al skills we are covering can be self-tied.\n\nBoundless Rules:\n\n All partnered rope must be prenegotiated prior to any play/labbing/scene\n Uplines must be reinforced (reinforced jute or hemp) or synthetic (Posh \, nylon\, MFP\, or other rope rated for marine\, climbing\, or rescue)\ n Normal Sanctuary rules about prohibited play: i.e. No neck rope\, bre ath-\, race-\, rape-\, or blood-/scat-/wet- play\n No mind altering sub stances during Boundless.
