1. Expressions and styles in rope

Have you ever found yourself snapping dozens of photos during a workshop, only to struggle piecing together the precise suspension sequence later? Or felt disheartened by your inability to sketch meaningful stick figures that aid in comprehending a sequence? Perhaps you've been struck with ideas for experimenting in a rope jam during your morning shower, only to forget them entirely by the time you step onto the mat. Have you ever needed to come up with a performance but lacked sufficient time with your tying partner to go through every step, yet also lacked the language to convey it over the phone? Maybe we can help you!

In this class, Anna Noctuelle will present and teach how to use a graphical notation system for Shibari which is akin to choreography notation for dance or musical notation. It was invented to cater to the needs of exploration, documentation, and composition of Shibari sequences, offering both novices and seasoned practitioners an easy and straightforward yet precise method of notation. It serves as a means to document, recall, and construct sequence progressions with ease. Whether swiftly capturing ideas or memorising sequences from workshops or performances, this notation can be of great help. For advanced students, it facilitates the drafting and comprehension of new concepts before trying it out. By establishing a universal language for Shibari notation, it fosters the exchange, preservation, and creation of learning materials, performances, exercises, and ideas for scenes.

This Workshop is divided into two days:

Day 1 sets the stage as we dip our feet into reading and notating sequences. Armed with only your pen, paper, and eraser, you'll learn to notate what you see. It serves as the foundation and you can then use the system for workshop notes and other sources.

On Day 2, we transition from theory to practice. This day invites you get creative, using the system to craft your own sequences and read from the sheet. It will be a hands-on day where you'll be actively composing, tying, and collaborating with others. Bring pen, paper, eraser and a tying partner.

The level for this workshop is intermediate to advanced and especially beneficial for those who teach themselves, perform or regularly attend workshops or are aspiring to do so.
