Strappado Lab: Structure, Entry Points and Body FeedBack
Strappado can be built from many different starting points, and each one can create a very different experience in the body. This lab-style class will explore several approaches to building a strappado, focusing on how the starting position changes the pressure, intensity, accessibility, and overall feel of the tie.
We will look at different ways to enter the structure, how each variation affects the shoulders, chest, arms, and posture, and how to evaluate whether a version is appropriate for a specific body. Rather than treating strappado as one fixed shape, this class approaches it as a family of possibilities that can be adapted based on anatomy, intention, and scene goals.
After demonstration and discussion, students will have time to try different starting points with their partners and compare the results. The emphasis will be on observation, feedback, communication, and finding what works best for the model’s body rather than forcing one “correct” version.

Getting The Drop On - Flips, Rolls, Saltos & Dives
Description
Whether we’re tying for an audience of hundreds or just one, there are plenty of reasons we gravitate toward dynamic transition sequences. While we live for the thrill, we have also taken great pains to make sure we live to tie again another day, and we love sharing our secret sauce. In this crash course, learn about the rigging, body mechanics and aerial kinesiology of our approach to dives, flips, rolls, and more, with discussion and demos for multiple categories of drops. Then, we will put these concepts to the test as we guide you through our favorite aerial barrel roll drop from face up to gyaku ebi. It’s an embarrassment of intel and a barrel of fun whether or not you take the tumble yourself (prereqs apply to fly).
Attendees Should Bring
Bring your standard suspension kit and choice of ring, rigging plate, and/or carabiners if you and your tying partner meet our flight checklist and want to try the drop for yourselves.

Participation in our drop practical is for tying partners who already have solid education and experience with standard suspension transitions, but participation is not required to observe.

Pain Is in the Details: Rope and Pressure Points
This class examines how rope placement interacts with the body's pressure points to intensify sensation within a tie. Students will learn to use positioning and tension deliberately, turning small technical choices into powerful sensory tools without added implements. Arkady will guide students through identifying key pressure points and understanding how rope angle and pressure affect sensation. It's well suited for riggers looking to add nuance and precision to their existing technique

Futomomo Flips (90)
Come learn a suspension sequence where we use futomomos and an upper body harness to create flips, rolls, and torsions in the air.
Riggers will need strong suspension skills, a sustainable futomomo, and an upper body tie that loads from the front and back and can survive multiple transitions. Bottoms will need experience with suspensions in multiple orientations, the ability to handle heavy load on futomomos, good body awareness, and communication skills. Please bring 6+ lengths of rope for the body, 3+ lengths suitable for main suspension load, and uprigging gear. If you have any questions about class requirements please reach out to @Provocations on Fetlife.

Semenawa Floorwork: Building Intensity Through Classic Restrictive Ties
Semenawa Floorwork: Building Intensity Through Classic Restrictive Ties
This class explores semenawa through strenuous floor-based rope, beginning with more accessible structures and gradually increasing intensity as the class progresses. We will work with classic restrictive ties inspired by hojojutsu-influenced shapes, focusing on control, compression, posture, and the emotional weight that can come from difficult rope.
The class will start with lower-intensity foundations so students can understand the mechanics, body positioning, and negotiation needed for this style of tying. From there, we will build toward more challenging variations, examining how small changes in rope placement, body angle, and tension can significantly change the experience.
This class is not about rushing into suffering or pushing past limits. Instead, we will focus on intentional intensity, clear communication, sustainable pacing, and reading the model throughout the tie. Students will be encouraged to explore how strenuous rope can create connection, vulnerability, and presence when approached with care and control.

Beyond the Boot - Better Ankle and Foot Ties
Hands-on / solo or partnered (switch-friendly!) / rope suspension
Description
Level up your ankle and foot ties! Most people's suspension repertoires include basic ankle cuffs and gravity boots. We deepen and expand this repertoire by comparing precision nuances of three different ankle cuffs, single-point suspendable foot tacos, and building off these concepts to introduce our unique Zero Gravity slipper. The slipper has been tested on a diversity of bodies with synthetics and natural fibers, and has an intensity level between ankle cuffs and foot tacos but is stable through transitions without the bulk of a gravity boot. Risks and safety are discussed in the class, which are informed by Zero-Gi and Sam Jay's unique experiences with two successful single toe suspensions and regular use of dropping into foot taco only suspensions, as well as rigorous partnered and self-suspension experience. This class is for advanced rope people only although all levels may observe. Partnered and solo participants are welcome, as is Switchcraft.
Attendees Should Bring
Bring your suspension kit with at least one full length you are comfortable using on the body and as a suspension line.
Prerequisites
Advanced suspension - Be able to safely and confidently suspend in foot and/or ankle-based ties with your partner or self.

Dynamic Suspension Flips and Controlled Movement
This class focuses on dynamic movement in suspension, including controlled flips, directional body changes, and quick transitions while maintaining safety, intention, and connection. We will explore how to move the body through space with purpose rather than force, using timing, communication, and rope management to keep transitions clean and controlled.
Particular attention will be given to managing up-lines, understanding load changes, and preparing the body and rope structure before initiating movement. Students will learn how small adjustments in tension, body position, and rope placement can dramatically affect the ease and safety of a flip or transition.
This class is intended for students who already have a solid foundation in suspension, line management, and negotiation. The goal is not simply to “make the body move,” but to create dynamic rope that feels controlled, connected, and intentional for both rigger and model

Semenawa, Beauty in Struggle
This class introduces semenawa technique, focusing on ties that bring the body to the edge of discomfort in a controlled, intentional way. Students will learn to read their partner's responses, adjust tension and positioning, and build scenes that honor both aesthetic and struggle. Arkady will cover the technical foundations of semenawa along with the psychological considerations that make this intense style both beautiful and safe. Expect a class that balances rope craft with a closer look at sitting with discomfort together.
