TK Partial Suspension with Anna Noctuelle and Burgundy Rose

TK partial suspension
With Anna Noctuelle and Burgundy Rose

Over the course of this workshop, you will revise your knowledge of the TK and learn how to apply and secure uplines to start to play with gravity.

This class will be co-taught by Anna Noctuelle and Burgundy Rose, and will look at both the bottom and rigger perspective.

We will explore key details on tension, placement, safety and sustainability with this iconic tie. You will experience how the TK loads with an upline, and play with different shapes to enhance the sensation, aesthetics and emotional journey of a scene.

We will cover:

• Suspension lines and lock-offs
• Setting the height of your point
• TK revision
• Attaching uplines to the TK
• Loading the TK in different positions for play
• Fluid body handling
