Intro to Shibari Score Notation

Taking notes of rope classes can be challenging. Different people use different formats, from just writing what happens, to taking photos step by step, to videos, to drawings, to mixes of approaches. A common problem a lot of people encounter is to then re-read these notes and be able to understand and make sense out of them later.
That’s why we have developed an open notation language: we wanted to find a way to write down sequences effectively, and create something that people can share and use to align, discuss, and improve.
From this introduction class you will learn the fundamentals of the Shibari Score Notation, a format developed by Anna Noctuelle over the years with the contribution of many people, and still growing. You will see how to take notes of basic sequences for your own personal use, and more.

Class elements:

• Introduction to the Shibari Score Notation

• Seeing the process of note taking through rope demos

• Basic notation symbols explained

• Time for Q&A at the end

Please keep in mind this is an introduction class, covering basics and some fundamental notation symbols. We’ll provide pointers for future learning and going deeper during the class. Follow us for more @shibari_score_notation
