DUO ROPE
Rollmeknot shares some of their own tricks and tools to creative pathways and exploration for rope duos. In this workshop participants deeply explore close connection and synchronised movement with two bodies whilst in relation to the rope. The group travels through a series of exercises that stimulate creative research in order to find new and continuous ways to give and take weight, building trust in their partner. Participants can apply individually, there is no need to apply as a duo.

Knots have been one of Gaia’s main curiosities and muse for many years. During this two hour workshop she shares some of her own inspiring rope research and theories. She believes in giving tools to produce natural movement quality. Therefore, she proposes creative approaches to stimulate participants in finding their own ways into their knots. She also teaches some of her tricks and explores “the art of doing and undoing” knots in the air.
