Transitions!

Suspension Transitions

Date & Time:9th August, 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Level:Intermediate (suspension experience required)

Description: Take your rope suspension practice to the next level with this 3-hour workshop focused on transitions in the air. We’ll explore how to move between suspension shapes fluidly, using transitions not only as a technical skill but also as a creative and connective tool.

In this class, we’ll dive into:

• Purposeful transitions – how to use them to extend time in the air while managing load and comfort

• Exploring multiple shapes – shifting between different body positions with intention and fluidity

• Communication and pacing – staying attuned to your partner and reading their body mid-air

• Balance and structure – managing rig tension and anchor points for safer movement between positions

This workshop is ideal for riggers and bottoms with some foundations in suspension who are ready to deepen their dynamic understanding of aerial rope. Expect guided exercises, demos, and plenty of time to explore with your partner.

Prerequisites:

• Experience with partial and full suspensions

• Familiarity with basic suspension lines and safety fundamentals

• Bottoms should feel confident in at least one suspendable harness

Come ready to experiment, learn, and fly.
