Thursday, August 13th 7-10pm

at Temple

A monthly study group for advanced folks working in suspension wishing to hone their skills in a collaborative setting, facilitated by Syd.

Each month, the group will be presented with a new shape, sequence, concept, or pattern to work on.  The class will work through the “project”, with the collective support of the group for ideas and problem solving. In the last part of the class, the group will come together to discuss what worked well and what didn’t, reviewing and discussing successes, changes, adaptations, and so on.

August 15th! My schedule is open for scheduling lessons and sessions in September.

Sunday, August 16th 12-3pm

at Temple

This class is for advanced students confident in their static suspension technique, ready to level up their skillset. 

In this monthly class, students will work on dynamic sequences with multiple transitions.

Sunday, August 16th 4-7pm

at Temple

The Hang is temple's rope jam. An unstructured but supervised opportunity for shared rope shenanigans. 

Hosted by Syd

Tuesday, Monday August 17th 7-10pm

at Temple

A detailed and nerdy deep dive into how and why suspendable harnesses work in the air, and how to create them.

Each class will zoom in on a specific harness. Students will spend the class learning the pattern, personalizing it, load testing it, and as time allows, putting it into a simple partial suspension.

We’ll focus on:

• Adaptability and customization

• Tension 

• Rope handling and flow

• Awareness of safety and risk considerations

This workshop is designed for folks who feel comfortable tying on the floor, who are confident with their fundamentals (see below prerequisites), who are looking to move their practice towards suspension.  We’ll cover a lot of ground over a short period of time–bring  your thinking cap, come caffeinated, and be prepared for a fast paced and detail oriented few hours.

Tuesday September 8th 7-10pm

at Temple

When do we choose low hands versus high hands? What does it actually mean to “set” someone’s shoulders? What do you do with that stubborn bit of leftover rope at the end of your tie? When should we reinforce something, and when should we…probably not? And what the heck should our tension really be?

This is a space for curiosity, iteration, and investigation. Bring your questions. Bring a notebook. Bring a mindset ready to tie · untie · repeat.

Syd doesn’t have all the answers—but she’s excited to get delightfully nerdy in the process of finding them together. 

This offering is a hands-on and practice time, lightly guided by Syd.

at The Red Pavilion

“Follow us into the seductive world of Lust Caution, a captivating erotic cabaret that beckons you to chase thrills at every tantalizing turn.

As the lights dim, find yourself among the whispered tales and sordid characters of a neo-noir fantasy, featuring a rotating cast of nightlife luminaries performing live burlesque, aerial, cirque, sideshow and ritual theater. Never see the same show twice - each show features a new lineup!”

at Temple

Through in depth guided instruction and hands-on practice we will examine the artistry and function of static shapes in suspension.
