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

Thursday, September 3rd 7-10pm

at Hit Me Up

Whether you're a skilled rope artist, an experienced rope bunny, or brand new and just curious, we welcome you! You may be tethered down, or you may get to fly with us. It also might get a little bit nerdy, because, hey, rope people.Please note that this is not a class! Feel free to get to know each other and share your knowledge or tie with someone new.

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.

Monday, September 14th 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.

Wednesday, September 30th 7-10pm

at Temple

Through in depth guided instruction and hands-on practice we will examine the artistry and function of static shapes in suspension. Emphasis will be placed on creative expression, sustainability in suspension, and awareness of safety and risk considerations.  Students will refine their rope handling, tension, control, precision, and flow, while continuing to build the scaffolding of their rope technique.
