Private Lessons — Greater Boston (T Accessible)

Private instruction is offered in 2 to 4 hour immersive sessions designed to support deep focus, personalized exploration, and meaningful skill development. These extended blocks allow space for both technical refinement and experiential inquiry, adapting to the needs, experience level, and intentions of each student pair.

Sessions may include:

• Technical skill building and refinement

• Somatic awareness and body mechanics

• Rope safety and risk awareness

• Partner communication and consent practices

• Movement integration and flow development

Private lessons are ideal for pairs seeking tailored guidance, focused growth, or a deeper dive into specific techniques or themes.

Intensive Weekend Workshops

Weekend intensives offer a spacious container for the exploration of concept-driven rope styles. If you are an orginizer who would like to invite me to your community, please see general class descriptions I offer below.

Dynamic Minimalism — Tying with Movement

Dynamic Minimalism is an approach to rope that steps outside of traditional shapes or rigid patterns. Instead, it prioritizes function, responsiveness, and the evolving dialogue between movement and stillness.

This workshop explores:

• Minimal rope structures that support dynamic motion

• Continuous transitions between tying and untying

• Rope as a tool for guiding, resisting, and amplifying movement

• The relationship between breath, pacing, and tension

• Flow states and improvisation within intentional structure

Participants will be invited to shift their perception of rope from static form to living language that honors change, adaptability, and the beauty of the ephemeral. Equal emphasis is placed on untying as an active, expressive process, treating release as an integral element of the experience rather than an afterthought.

This workshop is well-suited for those interested in movement-based practice, performance exploration, or a more fluid, somatically-informed relationship with rope.

Introduction to Hashira

This workshop provides a foundational exploration of Hashira, offering participants a structured entry point into how to use this style of hardpoint.

Topics include:

• Core concepts and philosophy of Hashira

• Fundamental patterns and their applications

• Body positioning and alignment

• Tension management and safety considerations

• Emotional and energetic presence within structured form

This workshop supports beginners and intermediate practitioners who wish to build a strong technical base while maintaining a mindful connection to scene building and partner interaction.
