Description

What is your all-purpose agura pattern doing for you? We have put standard cross-legged ties under thorough cross-examination, interrogated the myth of the one-size-fits-all agura, and broken these forms down to their most basic functional elements. Explore how these building blocks come together and apart on the ground or in the air for a truly custom-tailored approach to tying en tailleur. Play to your creative goals, curiosities, interests, strengths, adaptive needs, and improvisatory styles with your partner or tying solo. Vital information will be provided throughout on many structural essentials, tradeoffs, risk profiles, modularity, and load points/angles for each variation shown, but guided lab time will allow you to share about specific needs or risks that are specific to you or your tying partner.

Prerequisites

All participants must all have a basic working knowledge of rope bondage risks and safety, and experience with essential building blocks like non-collapsing single column ties, frictions, lockoffs, and accurate tension & placement. Suspending participants should not be attempting their first or even their third agura-loading suspension.
