SUSPEND SOMEONE HEAVIER THAN YOU

This workshop is designed for riggers eager to explore techniques that facilitate sessions when they are lighter than the individuals they suspend. When a rigger cannot provide counterweight during lifts, numerous questions arise to compensate for this lack of strength.

Through various exercises, I would like to show you that with experience, suspending someone heavier becomes just a factor to which we must adapt and is no longer considered a difficulty.

The course will then focus on understanding the mechanics of pulleys and friction to comprehend that impeccable technique and proper positioning of our bodies in space are essential.
We will explore a set of tips, adjustments, and techniques that will enable both the rigger and the person being tied to have the best suspension experience.

✱ This workshop lasts two days, but a shorter one-day version is also possible.
