For people doing self-suspension, would you have any advice or tips on how to handle yourself elegantly in the different positions created by ropes? I find it quite hard in a show to have a dynamic natural flow, but also to propose a visual diversity of patterns. Thank you all very much !

@Ombre Anatkh What is it that you are trying to express through your self-suspension? If you are aiming to create an elegant and graceful showpiece then perhaps looking in aerial silk performances for reference on choreography would be useful. If you are trying to stay more true to kinbaku as a practice and express what it feels like to be restrained, bound or to surrender then this would require some more thought into how to express something less dynamic as a staged performance. Sometimes it helps to decide on the conclusion first.
Quite true indeed! I was more thinking about expressing Kinbaku through self tie but of course aerials are a good reference too. It's also an issue to manage to tie yourself gracefully on a ring, because the swivel makes it constantly moving ha ha
