Sylb (she/her) is a rope performer and educator who has been teaching rope since 2021 with a primary focus on self-tying and self-suspension. Her experience in rope spans self-tying, and both giving and receiving rope in a variety of styles. Sylb’s style borrows from both eastern and western rope, blending approaches according to the intent of the tie, the needs of the person receiving rope and the environment. She loves to explore physicality and self-expression in rope through contrast in movement and stillness, and uses rope as a tool for communication, trust and intimacy. Sylb has lived experience with disability including chronic pain, hypermobility (EDS) and POTS. She strongly believes that rope can be for everyone and is always happy to workshop adjustments to techniques to support individual needs. Sylb will be teaching Wednesdays on the Northside.
