Bios:

KnotReallyDead has been exploring rope for nearly a decade, and studying semenawa as a focus since 2021. Together with Specimen, they have been discovering what the balance of technique, communication, and emotional openness can mean within rope.

SpecimenRed has been involved in rope for over 10 years. They bring an understanding of the body, and what it means to be present in rope, that is derived from both their experience as a bottom and their background in aerial arts. They are currently living in Boston with Knotreallydead and their cats
