About this workshop:

Having thrown whips for over 20 years I want to pass on the knowledge that has been given to me. Early on I was once told that the only way to be good at throwing whips is to practice. A very good whip thrower told me if he could do it anyone can, since he is totally uncoordinated in every other way. But he made his mind up to be good and practiced until he was. So I want to pass along the practice methods he gave me that day some 20 years ago, and some things I have since learned.  I know of no other way to become good at whip throwing other than to practice. However your practice must have focus, and hopefully this is what I can help with.

We will cover types, construction, and care of whips. 

I will demonstrate several styles of throwing. 

And I will give you ways to practice throwing and what you are focusing on. 

And if time allows I will do one on one instruction, and or go further into how to scene using a whip. 

If you have a whip, bring it along.
