This is a participant-driven event for aerialists with an established practice on aerial rope! We’ve got 40 foot ceilings, a FOAM PIT, and mini workshops and jams with the best community. Join us for 4 days of ROPE in beautiful Vermont!
Registration is now open!
Snag your spot before the meeting fills up (we usually do)!
The NECCA Rope Meeting is a creative space for rope artists from all over the world to meet, share, connect, learn, and reflect. We provide the space and the community while you bring your excitement and the skills you want to practice. The fun builds from there in an open training format!
NECCA Rope Meeting is participant-driven. We like to emphasize this aspect of the NECCA Rope Meeting. You create the vibe! While we of course provide the space, organize official workshops, and provide snacks, coffee, and pancakes (and take out the garbage), the skill shares and jams during open training are all started by YOU! If you like something, show it off to your friends. Want to see more creative exploration? Announce a skill share on that topic during the day!
NECCA Rope Meeting runs for four days, June 5-8, 2025 at the New England Center for Circus Arts in Brattleboro, Vermont.
We’ve got loads of open training time, an informal Work-In-Porgress show, a Rope Battle, and a Rope Party!
Ticket & Workshop Pricing
NECCA Rope Meeting registration is $185 for all four days!
Your ticket cost covers hours of open practice each day, a Rope Battle, a Works in Progress showing, and time to connect and meet with other ropers!
