Class 3 - Barrida. The Dry Stone Principle That Even the Incas Knew. No Mortar Required.

Details

Inca walls in Cusco are built from stones fitted together so precisely that no mortar holds them. The weight, the shape, the mutual engagement of each piece is enough. A barrida works the same way.

In this class we work on what full engagement with a barrida actually means: the attention, the sensitivity, and the active participation required from both sides to make it feel like a real exchange rather than one person pushing a foot around.

We will also cover the arastre, the barrida's close relative, and look at how the same gesture can travel in both directions depending on who is leading it and how the weight is arranged.
