Transition
In suspension, the change from one position to another while the person stays in the air, such as moving from face up to side or face down.
A transition is a change from one suspended form to another, so that several positions are linked into one sequence in the air. In Ropejam Studio’s course descriptions by Lola Tiger Nawa, a static suspension keeps a single position from lift to descent, while transitions belong to dynamic suspension. The course content on transitions covers shifting load from one line to another, and its examples include changing between face-up, side and face-down orientations and turning the person upside down or back again. The same description stresses that a transition can be very slow; speed is not what defines it.
