I have always found the art of knot tying to be incredibly interesting. There are so many different varieties of knots that all have their own uses and specifications but they also all somehow have immense similarities. Knots are commonly found within theater but similar to many of the technical aspects of theater we took many of our ideas from other professions. Many knots come from the long history within boating and tying up sails. Many of those knots have then been reused and shifted to assist in camping and other outdoor activities. In theater we use many different types of knots in rigging. Having good rigging capabilities allows for scenic sound and lighting equipment to be properly hung above the stage deck without the possibility of it falling back down. Because many of the most used knots all come from similar places, each knot is fundamentally similar. That means that if you are able to understand the steps themselves you can adjust or interchange different steps in order to make most of the knots used in all the different fields.
