About This Event
Shibari Live Drawing differs from usual live drawing sessions in two major ways. For one, the poses that can be reached with the help of ropes are very different from anything live drawing models could assume on their own, e.g. suspensions.
On the other hand, those poses are short living, which means that artists are not only met with unusual poses but also with less time to catch them.
In two Shibari performances by different Shibari practitioners from the community, the participants will meet different body types every time.
All levels welcome, all media welcome (photography is dependent on the performer’s individual wishes and only as long as it does not disturb the other participants).
