SUMMARY:All Levels Rope
DESCRIPTION:The Tuesday All Level runs on an 8-week rotation. At the start of each rotation we introduce a new harness structure. Over the subsequent 7 weeks we then approach that structure from multiple different directions and purposes\, both technical and interpersonal. How can we break down and alter the harness to make it work in certain ways? Can we tie it while moving/dancing/sitting/playfighting? How does it behave in suspension? How can we make it ornate\, or comfortable\, or robust? We also build skills and habits to keep the focus on the interaction between humans rather than the pattern. People approach rope from a myriad different directions\, motivations\, and interests\, so our classes should reflect that diversity of approach.  \n\n\n\nThe order of classes may change depending on the pace and needs of participants. See the curriculum of our rope track \n\n\n\n\nHarness Intro\n\n\n\nDeeper Dive/Different Versions/Magic Tips and Tricks\n\n\n\nTying with Movement/Ranboo\n\n\n\nPartial/Static Suspension (Upline Review)**\n\n\n\nInterview Metaphor\n\n\n\nSuspension with Transition Options (Upline Special Considerations)**\n\n\n\nFloorwork\n\n\n\nChallenges! \n\n\n\n\nAll Level classes are designed for partner work\, though you are welcome to attend solo and absorb information.  \n\n\n\nA brief note on suspension: \n\n\n\nYou don’t have to suspend in these classes!

SUMMARY:All Levels Rope
DESCRIPTION:The Tuesday All Level runs on an 8-week rotation. At the start of each rotation we introduce a new harness structure. Over the subsequent 7 weeks we then approach that structure from multiple different directions and purposes\, both technical and interpersonal. How can we break down and alter the harness to make it work in certain ways? Can we tie it while moving/dancing/sitting/playfighting? How does it behave in suspension? How can we make it ornate\, or comfortable\, or robust? We also build skills and habits to keep the focus on the interaction between humans rather than the pattern.

SUMMARY:Differential Geometry for P*rverts
DESCRIPTION:Kink\, and within it rope bondage\, is often seen through one particular lens\, that of eroticism\, but what if we are looking for similarities in completely different fields?Higher mathematics doesn’t seem to have anything in common with rope bondage but only a quick look offers a vast variety of tools that can be embedded in the context of rope bondage. After all\, tying rope onto someone is nothing but applied differential geometry. \n\n\n\nWe will look at triangles and their behaviour when we leave a flat plane. We are using the Pythagorean theorem for measuring distances on Euclidean surfaces and see how Gauss\, Riemann\, and Einstein made it possible to do that on curved surfaces.A bit of general relativity with its geodesics and relativistic mechanics can help us understand some of the intricacies of rope bondage. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is first and foremost for people who wonder\, who are curious and not only for those with a strong interest in mathematics\, physics\, and engineering. The contexts we will use will enable participants to understand ropes better and help them with trouble shooting \n\n\n\nDetails

SUMMARY:All Levels Rope
DESCRIPTION:The Tuesday All Level runs on an 8-week rotation. At the start of each rotation we introduce a new harness structure. Over the subsequent 7 weeks we then approach that structure from multiple different directions and purposes\, both technical and interpersonal. How can we break down and alter the harness to make it work in certain ways? Can we tie it while moving/dancing/sitting/playfighting? How does it behave in suspension? How can we make it ornate\, or comfortable\, or robust? We also build skills and habits to keep the focus on the interaction between humans rather than the pattern. People approach rope from a myriad different directions\, motivations\, and interests\, so our classes should reflect that diversity of approach.  \n\n\n\nThe order of classes may change depending on the pace and needs of participants. See the curriculum of our rope track \n\n\n\n\nHarness Intro\n\n\n\nDeeper Dive/Different Versions/Magic Tips and Tricks\n\n\n\nTying with Movement/Ranboo\n\n\n\nPartial/Static Suspension (Upline Review)**\n\n\n\nInterview Metaphor\n\n\n\nSuspension with Transition Options (Upline Special Considerations)**\n\n\n\nFloorwork\n\n\n\nChallenges! \n\n\n\n\nAll Level classes are designed for partner work\, though you are welcome to attend solo and absorb information.  \n\n\n\nA brief note on suspension: \n\n\n\nYou don’t have to suspend in these classes!

SUMMARY:All Levels Rope
DESCRIPTION:The Tuesday All Level runs on an 8-week rotation. At the start of each rotation we introduce a new harness structure. Over the subsequent 7 weeks we then approach that structure from multiple different directions and purposes\, both technical and interpersonal. How can we break down and alter the harness to make it work in certain ways? Can we tie it while moving/dancing/sitting/playfighting? How does it behave in suspension? How can we make it ornate\, or comfortable\, or robust? We also build skills and habits to keep the focus on the interaction between humans rather than the pattern. People approach rope from a myriad different directions\, motivations\, and interests\, so our classes should reflect that diversity of approach.  \n\n\n\nThe order of classes may change depending on the pace and needs of participants. See the curriculum of our rope track \n\n\n\n\nHarness Intro\n\n\n\nDeeper Dive/Different Versions/Magic Tips and Tricks\n\n\n\nTying with Movement/Ranboo\n\n\n\nPartial/Static Suspension (Upline Review)**\n\n\n\nInterview Metaphor\n\n\n\nSuspension with Transition Options (Upline Special Considerations)**\n\n\n\nFloorwork\n\n\n\nChallenges! \n\n\n\n\nAll Level classes are designed for partner work\, though you are welcome to attend solo and absorb information.  \n\n\n\nA brief note on suspension: \n\n\n\nYou don’t have to suspend in these classes!

SUMMARY:"It's not the TK's fault" - Hybrid TK lab series in collaboration w Karada House
DESCRIPTION:The Takate Kote\, short just TK\, and its variations is one of the most tied structured patterns in the rope world. No matter if hands in the front or in the back\, if you tie a stemless TK or one with a stem\, whether you have Kannukis or not\, the TK is for sure a tie that has led to countless arguments amongst those who tie it regularly as well as against those who refuse to tie it for this or that reason. \n\n\n\nA standout quality of the TK is the fact that it is comprised of basically all fundamental techniques used in Shibari. Learning the TK isn’t limited to just learning a pattern but rather it allows to comprehend most of what is needed to tie with each other\, from proper tensions and placements\, all kinds of frictions and hitches\, as well as basic anatomy and rope handling. \n\n\n\nWe will not only demystify the Takate Kote but we will also look into the intricacies of it. We will work on it from the ground up and participants will get a picture as complete as possible about the advantages and disadvantages of various TK’s. What is it for\, when can we use which and what are the compatibilities and incompatibilities between different variations of the TK. \n\n\n\nPART 1 (JULY 27TH\, 2025\, 10am – 1PM PST)– Myths and monsters – why it’s not the TK’s fault if it’s boring or unsafe.– Principles of the TK – actually grounded in physics and not in tradition.– Complete structure of a TK \n\n\n\nPART 2 (AUGUST 3RD\, 2025\, 10am – 1PM PST)– Variations with hands low or high– Variations of the so-called “3rd rope”– Attachment points for suspensions and variations to support more up-line points. \n\n\n\nNote:This hybrid class can be visited via zoom AND in person. The in-person class is located at Studio Allegory in Vancouver\, Canada. The class will be recorded and in-person participants will be shown how to avoid being in the recording if they choose to not be in the recording. All participants (online and in-person) will get access to the recording of the class for 30 days after the end of the class. Please be aware that an online ticket is not valid for an in-person participation. The online part is hosted by Karada House\, the in-person part is hosted by Studio Allegory. \n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\nDate and Time: July 27th & August 3rd 2025\, 10am – 1pm PST (Pacific Standard Time)DOORS OPEN at 9.30 and CLOSE at 10am. Please arrive well before 10am!)\n\n\n\nDuration: 3h per class (2 classes)\n\n\n\nFee: $45/person per class\, $80/person for both parts. Please note that this is the in person rate with direct instruction. Access to recording included\n\n\n\nPrerequisites: Single column tie plus a basic understanding of frictions and hitches (half- and munter hitches).\n\n\n\nMaterial to bring: minimum 3 ropes\, ~8m ea.

SUMMARY:"It's not the TK's fault" - Hybrid TK lab series in collaboration w Karada House
DESCRIPTION:The Takate Kote\, short just TK\, and its variations is one of the most tied structured patterns in the rope world. No matter if hands in the front or in the back\, if you tie a stemless TK or one with a stem\, whether you have Kannukis or not\, the TK is for sure a tie that has led to countless arguments amongst those who tie it regularly as well as against those who refuse to tie it for this or that reason. \n\n\n\nA standout quality of the TK is the fact that it is comprised of basically all fundamental techniques used in Shibari. Learning the TK isn’t limited to just learning a pattern but rather it allows to comprehend most of what is needed to tie with each other\, from proper tensions and placements\, all kinds of frictions and hitches\, as well as basic anatomy and rope handling. \n\n\n\nWe will not only demystify the Takate Kote but we will also look into the intricacies of it. We will work on it from the ground up and participants will get a picture as complete as possible about the advantages and disadvantages of various TK’s. What is it for\, when can we use which and what are the compatibilities and incompatibilities between different variations of the TK. \n\n\n\nPART 1 (JULY 27TH\, 2025\, 10am – 1PM PST)– Myths and monsters – why it’s not the TK’s fault if it’s boring or unsafe.– Principles of the TK – actually grounded in physics and not in tradition.– Complete structure of a TK \n\n\n\nPART 2 (AUGUST 3RD\, 2025\, 10am – 1PM PST)– Variations with hands low or high– Variations of the so-called “3rd rope”– Attachment points for suspensions and variations to support more up-line points. \n\n\n\nNote:This hybrid class can be visited via zoom AND in person. The in-person class is located at Studio Allegory in Vancouver\, Canada. The class will be recorded and in-person participants will be shown how to avoid being in the recording if they choose to not be in the recording. All participants (online and in-person) will get access to the recording of the class for 30 days after the end of the class. Please be aware that an online ticket is not valid for an in-person participation. The online part is hosted by Karada House\, the in-person part is hosted by Studio Allegory. \n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\nDate and Time: July 27th & August 3rd 2025\, 10am – 1pm PST (Pacific Standard Time)DOORS OPEN at 9.30 and CLOSE at 10am.
