SUMMARY:Shibari Live Drawing
DESCRIPTION: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.  \nOn 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.  \nIn two Shibari performances by different Shibari practitioners from the community\, the participants will meet different body types every time.  \nAll 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).  \n\n\n\n\n\n

With the Sun as our ally\, we will magic and play with pace\, momentum and illuminating (what the Sun does best!) our desires. \nA guided rope or alternative play/movement practice will be a part of this ritual. \nThis ritual is experiential. Everything is truly optional and will be explained along the way.

SUMMARY:Intro to Shibari
DESCRIPTION:Intro to Rope Bondage is the first step for people interested in learning to tie with each other. \nThe emphasis of this course is to accompany the participants on their path into a joyful and safe practice of rope bondage\, Shibari/Kinbaku. We go through basic techniques\, knots & frictions\, safety and consent\, movement\, communication\, and artistic representation. Participants will be able to tie with each other in a joyful and interesting way. We understand each class as directed at both\, the person in ropes as well as the person tying. \nCurriculum \n\n\n1st Friday per month: Single & Double column ties. The basic knots\n2nd Friday per month: Frictions and Hitches. How to keep the ropes in place \n3rd Friday per month: Upper body ties with multiple ropes – “Takate Kote”\n4th Friday per month: Lower body ties – Hip harnesses\n5th Friday per month: Wild card\n\nAll classes contain various aspects of safety and consent for shibari and other play.  \nParticipants of the intro to rope series have free access to the open jam directly after the class.

SUMMARY:Einstein\, Newton\, and Archimedes walk in to a dungeon
DESCRIPTION:Physics is in all of our play\, whether we know it or not and whether we understand it or not. From the forces involved in rope suspensions\, to the difference of elastic and inelastic collision in impact play\, from the torque of a fucking machine\, to the thermodynamics of body fluids: why not use these principles to our advantage? Can we use them to enhance our experiences? Of course we can! \nIn this class we won’t solve equations (unless you are into it). But we will cover \n\nNewton’s laws (I\, II\, & III)\nArchimedes’ principle of leverage\nFriction and pressure\nA bit of fluid dynamics (Bernoulli)\nA bit of thermodynamics\n\nas applied to the most common kinky activities with a focus on rope bondage. \nThis class is hybrid\, that means\, we will have tickets for in-house participants as well as virtual participants. All participants get access to the recording of the class for 14 days after the class. \nFor any questions\, please feel free to reach out to us.

SUMMARY:Shibari - Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:In this training\, we take the participants on a journey into the details of Shibari. Floorwork\, suspensions\, movement\, and communication are at the centre in this training series. \nEach month\, we develop the skills via one dedicated rope pattern\, which means that participants will work on the same pattern for a complete month. That helps solidifying the pattern as well as filling your toolboxes for elaborate and diverse rope scenes.

SUMMARY:Touch Me Hold Me Let Me Go
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores breath\, impulse\, voice and movement through a somatic algorithm called Touch Me Hold Me Let Me Go\, developed by Lee Su-Feh from years of research and practice as a choreographer and teacher of voice and movement.   \nTouch Me Hold Me Let Me Go helps you speak and move from a place of support and ease. It is a tool to practice making requests and stating boundaries from an embodied place. Participants can expect to roll around on and off the floor; tune in to their breath and voice; and explore consent and permission around touch. Embedded in the work is ongoing attention to pain and injury\, as well as permission to rest. Pleasure and care will be our compass in this work. At Studio Allegory\, this workshop will be followed by a conversation with Georg Barkas about its applications in rope play.  \n  \nTMHMLMG is \nAn algorithm for dancing with the planet. \nAn algorithm for dancing with your beloved. \nAn algorithm for dancing from enough-ness. \nTo practice love in the midst of distress\, \nTo practice care in the midst of distress

SUMMARY:Shibari - Intro to suspensions
DESCRIPTION:You’ve taken the Intro classes\, you know your single column from your double\, and you’re ready for more. Intro to suspensions builds the foundations for a wide variety of skills beyond the basics. \nIn these sessions\, we slow things down and build the skills to help you become confident\, capable rope players. You’ll refine your techniques\, explore simple patterns with more intention\, and start working with connection\, communication. We offer a mix of hands-on guidance\, practical exercises\, and space to ask the questions that don’t quite fit into an intro class. \nPerfect for anyone who wants to solidify their fundamentals\, deepen their understanding\, and feel ready to step into our full range of rope offerings. \nCome build confidence\, control\, and creativity — one knot at a time.

SUMMARY:Shibari Live Drawing
DESCRIPTION: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.  \nOn 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.  \nIn two Shibari performances by different Shibari practitioners from the community\, the participants will meet different body types every time.  \nAll 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).  \n\n\n\n\n\n
