Description:

Shibari is the Japanese-inspired practice of aesthetic rope bondage. In this foundational session, students will learn fundamental ties and techniques to begin their rope journey. Though fundamental, these techniques can be combined in uncountable ways to produce elaborate shapes and scenarios. Besides learning technical skills, we will focus on rope bondage as a movement and acrobatic art, with emphasis on flow, aesthetics, and partner connection. This class is appropriate for students that wish to learn shibari as a performing art, or as a private practice. 

Though this class is intended for pairs, individual attendees are welcome, and will have the option to either pair with a tying partner in class or self-tie. Each atendee should sign up separately, even if you are attending with a partner.

Required age: Over 18 years old on the day of the activity

Prerequisites: There are no technical pre-requisites for this class. Students are invited to bring their own rope if they have it. We are available to offer recommendations for vendors for those looking to buy rope, and will have rope available for in-class use and for purchase. Students should follow the general class attire guidelines: clothing items that are easy to move in, and that aren’t baggy.
