The morning: ‘The Start’ workshop
You will lay the groundwork for your own practice and development, to play with rope. Looking at the complete basics, like:
- material
- safety
- anatomy
- basics knots
- communication
This workshop is suitable if you have never (been) tied before, but also if you want to refresh your knowledge.
> Bondage skills
- You’ll learn a number of basic knots and ties with which you can experiment and combine endlessly.
- We look at which materials are suitable: which types of rope, possible accessories that come in handy.
- Butterfly discusses anatomy and safety: what risks should you avoid, what do you pay attention to during your scene, what signals from the body should you take seriously, what about nerves and any physical risks, how do you check during the interaction if your partner is okay?
----------------------------------------------
The afternoon: ‘Tying the upper body’ workshop
You will learn new ways to tie your partner up: several rope structures on the upper body. We tie the torso with and without arms included. Here’s a few examples of what we will go through during this workshop:
- A one rope box-tie, the "takate kote" (arms bent, tied behind the back)
- Ways to tie up the arms separately
- Ways to combine everything you've learnt during the day
PLUS: we always adjust the bondages to the possibilities and limitations to your specific body. So even if you have an injury, you’re welcome to join!
