In this workshop, we move beyond the floor and into the air. The hashira becomes not only an anchor but a suspension point. We will explore how suspension transforms the dialogue between rope, body, and beam: from resigned stillness to to subtle motion, from a tight embrace to playful exposure. You will learn traditional suspension techniques for the hashira. In some ties, we will integrate the hashira with bamboos, extending the
experience from the vertical into the horizontal space.

You don’t need complex suspensions or advanced techniques to create powerful, emotionally rich rope scenes. This workshop is all about exploring what’s possible on the ground - with a focus on simplicity, movement, and sensuality.
In this workshop, we focus on fast and effective ways to restrain your partner using minimal rope. The goal is to create ties that can serve both as a foundation for further development within a rope session and, on their own, as the perfect basis for a wide variety of play
In this one day workshop we will dig into the Hashira experience even without the possibility to tie on a pole. Over the course of this workshop, you will learn how to rig bamboo safely as a vertical suspension point, including the setup of a special, solid hardpoint that allows secure tying onto a moving object.

Breathe. Shift your balance. Walk, weave, occupy the space—and disappear. Now, do it all with your partner, a rope, and the magic of movement. In this workshop, we’ll transform into an organic system: unpredictable yet beautifully organised, learning to move freely and naturally within the ropes.
