Featured Events
with Misungui and Tree
Misungui has been tying people of varied builds and physical conditions for over 10 years, and through this has developed techniques to adapt the classic forms of shibari to all bodies and abilities, and and also has adapted her way of tying to help herself, as a relatively small rigger.
For her, tying with a stool is not only helpful in these respects, but also opens up a whole new world of playful possibilities!
Misungui’s performances are renowned for their daring and playful nature, and indeed for the charismatic stage presence of Misungui herself.
with Ella and Carson
When we relate to each other, it is inevitable that we will cause harm, but how can we transform these moments of pain into moments of closeness? How can we build a true, embodied, trauma and power aware consensual relationship with ourselves, and bridge that into our friendships? How do we imagine accountability? How can we forgive ourselves when we behave in imperfect and harmful ways?
And what do we dream of when we dream of community?
