Come and witness the dance of restraint and release from their weekend workshop performed live.
with Burgundy Rose
This workshop will explore innovative ways you can play with self-tying and self-suspension on a single point to create possibilities for fluid movement and dynamic transitions.
We will focus on getting creative with gravity, and over two full days Burgundy Rose will show you a range of partial-suspension and full-suspension shapes and principles you can play with and adapt according to your unique style.

This full weekend workshop will look at how to use movement and body mechanics to create fluid, dynamic and expressive rope scenes both on the ground and in the air. Where rope becomes a dance of restraint and release, of leading and following, control and surrender.
Join us for an immersive two-day workshop where we build upon the foundational skills acquired in the Introduction to Hashira class. This class delves deeper into the art of Hashira, emphasising full suspensions and inversions.
with Natasha NawaTaNeko & Alexander MA
In this Weekend Intensive, we will take a different look at the philosophy and toolbox of “Semenawa”—the style we tie. Essential, it brings together Alexander's kink—erotic impact play with ropes—with Natasha's research of somatic transformations.

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.
Hashira is an iconic prop in Japanese bondage pictures and movies. Practitioners all over Europe are fascinated by the old school aesthetics of a body tied to a wooden post. During this workshop we will differentiate the exercises, on the one hand trying to improve riggers’ hard skills, with a special attention to rope and body handling, using technical ties and formal shapes; on the other hand we will also propose ties that can actually be used in elegantly crude ways. Most exercises will be full suspensions, but also some partials will be taught.
