Predicaments are all about playing with the balance between endurance, threat and impossible decisions. This workshop explores how to create scenes that engage the body and the mind — where every movement comes with a consequence, and the person being tied must constantly choose between effort and surrender.

with Stefano Taiuti

Throughout over 30 years Stefano explored the body in motion as an expressive tool, studying with internationally renowned Mime teachers and Butoh masters and thus developing his own methodology. “The Spiritual Mechanism” is a unique approach to dance and self discovery that integrates western movement analyses focusing on the visible, and Butoh to explore the invisible, the subtle, what is behind the movement and generates it.

Our 6 week courses for shibari beginners run every Tuesday from our studio in Neukölln, Berlin. Both levels are taught in English by one of our regular in-house teachers.

The goal of these classes is to facilitate regular, structured shibari practice, that aims to go deep rather than broad, helping you to develop a really firm grasp of rope bondage basics, build muscle memory, and get to know other participants.

Towards Suspension (Step 3): Uplines, Partials and Crafting a Rope Session is a 6-week shibari course designed for those who are ready to start learning (partial-)suspensions. This closed-group format fosters a supportive learning environment, allowing you to build connections with peers at a similar skill level.

with Anna Lysee

A laboratory for simple yet powerful single-rope techniques and patterns – perfect as standalone moments or as the finishing touch to your scenes. Together we will explore not only versatile ties and playful patterns that are easy to learn, adaptable and full of character, but also discover how one rope can create rhythm, flow and dynamic connection throughout a session.

Finding new rope partners, friends and community.

You are welcome to come to the unpartnered rope jam, even if you are not attending the rope speed dating.

with Anna Lysee

This 4-hour class opens a door to the world of tying: first knots, first structures, first moments in which rope becomes a connection. In this beginner's class, we combine technique with what happens between the persons involved – physically, emotionally, socially – and give space for creative experimentation. ESSENTIALS provides you with solid tools, an understanding of safety and dynamics as well as the spark that turns technique into play.
