Performance with A-Nicolas (formerly Yoroï Nicolas)

Performed by Gestalta and Kat Orcutt, with live music by Alex Hawthorn.

Shibari performance often explores intimate and complex dynamics between two people, shared in front of an audience. In “Mirror Stage”, Gestalta sculpts an ever-shifting relationship to self as something simultaneously familiar and alien: reflected in the rope, the tied body, and the stage itself.

Join us for a magical evening as we celebrate the longest night of the year! This cozy gathering invites you to connect with peers and friends in a warm, playful atmosphere, where we honor both desires and boundaries.

This night is for everyone craving an intense and sensual Halloween experience, where boundaries, imagination, and the playful exploration of fear intertwine. Our Halloween party starts with an immersive, interactive performance by Anna Lysee. After the performance, the space transforms into a playful party area. Dare to engage, to explore the unexpected, and to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of this special evening!

We are happy to present two performances, featuring rope & live music by Sunga Konji & Roja.

An improvised rope performance by hua hua and Emily, exploring Semenawa through subtle, quiet, and slow connection.

We are excited to announce our first Life Drawing event, organised by Asimira!

Mie Neko melds body manipulation, power dynamics, semenawa, and a soft yet precise approach into her tying, and draws on her dance background to influence her rope performances, which perfectly compliments Nikoleta’s passion for tying in movement, and immersing herself in deep, dark emotions.

We’re very happy to welcome innovative and creative shibari artist hua hua to Daruma on Friday 21st June to give an improvisational performance. After the performance, we invite you to stay at Daruma for a rope jam until 11.30pm.
