“il n’y a pas de hors-texte” – there is no outside of text.
Barkas’ approach to Kinbaku or bondage is one that is rooted outside of rope, outside of kink, and even outside of sexuality. It looks for its ideas in architecture, museums, amusement parks, orchestra rehearsals, and public transportation.
In this workshop series exclusive to Karada house, Barkas will take the participants on a journey through Barkas’ metaphorical city of Kinbaku. We will explore the evolution and current presentation of concepts, old and new, that will enhance participants’ rope play. This workshop follows concepts rather than specific patterns, so participants should expect to come away with thoughts, inspiration, and avenues of exploration, rather than step-by-step progressions.
