(R)open stage is an event where the Karada House rope community comes on stage. You can sign up as a performer, or come witness your friends and buddies to be as they take their first (or twentieth) steps into being on stage. This is a performance evening by the community, for the community.
For performers
Are you curious about being on stage with rope? Or just an exhibitionist? Did you come up with a cool idea for a bondage performance but don’t know where to try it out? This is an event, where YOU get to be on stage and be seen. It’s ideal for first time performers and testing raw ideas. Your performance can be anything from a cute and cozy floor tie to a big and flashy group suspension. Only your imagination is the limit!
To sign up as a performer, register here (you don’t need to buy a ticket)

Note: Door opens at 6.45pm and closes at 7.15 pm: No entry after that.

Who is this event for?
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid,
Friends describe people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community.
When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgment to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender-straight privileges.
Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
