SUMMARY:Rope is Political – Opacity
DESCRIPTION:  \nRope is Political is a series of discussions held during the Queerope Berlin 2024 conference.  \nThis session will examine the political pitfalls of valorizing authenticity and viewing sex and kink as innately revealing or tied to “truth telling.” We’ll talk about the political imperative to create and respect opacity in tying. Reveling in artifice over revelation\, in extimacy over intimacy\, this session is a gesture towards the importance of a sexuality no longer driven by forensic desire. \n  \nFormat: discussion \nMinimum knowledge level: – \nparticipants: as many as fit \nWhat to bring: pen & paper \nConstellations: all constellations welcome \nAccessibility: we’ll be sitting on the floor\, adaptations can be made \n

SUMMARY:Fundamentals 3: Devising and Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:  \nFundamentals is a series within the Queerope Berlin 2024 conference that goes back to the basics and way beyond. Andrea Rimon will re-define what the fundamentals of rope are and offer classes suited for beginners as well as anyone who wants to go back to a beginner mindset and/or approach the beginnings again in a completely new way. \nWhat does it mean to think of tying fundamentals outside of just learning frictions\, patterns\, and general BDSM social mores? This class series will be an exploration of what it means to build a queer trying practice that takes less for granted. Drawing on techniques taken from physical theater\, dance\, contact improvisation\, and other movement arts\, we will think deeply about what it means to think of tying not just as a sexual practice\, but as a form of collectively devised experience with ties to art\, politics\, and the rest of life. \nIn this class\, we’ll take a look at applying a variety of devising techniques to tying. Working from source material (Andrea will bring some images and texts as inspiration\, but participants will be more than free welcome to work from whatever) or focusing on a particular idea\, participants will develop and map out a small scene. We’ll devote significant time tying with qualities and in genres not commonly seen in tying. Andrea will be there to facilitate along the way and provide exercises\, considerations\, and feedback. \nPartner: Layal \n  \nFormat: workshop\, discussion \nMinimum knowledge level: – \nparticipants: 8 \nWhat to bring: ropes\, pen and paper \nConstellations: all constellations welcome \nAccessibility: classes will have a significant portion of discussion\, so we are switching from being on the floor to occasionally standing \n

SUMMARY:Performance: Observations
DESCRIPTION:  \nTo observe means to watch over\, to note\, to heed\, to look to\, to attend to\, to guard\, to regard\, or to comply with.\nIt comes from ob – “in front of\, before” together with servare – “to watch or keep safe” \nBut the observer is not just outside and without influence on the observed. We observe each other and the audience observes us as well as we observe the audience. \nPartner: Emmy \n  \nFormat: performance \nMinimum knowledge level: – \nMaximum amount of participants: – \nWhat to bring: – \nConstellations: – \nAccessibility: We will be sitting on the floor.

SUMMARY:Rope Handling for Communication
DESCRIPTION:  \nRope bondage suffers from an arbitrary separation of tying skills and communication skills.

SUMMARY:Can You Breathe?
DESCRIPTION:  \nDuring a bondage session\, the breathing of the tied up person is often impacted. A simple chest harness can become real torture when breathing in certain positions.\nThe rope is a perfect tool for breath play. The rigger can play with his or her partner’s breathing on different spots: mouth\, throat\, ribcage\, abdomen… \nAfter we familiarize ourselves with the precautions to be taken\, we’ll experiment with effective ways of obstructing the air column… \nBreath play is a powerful means of communication in ropes. In this course\, we’ll explore the reactions and emotions that breath play can induce on your partner\, so that we can use it appropriately in a rope session. \nPartner: Sixtine \n  \nFormat: hands-on workshop & demo \nMinimum knowledge level: person tying must know how to tie structured harness and tie uplines. Person getting tied must be used to floorwork at least. Bänana’s ropes style could be related to semenawa (ropes of torment). You need to be comfortable with this kind of dynamic. It’s important to have already discussed the framework of your practice (desires\, intentions\, limits\, ways of managing consent) \nMaximum amount of participants: 12 pairs \nWhat to bring: 8-10 ropes\, safety equipment \nConstellations: partnered \nAccessibility: Perhaps if you’re prone to claustrophobia or anxiety linked to lack of air\, you should think carefully before signing up

We’ll discuss the value and method of diagramming ties and the value of being able to create repeatable\, iterable choreography\, even for those who have a practice that does not involve tying for performance and where most scenes are improvised. \nPartner: Layal \n  \nFormat: workshop\, discussion \nMinimum knowledge level: – \nparticipants: 8 \nWhat to bring: ropes\, pen and paper \nConstellations: all constellations welcome \nAccessibility: classes will have a significant portion of discussion\, so we are switching from being on the floor to occasionally standing\, this class will focus on a standing pattern that involves the arms and being taken off balance.

SUMMARY:Wild Card: Holding space to hold people (Louise)
DESCRIPTION:  \nWild Cards are open slots that can be filled by participants and facilitators of Queerope alike.  \n  \nHow do you hold space for rope? Whether it’s smaller more private events\, or larger classes or jams\, let’s hold space to discuss the modalities of facilitating for rope. \nThe format of this Wild Card is a collaborative chat between the participants. \nAll perspectives and experiences in holding space are welcome (I don’t actually have any!) so we can find together what makes the spaces and events we actually want to attend; and maybe figure out how to become the facilitators we want to see in the world. \n  \nFormat: discussion \nMinimum knowledge level: – \nparticipants: as many as fit \nWhat to bring: opinions! \nConstellations: all constellations welcome \nAccessibility: we will be sitting on the floor but adjustments can be made \n

How does our rigger’s behavior contribute to our ability to surrender to our reactions and emotions? \nPartner: Sixtine \n  \nFormat: hands-on workshop \nMinimum knowledge level: As a minimum\, peopel tying must master a single column tie\, double column tie\, counter tension and X-friction. The person being tied must have had some previous experience with ropes. \nMaximum amount of participants: 12 pairs \nWhat to bring: 6-8 ropes\, safety equipment \nConstellations: pairs \nAccessibility: This class is not suited for people (both rigger and model) who cannot sit for an extended period. \nModel in the photo: Mae Boy

SUMMARY:Fundamentals 1: Building a Practice
DESCRIPTION:  \nFundamentals is a series within the Queerope Berlin 2024 conference that goes back to the basics and way beyond. Andrea Rimon will re-define what the fundamentals of rope are and offer classes suited for beginners as well as anyone who wants to go back to a beginner mindset and/or approach the beginnings again in a completely new way. \nWhat does it mean to think of tying fundamentals outside of just learning frictions\, patterns\, and general BDSM social mores? This class series will be an exploration of what it means to build a queer trying practice that takes less for granted. Drawing on techniques taken from physical theater\, dance\, contact improvisation\, and other movement arts\, we will think deeply about what it means to think of tying not just as a sexual practice\, but as a form of collectively devised experience with ties to art\, politics\, and the rest of life. \nThis hands-on and discussion based class will delve into what it means to cultivate an intentional tying practice. We’ll talk about Andrea’s approach to the necessary and contradictory processes of movement patterning and deconstruction and how we can build towards a style that reflects our interests and politics in its very fundamentals. We’ll dive into deloading and deroling techniques from intimacy coordination and choreography to think through what it means to aim for sustainable tying practice that has room to deal with fraught topics and unexpected responses. \nPartner: Layal \nFormat: workshop\, discussion \nMinimum knowledge level: – \nparticipants: 8 \nWhat to bring: ropes\, pen and paper \nConstellations: all constellations welcome \nAccessibility: classes will have a significant portion of discussion\, so we are switching from being on the floor to occasionally standing \n
