One of the most curious things about rope bondage is that it has grown in such a way that neither rope nor bondage is its most central aspect.

As we begin our journey into the world of knots, frictions, and tension controls, it is worthwhile to pause and ask why we tie in the first place. In this workshop, we will introduce a series of movement and rope exercises that explore a wide set of communicational resources in tying. Thematically, they are an exploration into our relationships with each other. Technically, they make use of some fundamental rope handling and tensioning skills.

We welcome absolute beginners to use this workshop as the beginning of their rope journey, as well as experienced practitioners to come back to the basics and contemplate what brought us to tying in the first place.
