different bodies and scenes, rather than on reproducing a single fixed pattern.
The workshop will include demonstrations, guided practice, time for experimentation, and opportunities to ask questions.
What We Will Cover
- Selecting, preparing, and safely handling short bamboo rods
- Understanding how rigid materials interact with soft tissue, joints, nerves, and circulation
- How to secure limbs to bamboo
- Creating compact limb-folding and compression structures
- Using bamboo to connect or separate different limbs
- Applying leverage to influence posture and restrict movement
- Grounded restraint positions for kneeling, seated, curled, and forward-folded bodies
- Breath-aware compression and the distinction between controlling posture and dangerously restricting breathing
Safety Note
Rigid bamboo can concentrate force more intensely than rope alone. Techniques involving the neck, chest, joints, leverage, or compression require particular care and continuous communication. Breath-related material in this workshop focuses on awareness, posture, pacing, and
consensual modulation of breathing sensations. It is not intended to teach airway obstruction or uncontrolled restriction of breathing.
Participants are encouraged to work slowly, stay within their existing level of experience, adapt all exercises to the needs of the person being tied, and stop immediately if there is numbness, tingling, loss of function, unusual pain, breathing difficulty, panic, or other signs of distress.

More Information
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.
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 space and its marginalized community.
When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement 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.
