Tapiwa (no specific pronouns)
Sex And intimacy educator based out of Cape Town. Focused on showcasing a different interpretation of what rope and intimacy can look like, independent of the doctrine and dogma of Japan and Europe.
Uncurated flow of intimacy building on simple foundational elements of play and expression within a world that is enhanced by but not dependent on rope.
A reminder to create and celebrate joy and silliness and be less serious in play. This workshop and performance are inspired by a childlike ignorance of the perfect and fuelled by reckless imagination. Life is fun.
The first 90+ minutes will be a workshop followed up by a performance with Tapiwa & Gestalta for about the last hour.

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 describes 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 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 pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
