Magic tricks are micro-techniques that make tying easier, smoother, faster, better… you get the picture. These tidbits cover everything from rope handling, tensioning, body manipulation, or quick tricks to make your life easier. They can be applied to any tying style and are often missed in the teaching of larger patterns or sequences. This class...

Rope Bondage exists in space and time. We need to necessarily tie somewhere but this somewhere is not obvious. Every point in space implies a time, a situation, as well as an orientation, which, in turn implies a direction. In this workshop series we will look at the different spatial and temporal aspects of tying....
Hishis are a diamond pattern that is not only one of the staples of Japanese-inspired rope bondage but also one of the most versatile patterns. Addie will take a long and nerdy look at several hishi-based harnesses, including a hands-free option. The series will include a full-body hishi harness, a split line hishi harness, and...
Barkas and Addie usually teach with the goal of separating the practice of rope from inherent expectations or assumptions of sexual contact. But that does not mean that they do not practice and enjoy sexual rope as well! This 3-part-workshop-series will focus on rope techniques for sex and ideas on how to sexualize ropes....
Arms-behind-the-back positions are common in bondage but many people find them difficult to get into or uncomfortable to maintain for a number of reasons: tight shoulders, rotator cuff issues, muscle or fat density, hypermobility, spine or shoulder alignment, blood flow, etc. This class explores two shoulder-friendly techniques for bringing the arms behind the back, working...

Technically A Suspension
This is a class in opposition to the often high pressures and demands of suspension, where the goal is to find ways to leave the ground without adding complication, physical strain, or pretentiousness. Perhaps we get off the ground for a moment, or a cm, or partly supported on a body/furniture, or using a pulley,...

Intimate Session: Addie & Barkas
This series allows rope facilitators to show participants how they approach intimate sessions, away from modes of teaching or performing. Come and witness an improvised intimate moment amongst people who do rope (pretty well). We will blur the lines of the private and the public, the curated and the improvised. After the session, there is...
In-House
The Single! The Column! The Tie!
Single column ties are the first structure most people learn, the starting point to many ties, the foundation of suspension lines, one of the most pervasive elements of rope play… yet they are hardly ever the centre of teaching attention. This class approaches single columns from a variety of directions - finger techniques to tie...
