Intro to Self-Suspension
Self suspension presents a different set of challenges and rewards than partner suspension. The ability to push, play, experiment, and tailor is countered by different leverage, drains on strength and stamina, challenging rope handling techniques, and a compromised ability to respond to the unexpected. This class starts with the basics of self suspension, from line...
Rope Bondage is often seen only through one particular lens but what happens if we are looking for similarities in completely different fields? Higher mathematics doesn't seem to have anything in common with rope but a quick look offers a vast variety of tools helpful for rope bondage as it is basically nothing else than...
A poetic journey to and through Barkas’ metaphorical city of Kinbaku. Barkas and Addie guide participants through some of the many meanings with which rope can be imbued. We discuss communication via ropes, movement with ropes, and space in the context of ropes. This journey includes very simple techniques and more elaborate ones alike. Participants...
In Barkas’ approach to rope, what one does with rope is not as important as knowing how or why one does it. In the end, the aim is to move each other’s hearts. Thus, it seems almost obvious to make movement a big part of a rope scene. In Barkas’ City of Kinbaku, there...

Connection is not created by a set of actions, by a particular pose, by close proximity...

What makes a person in ropes proficient and successful? What about a community? How are these related? This class begins by offering concrete, practical, and realistic learning tools for those who like to be tied. It then extrapolates outwards to ask how we might use these tools to (re)structure the way we self-describe, prioritize,...
In this workshop series by Barkas & Addie, the participants are invited to come along on a journey of interpretations. In the Interview Series, we established that tying can be seen as a language in a broader sense. This workshop demonstrates the limits of our language as well as its unexpected possibilities. Since the...
