SUMMARY:Fundamentals 1: Building a Practice
DESCRIPTION:  \nFundamentals is a series within the Queerope Berlin 2024 conference that goes back to the basics and way beyond. Andrea Rimon will re-define what the fundamentals of rope are and offer classes suited for beginners as well as anyone who wants to go back to a beginner mindset and/or approach the beginnings again in a completely new way. \nWhat does it mean to think of tying fundamentals outside of just learning frictions\, patterns\, and general BDSM social mores? This class series will be an exploration of what it means to build a queer trying practice that takes less for granted. Drawing on techniques taken from physical theater\, dance\, contact improvisation\, and other movement arts\, we will think deeply about what it means to think of tying not just as a sexual practice\, but as a form of collectively devised experience with ties to art\, politics\, and the rest of life. \nThis hands-on and discussion based class will delve into what it means to cultivate an intentional tying practice. We’ll talk about Andrea’s approach to the necessary and contradictory processes of movement patterning and deconstruction and how we can build towards a style that reflects our interests and politics in its very fundamentals. We’ll dive into deloading and deroling techniques from intimacy coordination and choreography to think through what it means to aim for sustainable tying practice that has room to deal with fraught topics and unexpected responses. \nPartner: Layal \nFormat: workshop\, discussion \nMinimum knowledge level: – \nparticipants: 8 \nWhat to bring: ropes\, pen and paper \nConstellations: all constellations welcome \nAccessibility: classes will have a significant portion of discussion\, so we are switching from being on the floor to occasionally standing \n

SUMMARY:Stop. Hammer Time!
DESCRIPTION:Hammers are surprisingly versatile tools. \nIn this class\, we’ll focus on more than impact and you’ll learn more than how to safely choose target areas and safely gauge the force with which you’re hitting. \nWe’ll cover how to use every part of a hammer or mallet for pressure points\, impact\, or body manipulation. The most fun bits might surprise you. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  December 3rd\, 2021\, 7pm-9pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop / demonstration \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to bring:  a hammer (one-handed)\, no hatchets! \nSolo or partnered? Both is fine. If you wish to hammer along\, you need a partner (everybody needs a ticket) \nClass recording: Yes. The session will be recorded and available for 14 days after the workshop. The participants will not be recorded. \n  \nWhat we will teach/do \n– discussion of safety \n– methods of impact \n– ways of creating and varying patterns \n– scooping and limb capture methods \n– brief overview of how all of the above can be used to build dynamic scenes \n  \nWhat else to know \nAfter your successful ticket purchase\, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. \nIf you cannot afford this event\, please check the ticket option “solidarity” for reduced ticket prices. If that is still too much or they are out of stock\, feel free to send us a message via info@karada-house.de

SUMMARY:Introduction to Articulation in Rope
DESCRIPTION:What is articulation? \nSomething you might be more familiar with than you think. In tying\, articulation involves where and how events and arcs begin and end. Articulation is involved in the difference taking an appropriate amount of time for every single action while tying\, but also making sure that tying doesn’t become boring\, homogenous\, and bland. “Articulation\,” although often in a different set of terms is what most teachers are thinking about when they tell their students to “slow down.” \nUnderstanding articulation is vital for anyone interested in tying. Although rarely discussed\, the ability to break down and analyze movement is one of the most fundamental skills of the practice. Articulation is an important component of any movement analysis. \nDrawing on physical theater exercises\, Andrea Rimon will help students explicitly identify points of articulation and refine their ability to break down scenes as well as to make intentional choices. This class will be a study on how to make each moment count. In addition to drawing on exercises and techniques from physical theater\, we will take a broad theoretical approach that touches on anatomy\, linguistics\, and semiotics to examine where concepts of articulation align. Taking all of these ideas together\, they will explore articulation as the nexus of content and expression\, an important and politically charged site of creativity production. \nIn other words\, they will help students identify\, grow familiar with\, and engage in play with something that is part and parcel of any good tying experience. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 8\, 2021\, 7pm-10pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop / demonstration \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to bring: ropes and a partner if you wish to tie along \nSolo or partnered? Both is fine. If you wish to tie along\, you need a partner (everybody needs a ticket) \nClass recording: Yes. The session will be recorded and available for 14 days after the workshop. The participants will not be recorded. \n  \nWhat else to know \nAfter your successful ticket purchase\, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. \nIf you cannot afford this event\, please check the ticket option “solidarity” for reduced ticket prices.

SUMMARY:Andrea Rimon: Tying\, Performance\, and Family Abolition
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn this session\, Andrea Rimon will look at tying as a performing art and discuss the performing arts as an integral part of a family abolitionist project. Drawing on the theoretical work of Paul Preciado\, Andrea Dworkin\, and others\, Rimon will assert the importance of building resources for embodied education outside of family structures. After a broad discussion and analysis of several dance and physical theatrical traditions\, Andrea will facilitate an open discussion of this personal\, political\, and important intersection.  \n  \nThis session is part of the Queer Practices / Queer Embodiment remote transdisciplinary conference that aims to bring together artists\, theorists\, and practitioners. The conference continues our work of building a community that is focused on intentionally developing bodily practices. We want our space to be a place for political growth and experimentation using all the materials that bodywork\, sex education\, and cultural inquiry can provide. \nWe aim to take advantage of the opportunity for an online conference. We seek to engage a broader audience that may be familiar with sex-positive culture but is not necessarily attuned to a wider set of political concerns\, or approaches to gender and sexuality that are more often encountered within academic\, activist\, and artistic spaces. We want to put together a conference that will be open to the public and focus on fostering challenging yet accessible conversation. \nQueer Practices / Queer Embodiment is curated and organized by a collaborative team consisting of Andrea Rimon (an intimacy choreographer and movement artist) and Georg Barkas (a tying and sexuality educator) and Karada House in Berlin (a queer art/research space). It is sponsored by Karada House and Github for Good. \nYou can browse the full program and get access to this session/the conference here \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 1st\, 2021\, 9:30 pm -11:30pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: transdisciplinary conference \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English\, automated closed captions provided \nRecording: yes\, will be available for 30 days to the participants of the conference \n  \nWhat else to know \nAfter your successful ticket purchase\, you will be sent an email with all the necessary data for this event. \nThis event is free. You can also choose a payment for your ticket which will be used by Karada House to finance similar events in the future.

SUMMARY:What is Sexuality Anyway?
DESCRIPTION:We are quick to examine and discuss our sexualties. But\, the notion of “sexuality” is something we take for granted.

SUMMARY:Queer Rope Historiography
DESCRIPTION:In this class Apikoros will talk about and challenge the current dominant historiographies of rope\, and will call attention to how little is known about rope history outside of Japan. Apikoros will focus on queer representations of rope during the Showa period\, noting that Japanese sources actually display a far greater mix of queer and straight content than one would expect. There will also be time to pivot to a discussion of the complicated transnational and colonial context. \nThe goal of the class is to sit with some of the complication of tying’s past and to open conversation to how paying attention to the historical particulars can allow us to think about rope and sexuality in new ways\, elaborating the value of the queer retrosexual gesture in both questioning narratives about progress and finding new ways to exist. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  February 20th\, 2021\, 8-10pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat:  discussion (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring:  – \nSolo or Partnered:  both (each participant needs a ticket) \nClass recording: yes\, the recording will be available for 14 days after the event. \n  \nWhat else to know \nAfter your successful ticket purchase\, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. \nIf you cannot afford this event\, please check the ticket option “solidarity” for reduced ticket prices.
