Juliette
Juliette discovered shibari in 2016. Her desire to tie emerged quickly as a need to translate the emotions and sensations she experienced in rope. Influenced by aikido and contact improvisation dance, she places the body at the center of her approach, as a medium of transmission.
Juliette has trained with many shibari teachers, each contributing to her understanding through different techniques and perspectives. She blends these influences to develop an organic, ever-evolving style of shibari. From these experiences, she has developed a practice rooted in improvisation, structured chaos, and, above all, a continuous inquiry into what unfolds between two individuals through the meeting of intimacy, body, and rope. She has been teaching shibari for several years, notably in Brussels since 2022.
Her pedagogy focuses on themes that are central to her work: improvisation, movement, and biomechanics. She offers her students an approach to rope based on understanding and personal experience, rather than the reproduction and repetition of fixed forms. Her practice is also deeply connected to a broader artistic approach. She began performing in 2018, exploring the integration of rope into live performance, staging visual tableaux and symbolic compositions, with particular attention to scenography, costumes, and sound. Juliette also collaborates with contemporary dancers, supporting them in integrating rope into their research and choreographic work.
