Anansi (she/her)

Anansi

Anansi (she/her) believes that rope is an intimate exchange and that exchange doesn’t always require an undertone of seriousness, preferring instead sensuality, attunement and fun. Rope can be playful and even induce laughter rather than enforcing traditional, exclusionary power dynamics. Anansi’s physicality is a major component to her connective tying style. A rope switch who adores getting tied, tying others, and tying herself, Anansi uses rope as a tool to establish and express connection between herself and the person she’s tying with.

    • Intimate Session: Anansi & Ms. Reemah

    10:00 am – 11:30 am CEST · Facilitator: Ms. Reemah, Anansi

    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...

    • Control Theory

    4:00 pm – 5:30 pm CEST · Facilitator: Anansi

    Control is a fundamental aspect of rope play—but what does it truly mean? In this lecture-based class, we will explore the concept of control through the lens of mathematics and engineering-based control theory. By dissecting its principles, we will examine how control applies to rope bondage, from physical tension and balance to psychological and dynamic...

    Ichinawa Considerations

    4:00 pm – 5:30 pm CEST · Facilitator: Anansi, Nyx

    This class delves into Ichinawa, the minimalist and fluid style of shibari that uses a single rope—typically without a fixed pattern—to bind the body. Historically developed with petite, flexible, femme bodies in mind, this class explores how to make Ichinawa accessible, connected, and comfortably uncomfortable for a variety of bodies and intentions. Tying partner: Nyx...

    In-House

    Angles, Lines and Curves

    4:00 pm – 6:00 pm CEST · Facilitator: Anansi, Nyx

    This class will explore the mathematical principles of angles, lines, and curves in rope. Through practical 2D and 3D examples, we will apply these concepts to a variety of bodies, demonstrating how mathematics can inform the accessibility, risk, and aesthetics of rope bondage. We’ll also use them to examine the structural integrity of ties, improvise...

    In-House

    Macro vs Micro Transitions

    12:00 pm – 1:30 pm CEST · Facilitator: Ms. Reemah, Anansi

    In this class we will discuss how to build a suspension scene and go through a transition sequence. We will discuss thought processes, trouble shooting, macro and micro transitions, and communication between top and bottom Workshop partner: Anansi
