This is an open gym shibari session for folks to practice skills they already know, to share knowledge and techniques, and to build and connect with other folks in the shibari rope community. This is not a play party, but rather a place to hone your shibari skills. We have plenty of hard points available, and a lovely red curtain backdrop for folks wanting to get pictures.

Shibari is the Japanese-inspired practice of aesthetic rope bondage. In this foundational session, students will learn fundamental ties and techniques to begin their rope journey. Though fundamental, these techniques can be combined in uncountable ways to produce elaborate shapes and scenarios. Besides learning technical skills, we will focus on rope bondage as a movement and acrobatic art, with emphasis on flow, aesthetics, and partner connection. This class is appropriate for students that wish to learn shibari as a performing art, or as a private practice. Attendees can attend solo or as a couple.
Hosted out of a circus school, this class is ideal for folks that want to explore shibari in a non-kink environment.
