EVENT DETAILS:

In this workshop by Pauline, they will focus on advanced suspensions focusing on the bottom/model perspective, needs, limitations and preferences.

With this focus, there are so many possibilities to play with our rope partner as well to learn and grow. How we can improve our listening skills, truly negotiating a common ground without losing our authentic desires.

This workshop is both suitable for intermediate to advanced tying and rope bottoms/models. It’s required that both models and riggers do have a minimum experience tying and being tied, preferable together.

While we will have some group work and share our experiences, Pauline will also do technical and practical exercises to help each participant on their own specific experience, besides the common ground we all share together experiencing ropes collectively.

Rope and suspension gear are at the couple's usual needs. Preferable extra ropes too. Participants can suspend on their preferred points type (carabiners, ring or bamboo if possible).

Pauline Massimo is an artist, teacher, organizer and space holder from Brazil based in Barcelona, Spain. They started a non-stop journey into Shibari back in 2012 and have been working full time as an instructor and performer since. Their approach and interest in investigating rope bondage in general is based on the Japanese root of this practice but always open to experiment and think outside of the box, they look for smoothness and master the skills, work into a collaborative and thoughtful process of how ropes can affect each other's lives.
