Japanese Rope Bondage
PLAYFUL FLOORWORK
In this course, we go from the basics of rope into the world of floorplay, learning techniques to add a new level of connection between you and your partner through sensations, tension, speed, positions, as well as adding new tools, both tangible (such as small bamboos) and the intangible (such as music or emotion). Learn how the speed of the rope sliding across the skin can affect the mood, how a single point of tension can be the difference between a rope cuddle and suffering, and how you can use a suspension point as a third “arm” to make even the most simple ties more impactful.
The playful floorwork course is focused on teaching ties and techniques to enhance playing with each other on the floor. Some ties will include partial suspensions, but always with some part of the body on the floor, in order to keep the focus on the play and dynamics of the pair, rather than the more technical aspects for full suspensions.
We will explore different aspects of floorwork, including:
Rope dynamics - using motion, body positioning, and polarity
Using sensations for pleasure and pain
Predicament play
Incorporating additional tools to enhance the rope experience
WHO IS THIS FOR
Riggers: You who have the basics of tying down (you have taken the Beginner course or equivalent experience, and can confidently tie beginner patterns including a gote (chest tie), single and double column ties, and suspension uplines.
