Class will begin with a short discussion on the following : how to negotiate a rope scene; consent (including underlying power dynamics stated or implied); safety issues and how to handle them (both casually and in an emergency); physical issues and nerve/circulation information specific to tying.

The class will go over variations on the Ebi / Gyaku Ebi (Shrimp / Frog) ties, using chest and leg harnesses taught previously. In addition we’ll go over (time allowing) how to incorporate things such as : hair ties, crotch rope, breath play.

Lab time afterwards will be available for attendees to practice, ask questions, and get feedback/pointers as needed. Ideally, everyone will leave the event with at least a basic understanding of the class materials.
