Workshop: Dynamic Bodies (SOLD OUT)

DYNAMIC BODIES is a full-day advanced workshop for experienced rope pairs and is designed for riggers and models who are ready to explore the more athletic, acrobatic side of rope.
This workshop dives into fast-paced transitions, dynamic suspensions, and the art of navigating intensity with skill, trust, and awareness.

We’ll work with technically demanding sequences that require precision, clear communication, and a high level of physical engagement – especially for the person in the ropes. Together, we’ll explore how to move through shifting states: tension and release, stress and rest, movement and surrender.

This workshop is not about pushing limits for the sake of it – but about expanding your shared capacity to play in the space where challenge meets connection.

Important:
– This is an advanced workshop. Riggers must be confident in suspension line management and quick decision-making.
– Models must be physically prepared and aware of their own limits.
– Both partners should come with a strong foundation and the ability to support each other through demanding work.

Expect a high-energy, hands-on day full of movement, technique, and exploration.

ABOUT THE EDUCATORS
Gorgone (she/they) is a French rope switch and co-founder of Shibari Study. Their method and approach to rope is deeply influenced by their interest and personal practice of conscious movement together with 10+ years of intense professional experience on both sides of the rope.
Their teaching is directed to both riggers and models, guiding them into developing active, conscious and efficient partnerships in order to create safer and more successful rope experiences.

She takes time to deconstruct everything she teaches, from the most basic to the most complex ties, and always addresses both the rope’s and body’s mechanics of a tie or position. Her pedagogy focuses on encouraging and developing technical autonomy, freedom and creativity in the student’s practice while maintaining a fundamental background of safety, knowledge and awareness.

With Gorgone you will not only learn the ‘how’ but also the ‘why’ behind each tie so you can adapt or modify a harness or position to each new partner and situation and fully incorporate it into your own unique practice.

The heart of Gorgone’s tying and teaching is the idea that Shibari is not about “rope – on the body” but about “the body – in rope”.

Alma has been modeling in rope for over seven years, with a deep affinity for both dynamic and semenawa styles. She approaches each scene as a space for beauty, intimacy and surrender. Building on her background as a life-drawing model, she brings a sense of creative body expression and conscious engagement to her rope interactions.
