MOVEMENT & IMMOBILITY

[ This workshop is the one that best reflects Bänana’s bondage journey and inquiries over the past years.

It has been designed to be highly interactive for both riggers and rope bottoms. ]

We can see a shibari session as a sequence of different steps. The choice of these steps is made as the session progresses, depending on the evolution desired by the rigger in relation to his/her partner. The rigger can for example choose to add ropes, to vary a shape or to create movement and to radically change a position.

During this workshop, I would like us to analyze the possibilities we have to make a session evolve, by observing in our practice the moments of immobility and movements.

We will attach very different types of sessions in order to find ways of thinking about questions such as : What is at play in the immobility for the person tied up? What is the right moment to decide to change position and in what ways can we choose to make a transition?
This workshop is not meant to bring answers but to try to enrich our practice of semenawa with new paths!
