UNMISSABLE’S SEMENAWA BONDAGES

✱ THIS WORKSHOP CAN BE TAUGHT FOR TWO LEVELS : SUSPENSION OR PARTIAL-SUSPENSION, DEPENDING ON THE ORGANISER’S PREFERENCE. A COMBINATION OF BOTH CAN ALSO BE CONSIDERED.

In semenawa (ropes of torment), the rigger inflicts both physical and psychological torment on their partner in order to take them out of their comfort zone.

Progressiveness in the way we tie and make a session evolve is very important in semenawa.
Some type of bondage have become quite iconic because they allow a large number of variations which lead to a nuanced progressivity.

We will tie some of these classic positions of semenawa’s suspension in order to discover this way of tying.
This will also be an opportunity to discuss the concept of letting go for the rope bottoms. What do we need to trust our rigger to torment us? How does their behavior contribute to our ability to surrender to our reactions and emotions?

✱ This workshop lasts two days, but a shorter one-day version is also possible.
