* BEYOND THE SHAPES :
[ This workshop is a new 2days WS ! ]
Some bondage positions in semenawa are well known not only for their intensity, but because they offer many possible variations and a clear sense of progression. In this workshop, we’ll take time to explore a few of these classic forms.
Instead of focusing on the final shape, we’ll look at how they are built and what they create to the tied person. I’ll share how I think when I tie: how I make choices, and let one movement lead to the next. The aim is not to reproduce a figure perfectly, but to understand it well enough to adapt it and make it your own.
Once we’ve explored the form, we’ll begin to move beyond it. How can we step away from what is known without losing meaning? What happens when the iconic becomes personal ? when the figure becomes a starting point rather than a goal?
We’ll also take time to consider what it means for both partners to engage with intensity, to stay present when things feel uncertain, and to build the kind of trust that makes real responses possible.
* BÄNANA (she / her) : Bänana, a ten-year bondage enthusiast, found her passion in shibari in 2017, drawn to its raw and authentic nature. As she has always been fascinated by the expression of emotions, shibari, and more specifically semenawa has opened up a new path of exploration to her. She began to follow Docvale’s teaching in November 2018, later partnering with him to co- manage Atelier Simonet in Paris until summer 2023. Bänana considers that in order to tie well, we must understand each of our technical choices rather than learning the instructions by heart. She gives to her students a solid grounding so they can feel free while tying and put these technical abilities at the service of the relationship with their partners.
Being in ropes is also something to be apprehended. Not that you have to behave in any particular way. On the contrary, every tied-up person has to find the way that pleases him or her. It's also a long journey full of questions and emotions, and it seems important to Bänana that all this is taken into account during her courses. Bänana's courses are so often highly interactive, with the idea that everyone should have a place to ask questions and express their experiences and feedback in order to grow together in this practice.
Bänana created La Cabäne during winter 2024.
* Bänana's partner will be announced
What level is required?
This course is suitable for riggers who are comfortable tying in suspension. Having already been tied several times in suspension is necessary for the models.
Communication being a central element in shibari it is always preferable to come with a partner with whom you already practice in order to allow a good experience. It's important to have already discussed the framework of your practice (desires, intentions, limits, ways of managing consent).
What equipment do I need?
A minimum of 10-12 jute ropes (or hemp eventually), ideally 6mm in diameter and averaging 7-8 meters in lenght will be required + safety shears.
What is the cancellation policy?
If you cancel more than 2 weeks in advance, we will refund your ticket. If you cancel later, we will try to resell your ticket. If this is not possible, we will not be able to reimburse you. If you'd prefer you can buy the billetweb's insurance.
