 Topic :
The most frequent perception of my Kinbaku relayed by the imagery is close to Naka Akira’s Semenawa. Indeed, having been one of the forerunners of this style in the West, my influences are clear. This style, which changed my life and my understanding of ropes, continues to feed my research into Kinbaku and my desire to push my partners to their limits.

At the same time, over the years, I’ve been able to observe the practice of Aibunawa by people I hold in high esteem, and this has questioned me a lot.

Over the last years, I’ve been trying to combine my interpretation of Semenawa with my perception of Aibunawa.

So we’ll talk about the current state of my research and discuss my conception of each of these ways of practising, as well as different ways of interweaving them to make ropes sessions as intense mentally as they can be physically.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who have influenced and continue to influence my vision of ropes, and also the people who have allowed and continue to allow me to do this research and take it forward.

 Pre-requisites :
This workshop is interpersonal and emotional centered, so participants must be used to tie together and have their limits established.

Riggers must know how to tie a propre TK ( any style) and be very comfortable tying in suspension. Models must be used to suspension and very constrictive bondage.

 Material :
A minimum of 8-10 jute ropes, ideally 6mm in diameter and averaging 7-8 meters in length will be required.

 Docvale :
Rigger and owner of Atelier Simonet, Paris
I started to perform and teach shibari in France and internationally in 2012. The psychological aspect of kinbaku being at the center of my practice, when I discovered Naka Akira's semenawa I decided to dedicate myself to it.
Thanks to an assiduous practice with my partners I managed to 1ind a way towards my own style.
The challenge for me is ambitious: to reclaim the values and aesthetics of my predecessors while bringing my own singularities.
To synthetize my vision of kinbaku I would highlight these following issues and desires: "Revisiting the roots of kinbaku, always searching to deepen the intimate and emotional dimension, while integrating and developing more contemporary techniques on security and anatomy."
Today my kinbaku is constantly evolving but always centered on my desire to better perceive and understand others.
Since 2018, I am in charge of Atelier Simonet in Paris, recognized in 2019 as an of1icial Naka style studio by Naka Akira.

I discovered ropes in september 2023. My rope relationship help me realize the impact of rope's manipulation, body placement, contrasts in tying as ways to make it a dialogue between rigger and model. This silent and yet very clear new way of communication has been fascinating me ever since for the emotions I've been living through. I value a lot emotional and psychological security. I’m also tying which is helping me to understand things from a different perspective.
