A sweet trip to Leipzig teaching at Zimmt Festival. Always appreciating the advance of trust by workshop participants and retrospectively think that teaching bondage is actually about holding a playful and respectful soul space for me.
A determined time in which bodily encounters are allowed and warmly accompanied, similar to a dance class, just that it is about the restriction of the body, or the invisible movements. Of course people learn the rope techniques and a kind of scripted ritual of a rope bondage session. Mostly though the space holder legitimises meeting the longtime partner again, or a new person on a bodily level (and of course not only). Learning about desires, borders or thresholds and interact beyond the verbal via rope. An object which allows extreme proximity, but also puts a temporal space in between the practitioners. After 20 years of teaching, exchanging and mutual growing it is still the connecting moment with people, and observing the mind shifting process even in a basic introduction workshop. Thanks ‚Zimmt‘ for this lovely invite!
