A sweet trip to Leipzig teaching at Zimmt Festival. Always appreciating the advance of trust by the group. Retrospectively think that teaching bondage is often about holding a curious space which legitimates forms of playful and consensual rope work or bdsm. A determined time in which bodily encounters are allowed and warmly accompanied while exploring liminal desires. I am using similar tools as in dance classes, the dynamic just unfolds opposite way: from movement to restriction. Or from shaping the contours to internal and emotional movement. People learn rope techniques and a sort of scripted ritual of a rope bondage session. Learning about desires, borders or thresholds and interact beyond the verbal via rope. A material 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!
Festival for Multisensorical Perception
3D Audio Concerts, Exhibitions, Workshop and Lectures
From November 25 to December 4, the sens taktil festival will focus on the overlaps and interactions between the experience of touch and the experience of hearing: in the rooms of ZiMMT and on the grounds of Kontor 80, we invite you to a joint multi-sensory, synaesthetic exploration in which the boundaries between art and the viewer become blurred. In audiovisual concerts with 3D sound or in an ASMR performance, on sound loungers or in walk-in and touchable installations of the tactile exhibition, in workshops, in the festival sauna or on the tactile path, experiences are created that can be heard and felt.
