Teaching

My approach melts different styles and teachings for more than 10 years. As rigger I started of with Osada Steve, Arisue Go, Kamijoo Saki, Frances d’Ath, Barkas and Kinoko. As model I learned with and am inspired by Kasumi Horai, Iroha Shizuki, Akira Naka and Tamandua.

Haus Sommer is a small dojo located in Uferhallen Kulturwerkstatt in Berlin-Wedding, with 7 suspension-points, bamboo suspension, dance floor, and tea kitchen. Please bring comfortable clothes and ropes if you have.

open shibari training april

April: Tuesday 3,10,17,24, 2018, 10-12am

This new class is open to all levels of Shibari/Kinbaku. Its an open training space.
Because tying is needs repetition. To become firm in guiding a partner through a rope session there are many skills to practice. Also the model makes an in depth learning process.
The first hour of the workshop we do q&a and I will answer specific technical question. For example if you always wanted to clarify for example how to secure suspension lines, repeat TK or go through the basics. For new input, I will demo one classical, more advanced figure. The second hour is devoted to your own training.

Please register for this class beforehand:
