Friday, May 1st 9pm

at Red Pavilion

Enter the tantalizing embrace of the of the Wicked City, the seductive sister show to Lust Caution, where the glamour of burlesque and cabaret beckons a night of forbidden pleasures. As you enter, the world outside fades away, replaced by the shimmer of sequins, the tease of feathers, and the soft glow of spotlight.

April 15th! My schedule is open for scheduling lessons and sessions in May.

Monday May 4th, 7-10pm

at Temple

An in-depth course for riggers on how to responsibly build and manage uplines.  This class is for those confident in harness building and rope handling who are ready to start working on static partial suspensions, or experienced riggers who want a review. This class is for individual tyers, not pairs.

As time allows, the class will also look at: neat upline burning, crunching and un-crunching uplines, and other aesthetic considerations.

Thursday, May 7th 8:45pm

Enter the Void is a ritual evening of shibari and psychedelic gong immersion - an invitation to descend, gently, out of the noise and into the body's quieter frequencies.

Rope bondage artists Sydona Rogue and Vanilla Honey entwine their practices with the amplified electro-acoustic gong and sustained drone of percussionist and sound healer Samer Ghadry to guide audiences toward sensation, aural perception, and trance.

Named for Gaspar Noé's film, Enter the Void borrows its spirit of dissolution. Overtones swell and dissolve, drones stretch and seemingly bend time, and the body becomes newly porous to sound. Rope binds, reveals, and transforms. The gong does not merely accompany the action, but saturates it, turning the room into a vessel for listening, sensation, and altered awareness.

Monday May 11th, 7-10pm

at Hit Me Up

How to use movement to your advantage within the scope of a rope scene, through the lens of a contemporary dancer.

This is a task based workshop exploring how rope can help or hinder movement in your rope scene, informed by contemporary improvisational dance techniques. In this class, participants will discover how body handling, physical manipulation, intentional touch, and body to body contact can facilitate deeper connection and smoother scene setting within your rope practice. 

While all levels of rope and dance experience are welcome, please note that there will be very little explicit instruction on how to tie specific frictions or patterns. This class is meant to expand and inform your existing rope and/or movement practice.

Thursday May 21st, 7-10pm

at Temple

A monthly study group for folks working in suspension wishing to hone their skills in a collaborative setting.

Each month, the group will be presented with a new shape, sequence, concept, or pattern to work on.  The class will work through the “project”, with the collective support of the group for ideas and problem solving. In the last part of the class, the group will come together to discuss what worked well and what didn’t, reviewing and discussing successes, changes, adaptations, and so on.

This offering is meant for pairs confident with their technical skills, please see prerequisites at the link below.

at Temple

with Syd and Claire!

The Hang is temple's rope jam. An unstructured but supervised opportunity for shared rope shenanigans. 

This is not an educational event, and all experience levels are welcome to join. Please be mindful of tying within your skill level or asking for support if needed.
Bring your own rope and rigging equipment if you plan on suspending. We will set up suspension points both on bamboo and rings.
