You'll be able to learn all the basics of rope in this midweek course taking place over 4 Monday evenings in September. The class will be fun, social and informative, taught in a welcoming and approachable atmosphere.

The class is taught by team members of Anatomie Studio.

You'll learn everything from safety and all the basic techniques, to how to handle rope and how to work with the body. We'll cover a variety of classic patterns, shapes and ties, and get your creativity going regarding rope and play.

Who can come to this class? Are there pre-requisites?

There are no pre-requisites for this course. This class is open to all levels and complete beginners. No rope needed. No experience needed. Switching is allowed throughout the class (tying and being tied).

What should I bring and what do I wear?

We have ropes you can use during the class and we have a communal kitchenette, fridge and microwave. Tea and coffee are free but you should bring your food and snacks (we have plates and cutlery you can use). People usually wear comfortable clothing like yoga or dance attire. We advise against loose fitting clothing and also jeans can sometimes feel a bit restrictive to move around in and difficult to tie on.

Who's teaching this class?

This class is taught by team members Anna Noctuelle and Petite Pretzel:

Petite Pretzel is a rope switch from New York. She has taught shibari at Anatomie Studio London since 2019, as well as abroad for Athens Shibari in Greece, Eurix (European Rope Exchange) in Germany and Shibari Camp in Sweden. She has performed live for Edinburgh Rope Showcase, Drawn to Rope London, Rabbithole Club, Athens Shibari and Fox Badge. Her commercial rigging includes credits for music videos, fashion photography and full-length film. She lives in Bethnal Green with her cat, who loves ropes just as much as she does.

Anna Noctuelle discovered Shibari over 15 years ago and has worked with this art form regularly as a model, performer and teacher across Europe. Her background in dance and her interest in Buddhism and meditation influence her aesthetic and philosophical approach to Shibari. She believes that Japanese rope bondage is a dance of the soul that deserves constant exploring as it can teach you life, vision and maybe even wisdom. She feels most at home inside the ropes and enjoys Semenawa and exploring places where the noise dies away the soul is being whisked away to a place unfamiliar.
