π SHIBARI QUEER ROPE SALON /// KINBAKU OPEN STUDIO JAM
A Rope Salon where queerness is the norm, not the exception. πͺ’β¨
Our Queer Rope Salon takes the relaxed, open-format spirit of our Rope Salon Open Studio and dedicates the evening to the LGBTQI+ community and the beautiful spectrum of queer bodies, genders, sexualities and ways of relating.
Come to tie, be tied, switch, self-tie, practise, experiment, watch, talk, connect, or simply spend time in the space.
No class. No performances. No pressure to play.
Just people gathering around rope, trust, creativity, connection and expression.
π A QUEER-CENTRED ROPE SPACE
Lesbian β’ Gay β’ Bi β’ Pan β’ Queer β’ Trans β’ Non-binary β’ Gender-diverse β’ Ace β’ Intersex β’ Poly β’ ENM β’ and beyond labels
Come solo, with friends, with a partner, lovers or your polycule.
You don't need to arrive with a rope partner. We can't guarantee you'll find someone to tie with, but we create a warm, social environment where conversations and connections can happen naturally.
Whether you've been tying for years, you're developing your practice, or you're simply curious about rope, you're welcome to come and experience the space.
Different bodies. Different identities. Different ways of loving and relating.
At Ropejam, difference isn't something we simply accommodate.
We celebrate it. π
πΈοΈ THE ROPE SALON
The studio is yours to explore.
We have:
- πͺ’ 8 suspension points
- Hashira, our freestanding metal post
- Soft cushioned floor
- Ambient lighting and music
- Communal ropes if you don't have your own
- Space for floor work, suspension and self-tying
- Tea and space to slow down, talk and connect
This is an Open Studio Jam, not a taught workshop.
Bring something you're practising. Explore an idea. Exchange knowledge. Watch other people tie. Ask questions. Spend an hour perfecting one technique or spend the evening improvising.
Your rope. Your practice. Your pace.
π₯ THE ROPEJAM TABLE
Ropejam has always been about more than rope.
Our signature Turkish focaccia with babaganoush will be waiting on the sharing table, alongside tea and whatever else appears during the evening.
Feel free to bring food or snacks to share with the room.
We love to share. βπ₯π€
β¨ COME AS YOU ARE
There is no dress code and nothing you need to perform.
Bring your rope if you have some. Bring your curiosity. Bring your beautifully queer self.
We want to see YOU. π
Kindness, respect, enthusiastic consent and care form the ground we tie on.
Unconditional Rope Love π€πͺ’π
π§Ά WHAT TO BRING
Bring your own rope if you have it.
If you don't yet own rope, we have communal ropes available at the studio.
If you intend to practise suspension, please bring appropriate safety equipment and only practise within your existing knowledge and competence.
