The Cornerstones of Semenawa Workshop We will approach traditional semenawa from both a practical and theoretical perspective, exploring its iconic patterns, structural principles, and the philosophy that underlies this style. Rather than treating seme as a fixed definition or a closed concept, this workshop aims to unpack it from multiple angles: technical, psychological, emotional, and relational. We will examine how these elements contribute to the experience of seme, not only as an external action, but as an internal state and an interpersonal dynamic. A central focus of the workshop is the relationship between intention and effect: how technical choices shape emotional responses, and how seme emerges in the space between rigger and model rather than belonging exclusively to one role. Instead of offering a single interpretation, the workshop is designed to give participants tools, references, and embodied experiences that allow them to reflect, question, and ultimately form their own understanding of seme. Observation, discussion, and hands-on practice will be combined to encourage critical thinking and personal reflection, highlighting individual sensibilities and backgrounds. The goal is not to replicate a style, but to understand its cornerstones, and from there, consciously decide how (and if) to carry them forward into one’s own practice. The Tk We will analyze a stemless gote, understanding its structure and historical development. The differences with an original Japanese TK will be described both from a technical and philosophical point of view. Basic patterns Some iconic patterns will be taught and put in use. Both floorwork and suspensions will be part of the schedule. Each basic pattern will be used to teach a skill that can be carried over and used in several other ties. Variations Depending on the level of participants, some basic ties will be variated and transformed into new shapes. Variations are didactically skill-oriented, and participants will improve rope and body handling while experimenting with new ties. Prerequisites Tops: Solid tk any style Safe and efficient upline management Some experience with easy suspensions Bottoms: Feeling comfortable in a gote Understanding the difference between comfortable and sustainable, and being willing to explore both Nerve and circulation risk awareness and ability to self-control Bios Kirigami is an Italian rope performer and educator. He has been teaching and performing in different European cities since 2012. In 2023 they started a collaboration with Sugiura Norio Sensei, involving the organization of several international workshops, as well as the production and distribution of photographic contents, both online and on printed editions. In the same year he also started to teach in the Americas and Australia, successfully completing three intercontinental tours in less than 12 months. In 2025, Kirigami became the first non-resident of Japan to be invited to tie for Kinbaku Sajiki, the iconic photographic series curated by Sugiura Norio. Saara Rei is a multidisciplinary performance artist and Kinbaku educator with a lifelong foundation in music, dance, education, and public speaking. Since 2014, she has explored Japanese-inspired rope bondage as a medium for vulnerability, presence, and truth. Known for her surreal, emotionally charged performance style, Saara brings a deeply embodied understanding of rope from her years of experience as both a bottom and a rigger. She is a co-founder of Embodied in Rope, a comprehensive educational project for rope bottoms, and co-host of the podcast Model Behaviour. Their collaborations feature both photo and video shootings, including a 3D VR immersive recording of a rope session. Their deep and intense connection breeds sessions of powerful torment and explicit eroticism. https://billetto.se/e/the-cornerstones-of-semanawa-biljetter-1910294?utm_source=organiser&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=copy_link&utm_content=1 |
