We have the great pleasure of hosting Marc Marukunawa for a workshop at Encordages Lémaniques.
This workshop, taught in English, focuses on sensual and erotic rope.
| About Marc Marc started ropes around 2008, in Tokyo swingers bars. He did not have any SM background but was attracted to its potential within the bedroom. Realizin that rope may add a wide new range of stimulations and enable new positions. He started to teach in 2012. After many years of practice and thinking, he published «The Japanese Rope Kamasutra» in 2020. Since then he has been going regularly around Europe and Asia to teach about sensual and sexual rope. On demand, Marc will bring printed copies of the book for purchase during the workshop (japonais/anglais). Digital versions in other languages can be bought online https://marukunawa.wordpress.com/.

Advanced sensual and erotic rope
This workshop’s goal is to enable advanced riggers to add more sensual play to their sessions. We will go quickly over the fundamentals of rope manipulation with some TK exercises at the beginning before checking on the basics of connections. We will practice connections throughout the play using 2-3 different one-rope short play sessions.
Then we will develop a longer play session starting with one rope, evolving to semi-suspension. Those who want can go to full suspension (we may use examples from the Japanese rope Kamasutra). We’ll pay particular attention to keeping the connection and sensual play going on the whole session. We structure the chest harness to maximize sensation during the suspension.
If there is enough time left, we will add some music and explain the relationship between body control and dance and how to apply it to ropes.
Although the majority of our work will take place on the floor, we may encounter some elements of semi-suspension or suspension. The participants need to be familiar with knots and ties, including simple suspension.
This workshop is open to people of all sexual orientations; however, we will remain dressed.
Skill level: advanced, ability to tie a Tk in 5 minutes and suspension
