Upcoming Events
Knots Club
Knots Club is our take on a night out.
A space where rope, music, and community come together in a relaxed and social atmosphere.
We begin with a live performance where Marcos ties Papi, accompanied by Andrés Soria performing live.
An opening moment that sets the tone for the evening.
After the performance, the room opens into a rope jam.
Andrés moves into a DJ set, creating a continuous flow of ambient sound throughout the night.
Guests are welcome to tie, dance, observe, and connect.
Come with friends or come alone, the space is open to meet, share, and explore.
Andrés Soria (he/him)
Coming from Galicia, Spain, and based in Amsterdam since 2024, Andrés Soria brings his singular approach to storytelling through sound.
Whether in his own productions or as a selector, Andrés uses detailed sound design and a progression rooted in introspection to bring to life a world of deep forests and raging oceans, guiding the listener through the landscape. World-building based on hypnosis, psychoactive textures, and the ever-lasting quest for hope that is already echoing through the Amsterdam underground.
Marcos Mangani (he/him)
Marcos studied visual arts in Argentina for 5 years. Travelling and developing his artwork with a strong focus in installations that talked about time and space, Marcos created throughout the years some solid career. 10 years ago, he moved to Berlin and continued developing his artworks, but also opened new doors to new media and ways to relate with people. As an invisible conceptual thread, he has been talking about impermanence with different mediums and materials.
7 years ago, he found rope bondage as a new technique to continue evolving his practice. He developed his own conscious and quiet approach and characteristic face bondage. Creating safe spaces for people to trust and surrender, he opens the doors for people to explore their bodies in a different way. Exploring emotions and intentions in rope is one of his most interests.
He taught in different queer spaces Tension (Montreal) Temple (New York) and Iridescent Studio (Amsterdam) Anatomie (London)At the moment Marcos offers regular classes and private sessions at his studio KOR Berlin.

Breath Play
During a bondage session, the breathing of the tied up person is often impacted.
A simple chest harness can become real torture when breathing in certain positions. The rope is a perfect tool for breath play.
The rigger can play with his or her partner’s breathing on different spots: mouth, throat, ribcage, abdomen...
After we familiarize ourselves with the precautions to be taken, we’ll experiment with effective ways of obstructing the air column...
Breath play is a powerful means of communication in ropes. In this course, we’ll explore the reactions and emotions that breath play can induce on your partner, so that we can use it appropriately in a rope session.
Depending on the tie, participants’ level of experience, and their preferences, these bondages can be explored both in partial suspension and in full suspension.
Bänana (she/her)
A ten-year bondage enthusiast, found her passion in shibari, drawn to its raw and authentic nature. As she has always been fascinated by the expression of emotion, shibari has opened upanewpathofexplorationtoher. She began to follow Docvale’s teaching in November 2018, later partnering with him to co-manage Atelier Simonet in Paris until summer 2023. She opened her own rope studio in Paris in 2024: La Cabäne.
As an instructor, Bänana emphasizes understanding the reasons behind each technique, rather than rote learning. She believes in using these skills to enhance the connectionwithpartners.
With experience as both a rigger and a model, she is dedicated to teaching both roles, providing tools for a rewarding rope experience.
Cat (she /her)
Has been a shibari model for 3 years, enjoying semenawa and exploring the possibilities of her body. As a course model, she also enjoys sharing the techniques that have enhanced her experiences in ropes.
She regularly gives classes in Paris at “Port d’attaches” and with Bänana at La Cabäne
Level
This course is suitable for riggers who are comfortable tying in partial.
Having already been tied several times in partial is necessary for the models. Communication being a central element in shibari it is always preferable to come with a partner with whom you already practice in order to allow a good experience.

Objectification & Exposure “Display & Reduction”
This class will propose playful bondages, all with the common goal of exposing and / or objectifying the bound person.
It will leave room for creativity, so that each pair can find their own way of presenting, transforming, or reducing the body to create reactions. (What may be exposing, intimidating, or objectifying for one person may not be so for another...).
This course will provide tools and ideas for finding one's own interpretation of what exposure and objectification in the ropes can create in both partners: embarrassment, vulnerability, shame, intimacy, detachment, desire, etc.
Participants will experiment with using the body as support, decoration, or visual composition, exploring stillness, restriction, and staged presentations of the body.
The focus will be on how rope can highlight, display, or transform the body into something to be looked at, contemplated, or used.
This class will also provide an opportunity to discuss the play dynamics that can be created by this kind of bondage, as well as the reactions and emotions generated, and the inner shifts that may happen when playing with agency, identity, and perception.
For a long time, the most popular shibari photos were those of people of female gender expression (whose bodies meet the beauty criteria of hetero-patriarchal society) being tied up by people of male gender expression. For some years now, diversified representations have been put forward, and the practice is tending to become less stereotyped!
Bänana and their Cat do their best to create a class where everyone, whatever their gender, expressions, and whatever the dynamics of their relationship with their partner, can feel welcome.

Without Chest Harness
In most Japanese-inspired styles, chest harnesses – especially TKs – are a central element: practical, aesthetic, and a good way to connect with the person in ropes.
When designing this workshop five years ago, I asked myself: How can we tie the hands in a creative way while maintaining both technical precision and aesthetic consistency in our bondage?
Today, I want to take it further: expanding the range of possibilities with new ties, while also revisiting and refining my favourite ones as they have evolved over time.
We will also place particular emphasis on adapting these ties to different body types, so that each person can find what works best for them.
Depending on the tie, participants’ level of experience, and their preferences, these bondages can be explored both in partial suspension and in full suspension.

Rope Salon June Editions
Join us, let’s tie!
You’re warmly invited to an evening of rope, connection, and quiet exploration.
Rope Salon is a relaxed, social space where you can come with a partner or arrive open to meeting someone new.
Whether you're here to tie, be tied, or switch roles, you're welcome to explore at your own pace.
Ropes are our love language!
What to expect?
We begin with a brief introduction circle to see who’s in the room and what people feel open to that night. This helps set the tone and create a shared sense of awareness.
Afterwards, we ease into a warm-up activity, something light and grounding to help everyone settle in, whether it’s rope-based or a simple communication practice.
From there, the studio opens up for free rope play. The lights dim, the music softens, and you're invited to explore in the way that feels right for you. Our space is equipped with bamboo and single suspension points. If suspension is part of your practice, please bring your own ring.
Important!
This rope evening is open to everyone. All identities, backgrounds, and experience levels are welcome. As a queer, BIPOC-led studio, we encourage you to engage with others respectfully and with care, helping to create a space where freedom of expression and playful rope exploration can thrive.
Take a moment to check in with yourself and your partners. Notice your physical boundaries, your emotional state, and the kind of connection you’re open to sharing that evening. Rope interactions are a shared experience, with responsibility for safety and enjoyment held equally by both people. Clear communication, mutual care, and active consent make the experience meaningful and safe for everyone involved.
You’re encouraged to move at your own pace, speak your boundaries, and engage in ways that feel grounded and safe. We ask that you only use techniques you feel confident in and approach each interaction with trust and respect.
Doors open at 18:15 and will close at 19:00. Please make sure to arrive on time, as entry won’t be possible once the doors are closed.
What to bring?
Your own ropes, if you are tying.
Suspension gear, rings, carabiners, extra slings , etc.
Comfortable clothes in which you can move freely, tank tops or shorts are ideal, or any yoga/sport clothes. you are allowed to tie topless, bottoms stay on.
A bottle of water (leak proof) and some snacks.
A pair of sandals/flip flops to get to the toilet, since they are not directly inside the studio.
