-Multiple harnesses demonstrations & uplines anchoring demo

-Introduce bamboo to play with asymmetries

-Safety and anatomy

-Feedback, suggestions, tips, answer questions

Requisites:

• Enough experience in tying harnesses and minimum knowledge of up-lines for suspensions for both models, riggers/self-tying will be suitable for the partial suspensions and basic static suspensions. Having solidly practiced single column and double column ties in different parts of the body besides ankles and wrists, as well as knowing how to tie and understand basic counter-tension frictions, applying balanced rope tension on the body and complex frictions such as X, L or half moon frictions. Understand general safety and anatomy risks related to Shibari paying, for all roles involved.

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT to tie above your level and hurry into steps that you are not comfortable executing.

• You will need your own ropes and safety cutting tools.

• You will probably need at least 2 ropes per harness tied, plus one rope for the bamboos. We recommend ropes between 7,5 m to 8 m, longer is exceptionally welcome from 9 m to 10 m.

• You will need slim bamboo for this specific part of the class. If you do not have bamboo, a cylindric piece of wood should be fine too

About Pauline Massimo:

Pauline Massimo (no pronouns/they), with roots in Brazil and feet in Barcelona, co-founder of Espacio Nos and Learn Shibari.

They have been very intense and proactively involved in Shibari for a decade, exercising multiple roles as a visual artist, performer, instructor, organizer, learner, researcher, mentor, and among other things, nationally and internationally. Their way of feeling, experiencing, and exposing Shibari, starts from its interdisciplinary and multifaceted base where they explore the infinite relationships with other disciplines and ways of coexisting in the world with a strong tie to radical politics, social constructions, neurodivergence, etc.

They have vast experience giving workshops, classes, lectures, and courses on Shibari and interdisciplinary practices contributing from their own perspective as a rigger, model, and selftier in well-known rope spaces in Europe such as in England, Mexico, Germany, Czech Republic, France, Spain, Costa Rica, Martinique, Colombia, Portugal, The Netherlands, as well as in Brazil, Turkey, etc.

They opt for a more progressive way of studying and learning, choosing precision and detail in their classes. They work from an approach where it takes the student's existing knowledge as a starting point and helps them to realistically approach their goals, always keeping their feet on the ground with conscious practice.

When Pauline is talking about Shibari and teaching, always has in their mind the involvement of both roles with their own complexities and contributing inputs. Both the rigger and model coexist independently and need attention separately, but also as a team working together in having a productive, positive, and intimate journey.

As an agender person, they have no pronouns or gender reference but do not mind having neutral terms used toward them (They/them, for example).
