ABOUT WORKSHOPS
SELF-TIE SHIBARI
In this workshop we’ll dive into the wonderful world of shibari, the Japanese art of rope bondage. Rather than focusing on knots or patterns, we’ll approach rope as a tool for awareness, sensation, and connection with yourself.
You’ll learn the basics of self-tying (tying yourself) in a soft and accessible way. Through simple techniques, we’ll explore how rope can guide your attention inward: to your breath, to how your body moves, and to the way sensation changes with every movement.
This is not about performance or perfection. It’s about slowing down, discovering the sensual qualities of rope, and allowing yourself to be present in your own body. With just a single rope, you’ll leave with a practice that can be both grounding and deeply pleasurable.
This workshop is taught by Lokka (lokkarope.nl). Rope has been a big part of her life for several years, and what she enjoys most is exploring how it can bring more awareness, connection, and playfulness into ones body. Selftying is her favorite way to connect with her own body, because it creates a moment of calm, presence, and sometimes discover feelings she didn't know were there.
SENSUAL FLOORWORK
In this panel you will get nice and hot!
First, you'll warm up your body and senses through a very sexy warm-up filled with various confidence exercises. Then you will learn a slow and seductive dance sequence utilising easy floorwork techniques (for advanced dancers there will be more difficult options as well). The focus of this workshop is to dance with intention, expression, and that raw emotion that comes from within.
​
We as women are often afraid to come across as sexy and daring. This workshop is here to let you explore this side of you and show it in a safe and supportive environment.
​
This panel will be taught by Annaestheesia, a founder of Iron Forest Studio, a performer and entertainer. She will tell you a little about her own journey of self-discovery and breaking through the internalised shame, and give you tested tools and techniques to help you in your own empowerment journey.
