Vik & Gala: Semenawa with suspensions

This workshop will cover a single exercise with plenty of options for transitions that we will discover together. This workshop is a multilevel class where every participant will tie as far as their level allows them.

For this workshop we require an intermediate level of knowledge both in rope foundation and up-line management.

We will also dedicate some time to speak about our perspective on semenawa and how we can use the ropes to create it.

Requirements: For this workshop we also require a solid TK and bottoms with experience being in ropes (with body knowledge and awareness)

Vik and Gala are a couple from Barcelona. They have done ropes together for more than 5 years.

Vik started exploring both roles in ropes before finding his preference for the rigger side, while Gala started bottoming until she discovered her curiosity for tying both others and herself.

Both have learned from local and international teachers. For them, rope is a tool to explore, discover and express their feelings and highlight them. They found simplicity and intricacy in a style that enhances the beauty of the body and emotions, simple in appearance but with a great purpose, intention, complexity and intensity. Through their way of tying, they both exemplify a mixture of darkness, strength, delicacy, eroticism, closeness, power and more primal instincts.

They have had the opportunity to do performances or, as they prefer to call them, live sessions with an audience, both locally and internationally, as well as professional photo and video shoots. They have also been invited to Milan to participate in the Kinbaku Lab research group and, both as riggers, created the Kinbaku Lab Barcelona along with other riggers and bottoms.

For several years now, they have been focused on sharing Kinbaku professionally, both in international workshops and at the studio they are running together, Shizen Studio Barcelona. Gala also co-organizes the Fem Rope Getaway and has been involved in the teaching part of different bottom’s festivals.
