Vik & Gala workshop: playful partials without TK

In this workshop we will see two different exercises floor based that will include upline management. Both exercises are planned to be very playful and useful to have fun with our partners in very interesting ways. Both proposals will be without TK (although hands will be tied up) so we will be able to focus our attention to our basics as well as to our partners, to be able to have fun with them.

Note: even though this workshop is accessible to all levels, we expect attendees to have solid rope basics (single column, double column, frictions, reverse tension and kannuki) as well as a minimum/basic level of line management.

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.
