Cape Town - Western Cape (South Africa)

ROPEYTHINGS is a bondage collective established in Cape Town, South Africa in 2016. We are riggers of diverse backgrounds and skill sets, who came together over a mutual love of rope. Our aim is to create a collaborative, intersectional and safe space for those who would like to learn the ropes, as it were.

This will be a two hour life drawing event with the subject matter being rope bondage, partial and full rope suspensions. Hosted in a queer-friendly space, this is an opportunity to explore a dynamic subject matter, as well as to socialise with the Cape Town rope community. We welcome both
experienced artists and beginners.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

● A beautiful space with ambient light in which to explore the fast-paced movement created by bondage/shibari/kinbaku.
● There will be a warm up session, and two main sessions with ample breaks in between.
● RopeyThings riggers who you can approach if you are starting out as a bottom or wanting to learn how to tie
● Networking and socialising opportunity

WHAT TO BRING (besides your wonderful self):

● Your own art materials* - minimum of a pencil and a sketchbook recommended for beginners.
● The space is small, so please bring a clipboard or sturdy book to press on rather than an easel (unless it is a small travel easel).

*You are encouraged to bring your own drawing materials but we will have very basic supplies available for anyone who doesn't have.

PLEASE NOTE:

● Arrive from 6:30pm to set up and make yourself comfortable for a 7pm start.
● Drinks will be available for purchase, but no kitchen available on the night so have dinner or a snack before.
● ROAR - Right of admission reserved.

1. Respect the model and rigger - no touching, heckling, chatting when tying is taking place.
