Braxas & Nëya: Breaking Aesthetics

Often, we will focus on creating the perfect shape, and by following an exact series of steps we can do that. In this workshop we will turn this idea on its head and use every possibility to deform a shape and make our partners look and feel broken.

By taking a simple shape and adding nuance, we can deconstruct the expected result and create a sense of being totally bound in a chaotic and fractured way. Our goal will be to let go of the perfect shape and instead focus on contortion. We will use every possibility; fingers, toes, hair etc to make our partners feel completely tied. This can be a very powerful tool.

We will seek the things that look like they shouldn’t work but do. In some ways, inspired by kintsugi, we will find the beauty in the broken.

Instructors

Braxas

Kinbaku is about taking your internal emotional monologue and turning it into a shared emotional dialogue

Braxas first fell in love with Kinbaku in 2016 when he attended the Kinbaku Dojo Berlin. Since then, his life has been a whirlwind of private tuition, workshops and rope events. He began his journey in Osada style and although he has evolved a lot since then, he owes a lot to the incredibly detailed and thorough education that he received.

Nëya

Rigger and model from Czech republic, who has been a part of the educators team of Prague-based Subspace studio since 2019. Nëya is interested in multiple styles, both from a technical and an aesthetic point of view. However, she likes improvising and using bamboo in her ties the most.

Even after years of being an educator, she still keeps in mind that there is always something to learn in shibari, and she actively learns not only in Czechia, but these days mostly abroad.
