That’s a program! First you get into suspensions. It is necessary that you know how to tie a box tie and have some light suspension experience as we are going into the more advanced stuff.
So, up we go: We do suspensions. Belly down, face up, sideways, just on the angles depending what we like the best. Learning how to tie suspensions safely, suspension gear, line management and how to tie suspensions quickly.
Now we are in the air. Now what? We go into a different suspension, without touch down and back and then we do a different transition.
But wait, what happens if something happens?
There are suspensions and there are emergencies. Hopefully more suspensions than emergencies! But what if?
Now we train for the rare case where you need to get your partner from a full-fledged suspension down to earth and out of the ropes quickly.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN (at least):
-
What counts as an emergency
-
How to handle the different types of emergencies
-
Why it is not advisable to use scissors or a knife
-
What to do and what not to do in case of emergency
-
How to get your partner quickly and safe back to the ground without cutting rope
-
How to add some safety into your suspension from the very beginning
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
-
Lots of rope (some of which you will have to cut, no tears please!)
-
A sporty partner (we’ll go up and down and flip them and up and down and up and… you get the picture)
-
Your set of scissors, knifes or whatever releasing tools you prefer
BIO:
Zamil was born and raised in Berlin. He has been performing on stage since before he turned twenty and has always enjoyed the lights of the stage. Becoming active in the lifestyle in 1999, he began doing BDSM shows since 2003 and became the founder of ArtSensual project (ArtSensual.com) with his former partner maliZ. ArtSensual has become world renown as an established name for high class bondage performances, and has had their work shown in fetish magazines, the daily press and radio stations as well as TV, magazines and podcasts. They have been voted “Best Performer” in 2008 by the international audience at BoundCon.
A teacher by heart, Zamil has spent years as an educator at the college level. In 2004 he traveled to Japan to study traditional kinbaku techniques at its source, he became student to Osada Steve. His patience, focus and fun delivering those traditions and new styles of rope art from Japan has become well known.
Zamil became teacher of the Osada Ryu in 2007, teaching contemporary Kinbaku techniques to the interested student. He finished his study of the Osada Ryu in 2009. In the same year he became editor-in-chief of the German Bondage Magazine.
Zamil sees himself first as a live bondage performance artist, bondage trainer and author. He’s very traditional in terms of bondage. This means for him that he takes Shibari and the Japanese tying tradition seriously. Shibari for him is not only a tie, but a special bondage, following certain aesthetic rules in visual and application.
