This class is for the experienced to advanced student, observers welcome at all levels.

I just love those moments when two souls melt together, the moments in which time just stops and goes some place else, the moments of rope touching skin, guiding my partner into places and spaces maybe unknown or not experienced before, the moments when I fully take care of her, knowing that she’s giving in completely, knowing that no harm will come towards her because I take care of her.
Rope is a wonderful tool. But it is a tool, not an end in itself. What you put in, you get out and sometimes, if everything falls into place at the right time, you get even more out of it than you ever expected.
In this class, we will walk the way together to get there and to achieve those moments.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN (at least):

How your mindset and emotions reflect on your rope work and how to use that
Ways to feel the current state of mind of you partner
How to guide your partner’s state of mind and how to synchronize
How to reach “the moment” and how to stay in it
And while you are learning all that, you will learn various TK, Futomomo, Organic-Shibari-Pattern and rope-handling

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

Lots of rope (min 8 length of 8m jute or hemp (jute’s better!, MFP will be burned!)
A partner (washed, hugged and freshly squeezed. Important: choose someone you will enjoy to touch a lot, because you will touch them a lot!)
A Tengui (or any other soft fabric to use as a blindfold but please NO blindfolds)
A metronome* (just one, or a professional drummer with his kit will do too)
*don’t worry, I have one… that will be enough for the whole class

What to bring: Yourself, your partner, rope and your bondage gear
Duration: 3 hours, some breaks in between

For many of us, rope performance art is the ultimate skill-set you can master. There is a huge difference between a scene, a demo and a performance. Each of those have different aspects to think about, a different intensity in preparations and a different skill set that rigger and partner should have to make it a huge success and wonderful experience. Mastering rope performance art means mastering scenes and demos as well.
Nobody likes to see the one trick pony over and over again. If you are or if you want to be on stage and if you want to master scenes and shows as well this class is for you: This class will focus purely on the important aspects of bondage performance art, how to put a show on stage that rocks the audience and boosting your theatrical and show abilities to a new high.
Performances can be looked at from the angles of three main actors: There is the audience you cater for, there is your partner you need to take care of and there is you. Each one has a different role, different needs and different goals. Together we will do a guided tour through the main stages of any performance you like to put on stages worldwide. We will be very hands on, practical and look at performance from the viewpoint of the tree main actors.
We will look at the key concepts of performance art and apply them to rope performances, we will learn about the interactions between audience and performance, the interactions between the rigger and the model, the phases of any performance art, main concepts on how people perceive performances so you can cater for mostly all of them, plan and design a performance, learn rope techniques suitable for performances, utilize drama techniques from theater, learn how to fight stage fright and leave the class with a catalog of experiences that will boost your understanding, handling and abilities of and in bondage performances.

TES-TNG Group: How to Play Now without Paying Later, with Sir Vice & Soumise

What are the long term repercussions of play? If it doesn’t cause immediate injury, are we still setting ourselves up for problems down the road? I’m a top, what could be happening to me? Let’s face it, as much as we might wish it so, one day we will no longer be in our 20’s, but hopefully we’ll still be inhabiting our body. How can our play today impact the long term health of our body? While there isn’t a lot of research available on BDSM Play and long term health concerns, there is research from other traumatic (yes even if we enjoy it, our physical being might be experiencing trauma) events on the body. We’ll discuss play, research and then suggest some ways to assess and modify (if needed) your risk exposure. This class works best when attendees are open to sharing their concerns, experiences and maybe even getting some of their techniques looked at to improve play ergonomics.

Come learn the basics of flogging! Flogging, or flagellation, is the act of methodically beating or whipping (Latin: flagellum, “whip”) the human body. In this class you’ll learn the rich history of flogging as a form of corporal punishment throughout the world, and what materials, vendors, and resources are out there for this simple, yet versatile method of inducing pain.
You’ll also learn various methods for striking various parts of your partner, how to vary your pacing, power, and speed for maximum effect, and, if the time permits, start the basics of florentine flogging — the style of flagellation used in BDSM involving the rhythmic use of a pair of matching floggers, one in each hand.
Bring on the Flogging Fun, Pain and Punishment!
Please bring your own floggers to participate.

This class focuses on letting go of “traditional” forms and ties and bringing to focus on to listening to the rope and letting it tell you where it wants to go next.

New riggers are taught so many conflicting views on how to do things. Unfortunately, sometimes that information is misleading. In this class, we are going to discuss and then try (hands-on) some of those things that we’ve been taught always to do or never to do. Come with your rope, a bottom, and an open mind. This class is premiering at TES!

Body manipulation is one way to make the act of tying a more fun, connected experience for both partners. The class will focus on a variety of ways students can manipulate their partner’s body during a scene to cause pleasure or pain.
It is recommended to bring rope and a partner. Knowledge of one and two column ties preferred.

AndraPoloutropon is a New York City based rigger with a strong interest in “ oorwork transitions.” A self-proclaimed “style whore,” he is fascinated by the myriad styles of tying and encourages others to make their own way rather than following a single method as dogma. In addition to style, he holds an abiding interest in rope handling and is dedicated to helping people understand “why” various decisions are made in rope bondage. He has had the privilege of teaching at Shibaricon, TES Fest, and Bound in Boston, and can regularly be found teaching classes on rope theory, handling, and style around the greater NY area.

Saying No
Limiting A Scene
Protecting The Body
Recognizing Trance
Suggestions for Safer Trance
Responding To Abreactions and unexpected outcomes

So many problems in life come about by trying to shove a square peg into a round hole . . . and while this can be super fun for playtime, it can be death for establishing your Dominance or submission in a relationship with another person. When it comes to getting those pegs and holes in order, clear communication leads to success.
This class is for you if you’ve ever wondered any of the following:
WTF are all these words? Am I using them correctly? What does She want from me? How can I attract a good Domme in my life to serve?
Understanding BDSM jargon, connotations, linguistics, and body language is the first key to kink. The second is understanding how to communicate your own intentions using those tools.
Topics we will cover:

“LIE” – Listen, Identify/Interpret, Execute
Power play vs fetishism
Positions (Can Dominants be on bottom?)
Explaining “Dom/sub”, “Owner/slave” “Goddess/servant”, why the labels imply different interests and therefore different approaches.
Why you should give a damn!

BIO:
Mistress Leigh has been a lifestyle Dominant Dictator for eighteen years and a full-time professional DominARTtrix for six years. Although based out of Pandora’s Box dungeon in NYC, she also sessions nationally as an independent fetish educator, worker, and consultant.

Two-Way Tying is a new approach to bondage created by Rough Mercies that facilitates high-energy, aggressive play. Unlike most shibari, Two-Way Tying uses both ends of the rope simultaneously and employs a unique collection of moves to fix and stabilize the wraps. Radical variations on classic harnesses are combined with sling-like “open loops” and “rope chains” to open up novel approaches to suspension.

As with most things in BDSM, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all when it comes to Negotiation. Variables include the type and length of scene or dynamic, the participants involved, the location, and the list goes on. Some prefer an organic approach, others a standardized checklist, and even more something in between. We’ll have panelists talk about their preferred styles of negotiation, offer helpful advice on what to ask and listen for, and answer questions from the audience.

Intimate Interrogations, with Mr. Taqtiks

Interrogation is a form of role-play where the Interrogator has some piece of information that they need to extract from the Interrogatee. Intimate Interrogation gives a unique opportunity to take on roles that may be on the edge of or just beyond the usual safety net of power exchange. It also allows a mix of various tools and aspects of BDSM into a single scene for a heightened experience. This is not a class on “military interrogations” as much as a guide on how to engage in this type of play from a lifestyle perspective considering risks and within negotiated limits.
BIO:
Mr. Taqtiks is a military veteran and certified hypnotist. He is currently one of the leaders of the Black Rose Hypnosis Special Interest Group (Wash DC) and is on the organizational team for the Charmed Erotic Hypnosis Conference (Baltimore). He has presented intimate interrogation for a number of other organizations including BlackBEAT (Baltimore), Cloak (NC) and Tawse Manor (New Zealand) and notes that this approach is specific to the BDSM lifestyle and not an instruction on military interrogation.

Floor Play As Your Forte AKA Bondage Breakdancin, with BOSS BONDAGE

Rope bondage can be used for so many great things, for restraint, as a component but not total focus of overall play, connection, intimacy and catharsis. This class is about combining all of those things. This style of floor work focuses on a movement based technique, intertwining the Top and bottom, even though only one of them is tied. Boss has been calling this style of play bondage breakdancing, tongue and cheek for a long time, but is sure attendees will see why he calls it this when we are all rolling around on the floor together.
Please bring at least a few pieces of rope, enough for a chest harness and at least a few extra ropes for tying the legs into the body. If you don’t have rope, Boss will have some for sale at the class from his BossBondage.com website. He can also help you with rope selection for the class.
BIO:
BOSSBONDAGE has been involved in the BDSM community for the last 18 years. Born from his love of rope, He started BossBondage.com in 2002, where He produces his own line of Hemp, Jute and Bamboo Bondage rope. Boss has been a body piercer since 1995 and currently operates PlayPiercingKits.com which sells play piercing kits and medical kink accessories. Boss makes his living full time as a BDSM educator and has taught at countless events throughout the United States as well as Canada and Europe.
