 BUILDING BLOCKS /// BEGINNER Learn the fundamental language of rope. Every
  rope journey begins with learning its basic vocabulary. Shibari Kinbaku F
 oundations 1 is a complete three-hour-and-45-minute beginner workshop intr
 oducing the essential building blocks from which more complex ties\, harne
 sses and rope experiences are created. This is not an open practice jam. I
 t is a structured class for complete beginners and anyone wishing to rebui
 ld their foundations with greater clarity and confidence. No previous expe
 rience is required. MORE THAN LEARNING KNOTS At Ropejam Studio\, we do not
  simply teach you what to tie. We teach you to begin understanding how rop
 e works. How does tension travel? Why does a tie hold? How does rope commu
 nicate through touch\, movement and direction? How does the same technique
  change when it meets a different body? Following the philosophy of Tiger 
 Nawa Ryū\, we learn the elements\, investigate their function and begin c
 ombining them creatively. Technique becomes vocabulary. Vocabulary becomes
  expression. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN UNDERSTANDING KINBAKU • Introduction to
  the history and philosophy of Kinbaku and Shibari • Japanese and Wester
 n approaches to rope • Rope types\, treatment and care • Consent\, com
 munication and negotiation • Stop signals and body checks • Anatomy\, 
 circulation and nerve awareness • Principles of safer floor-based rope p
 ractice ROPE HANDLING & CONNECTION • Preparing and opening rope efficien
 tly • Rope handling\, movement and direction • Understanding rope as t
 ouch and communication • Introduction to tension and body manipulation 
 • Beginning a rope scene through touch\, movement and “breaking the se
 iza” THE FIRST BUILDING BLOCKS • Lark’s Head • Joining ropes • S
 ingle Column Tie through different approaches • Double Column Tie • Ho
 n Musubi / Square Knot We will explore what each element does\, why it wor
 ks and how it can be adapted to different bodies and intentions. Guided ex
 ercises will then begin bringing these individual techniques together\, al
 lowing isolated movements to become the beginning of a rope language. THE 
 FOUNDATIONS PATHWAY Foundations 1 is the first half of the complete Shibar
 i Kinbaku Foundations curriculum. SHIBARI KINBAKU FOUNDATIONS 1 Building B
