Denver Rope Bite & Hitchin’ Bitches Denver are pleased to host internationally renowned rigger and rope model, Gorgone. Join us either Saturday, February 4, 2017 or Sunday, February 5, 2017 for a 6-hour hybrid course tailored to educate both rigger and rope bottom. Please note that all genders are encouraged to attend in either role.This is not a two-day intensive - due to Gorgone’s popularity, the same material will be presented twice. Tickets each day are limited to only 8 couples.
Rigger topics will emphasize:
- How to improve and solidify the TK
- Suspension attachments and efficient tie-offs
- Body mechanics and proper lifting
- Advanced suspension poses and transitions
Rope bottom topics will emphasize:
- Breathing
- Muscle and core engagement to improve tie sustainability
- Pain management
- Body awareness
- Methods to work with your rigger as a team
This is intermediate/advanced level coursework: Riggers should be experienced in solid TK based suspensions and load line management, preferably with transitions. Bottoms should have excellent communication skills, body awareness, and prior experience with suspension (preferably with transitions). Course work will be adapted to meet the skill-level and needs of each workshop’s attendees.
Gorgone is a French Kinbaku rigger and rope model currently living in Berlin. She discovered rope about five years ago and was immediately seduced. During that time, she studied traditional Japanese rope bondage and has since turned rope education and performance into her full-time job. In 2012, she helped co-found Kinbaku LuXuria and helps to run the London-based rope event BOUND with Esinem and Nina Russ. She met Japanese rope master Naka Akira in 2014 and has become heavily influenced by his style. Now, she travels extensively worldwide as a freelance rope educator, model, and performer sharing her knowledge with rope lovers around the world.
