Language: English, French and Dutch

Saturday 21 May, workshop starts at 10u30

Ichinawa Kai (“First Rope Group”), created by Hajime Kinoko, is a circle of Japanese Shibarite who study and teach Shibari/Kinbaku. Aku Aku has been an instructor of Ichinawa Kai since 2012.

Part one: the in-depth evolution of the Ichinawa Kai chest harness. This harness has many details and its use is very versatile. Learning the Ichinawa Kai chest harness provides you with a platform to understand a wide range of chest harnesses currently in use. It will allow you to create and adapt your own chest harness, depending on your needs.

Part two: Ichinawa Kai suspensions. The Ichinawa Kai suspension curriculum is massive, to say the least. Depending on on the level of the participants, Aku Aku will cover as many types of suspension as possible. These may include: emuji (M-shape), tatezuri (standing suspension), hikkyaku (the running man), gyakuebi (reverse shrimp), yokozuri (sideways suspension) and transition from hikkyaky to gyakuebi.

Prerequisites:

All participants need to master at least one type of chest harness

You need to be able to construct a suspension in less than 20 minutes (building the chest harness included)

Price: €180 per couple, including drinks and snacks during the workshop

* Aku Aku will give a performance on Saturday evening at the beginning of the Shibari Night Special.
