During a session, I am trying to build up my partner’s emotions, not breaking them down…
RopuNawa
In this two days workshop we are diving deeper into the understanding of the Tenshi.
This tie is versatile, it enables many new possibilities to transmit emotions and intentions.
We are going to learn how to tie the Tenshi in the way RopuNawa is doing it. Providing different moods and possibilities for the students to find their own and unique way to play with this tie.
During the workshop we are diving deeper into the basic structure of the Tenshi, learning different ways to handle the leftover rope and looking into different ways to handle the uplines. Playing on the floor, with partials and even suspension to understand the Tenshi in different situations. We will have a closer look into the safety of this tie and also explaining the history, where it comes from and how it evolved.
Mixing traditional ties with the Tenshi inspires people all over the World.
Please note, that switching is not possible during the workshop.

RopuNawa
RopuNawa first encountered Shibari/Kinbaku in 2008 at a performance in Australia. This performance stayed with him on his way back to Switzerland, where he began his own journey with the rope. He formed the foundation from Osada Steve’s style, which was taught in Switzerland at that time. However, he did not stay with this one style, but was inspired by many other teachers. For RopuNawa, there is not one way to tie, but the heart of his style lies in the need of his model. These needs can be as diverse as the individuality of the people themselves, and through the diversity of his style, he can best respond to his partners needs and wants. He appreciates the non verbal connection, that he can create with each tying partner.
The aesthetics he picked up while first getting to know Naka’s style, who influenced him early on. While Naka still accompanies him today, Tifereth has inspired him on this path for the last 2 years as well.
Yoroi was another of his great first influences, whose style gave RopuNawa’s taste for less is more space to develop. Yagami Ren also influenced him in this direction.
Today RopuNawa unites parts of all these styles in his personal rope art, which he lives and teaches in Basel to students all over the world, as he continues to travel worldwide, giving workshops and getting inspired by his old teachers and new encounters.
