WORKSHOP : Bondage for Sex - w/ VIK & ANASTASIA @ atelier misiu
Description
The workshopspace has a maximum of 6 couples (2 spots left) , this allows more attention to your individual needs from the educators.
In this workshop, we'll explore how to create playful, intimate, and emotionally engaging interactions on the floor, using rope to build erotic tension and presence without relying on technically demanding patterns.
Through guided exercises, we'll focus on body positioning, distance, rhythm, pacing, intentional touch, and simple yet effective restraint. Rather than chasing complexity, we'll explore how practical exposure ties can become powerful tools for creating anticipation, vulnerability, and genuine connection while remaining responsive to our partner's reactions.
Participants are encouraged to not just repeat the techniques but instead create small, authentic scenes that reflect their own dynamics, curiosity, and chemistry.
The goal is to build confidence, creativity, and adaptability, allowing each exchange to evolve naturally from the chemistry between the partners rather than from predetermined choreography.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have practical tools for creating expressive, playful, and emotionally rich floor-based scenes where rope supports the interaction instead of dominating it.
Prerequisites: Participants should be comfortable with basic floor ties and fundamental rope handling. No suspension experience is required. Because many of the exercises explore intimacy and erotic dynamics, we strongly recommend attending with a partner with whom you share good chemistry and feel comfortable exploring this kind of interaction. Feeling safe, relaxed and being able to communicate openly will help you get the most out of the workshop.
Vik is a rigger and educator based in Barcelona who has been exploring Kinbaku for the past seven years. After experiencing both roles in rope, he found his path as a rigger, developing a style that balances simplicity with intricacy, where every tie serves a clear purpose and intention.
His work focuses on intentional intensity, highlighting the beauty of the body, emotion, and connection through rope. His tying combines a mixture of darkness, strength, delicacy, intensity, eroticism, closeness, power, and more primal instincts, creating experiences.
Alongside teaching at Shizen Studio Barcelona, which he co-runs with Gala, Vik regularly teaches workshops internationally and has presented performances and live rope sessions throughout Europe and abroad. He has also collaborated on professional photography and video projects, using rope as a medium for artistic expression.
Committed to continuous learning and research, his teaching emphasizes solid technical foundations while encouraging creativity, adaptability, and the development of each student’s own artistic voice.
Rope model, performer, and wild cat based in Warsaw, Poland
After seeing her first shibari performance over four years ago, she felt an immediate pull to experience it herself - and before she knew it, it had become a defining part of her life.
Her work is shaped by primal energy, closeness to nature, and embodied awareness.
She explores the raw power of both the body and the mind.
In ropes she dives into emotional intensity and presence - not as a passive receiver, but as an active force who seeks, holds, and deepens the exchange
