Description
Tangled Up is an open ropeshare event held the second Thursday of every month at the Baltimore Playhouse from 7-10pm - be sure to RSVP!
About this event:
Come move. Come groove. Come find. Come flow. Bring your own rope but we will also have some used jute you’re welcome to use for free. Bring your friends, bring your partners. You don’t have to know what to do to come hang. Some of us might be upside down.
Tangled Up has been running since January 2022 and is currently co-faciliated by Lillian_Mae and CurtisMercury. Both parties are seeking others to fill in host duties in either a temporary or possibly permanent arrangement. Please see this post for more details. https://fetlife. We are always looking for more people to get involved, so if you would like to help out with future events, please reach out to either of us!

Tentative schedule:
7-7:15: Doors open- show up, get comfortable! If you/a guest can't RSVP on Fet, please message
7:15-8 Come learn the ropes! This is dedicated time for folks who are new to rope, new to the kink scene, or new to the area. We will reserve this time each month for folks to ask questions, get familiar with the space, and discuss basic safety and consent. This is a great time to come check out the Playhouse and get familiar with the area and the scene.
9: Technical tying time- we will take some time to work on technical skills. This might be something like working on specific knots or frictions, drills to work on tension and rope handling, components of harness, dedicated bottoming education, etc.
The rest of the evening is open tie! This is a very low-key, casual time to work on whatever you want- feel free to lab out a harness you’re working on, or do some self-tying or (with consent) have discussions and skillshare with folks around you. If you want help with something, chances are there is someone in the room that might have some suggestions.
Please keep in mind: this is NOT a play party. This is a space to learn and share knowledge. Discussion is welcome and encouraged. Both solo and partnered tying is welcome, as well as a variety of styles- there is more to rope than suspension. You can always come just to socialize too.
This is designed to be organic and the flavor of the event is created by the people who show up. The folks who organize this believe in creating space to share and exchange information to make rope as accessible as possible. Education is shared from an anti-oppression lens, recognizing the nuances and complexities of rope (a) from minority and marginalized perspectives, (b) from class and socio-economic lenses, and (c) in the midst of * gestures broadly at the world *
A couple things to keep in mind:
YOU MUST RSVP. RSPV 'Yes' or "Interested In', Cost to attend is $10/person. If this would be a hardship for you, PLEASE reach out to
If you’re interested in getting involved, suggesting technical topics, or teaching something, please reach out! Always looking for folks who are interested in sharing rope 101 skills, warm up activities, or basic ties to get the night started.
Come learn, come share, come collaborate, and get tangled up!
