Barkas
I am a bondage educator, performance artist, and writer.
I have developed Ranboo and the Interview metaphor, and am a licensed Osada Ryu instructor and Yukimura Ryu instructor.
I have given performances and Workshops all over the world, such as at Shibaricon (‘14 & ‘15 & ’16) in Chicago, at Moscow Knot, at Kannawa Kai in Tokyo, at West Coast Bound in Vancouver, FIRE in Orlando, Place des Cordes in Paris, and many other events.
One of my special focuses is the implementation of various philosophical, sociological, physical, mathematical, and historical ideas into my approach. These are found in the metaphor of tying as an interview – a certain mindset that prioritizes individuality, and leads to the development of a unique style. Intellectuality and emotionality don’t contradict each other, they allow the rigger to fill the techniques with life, to focus on the person not the pattern, and to make enjoyment the goal of every scene. I don’t tie people, I tie with them. These thoughts have been recently condensed in the book “Archaeology of personalities – a linguistic approach to erotic rope bondage.”
I work most of the time with my partner Addie.

Addie
I stumbled into rope several years ago and quickly got hooked. I love the range and creativity possible with such an adaptable medium. These days I wear many hats – bottom, rigger, self-suspender, educator, performer, advocate, and amateur in the old sense of the word. I have spent the past couple years adventuring, learning, and teaching with my partner Barkas at events around the globe, where my focus has been on supplementing his teachings with bottoming information and education. I have had the immense good fortune of spending time with some fantastic people on my tumble down the rabbit hole, and I’m happy to have the opportunity to pass on some of what I have learned along the way.
