In this class, Anya Demure & Donna will discuss important bottoming skills such as body awareness, communication, and vetting.  They will also touch on physical and emotional aspects of safety before, after, and during a scene.

This class is for bottoms, tops, and switches alike, as these skills are valuable for everyone.

You don’t need a partner for this workshop. This will be a valuable experience for all rope bottoms, whether attending solo or with a rope partner.

This workshop welcomes people of experience levels, ranging from people curious to try being tied to experienced rope bottoms.  

This workshop centers the voices, perspectives, and needs of rope bottoms (people in rope / people who get tied). If you are a rope top, you are welcome to attend, but please be aware of the space that you take up, and we invite you to attend to listen and process silently rather than speaking to the group during the workshop.

Anya Demure (she/her) is a rope bondage enthusiast, teacher, and performer who is especially jazzed about beginners education!  She is keen on creating and embodying  interesting physical shapes, and delights in enduring physically challenging rope experiences.  For her, rope bondage is endurance, sex, exercise, community, movement, art, collaboration, and mutual experience.  She is also dedicated to promoting bottom-inclusive education and presentation, and fostering safe, friendly, and encouraging learning environments.  She has been fortunate to teach, tie, and be tied in various communities in the US and abroad, but calls Brooklyn home.    

Donna Scarlett (she/her) is a queer femme who has been active in the NYC scene since 2015. Her kinks — from impact to rope bondage — explore the limits of power, creativity, and endurance. In all aspects of her play, Donna is a consummate overachiever, a determined edge player, and happy little masochist with a big happy mouth. As a bondage educator, Donna works to pass on her years of experience in rope to foster community, encourage exploration, and increase accessibility. Most of all, Donna is passionate about open communication and collaborative negotiation, recognizing the vulnerability of exploration on both sides of the slash.
