McArthur & McArthur presents:
BARKAS & ADDIE MASTERCLASS –
THE CITY OF KINBAKU
25th July & 26th July: Masterclass

EVENT DETAILS
A poetic journey to Barkas’ metaphorical city of Kinbaku. Barkas and Addie are picking up the participants and guide them through the many meanings rope can be filled with. We discuss communication via ropes, movement with ropes, and space in the context of ropes. This journey includes very simple techniques and more elaborate ones alike. Participants will get a deep insight in the philosophy and technique of Barkas’s and Addie’s work. We encourage all levels to participate and not to be afraid of challenges.
Teaching Consent:
Everyone is unique. We will show exercises that work for us. If you can’t, for any reason, practice an exercise, let us know and we can offer a workaround.

• Ropes! A basic set of 8 ropes minimum.
• Tying partners should be willing to get emotional with each other and explore their bodies as well as their psyche.
• We encourage all levels to participate and not to be afraid of challenges.

They have developed the “Interview Metaphor” as a way of understanding rope bondage and placing focus on the person in ropes, “Ranboo” which is a highly dynamic and stormy way of doing and thinking Kinbaku, as well as the “City of Kinbaku”, a poetics of Kinbaku. Addie is a switch and self-suspension enthusiast. She organizes regular workshops on dynamic self-suspension and versatile education both, for beginners and technically advanced.
