Pics from My Shibari show @ Sydney Art Month

Hi A/all!

Just a quick blog about My show last night for Sydney Art Month at the National School of Art in honour of International Women's Day!

I suspended My friend in shibari rope bondage in a complex costume of breasts - that was half the challenge - then fisted her fabulous (fake) vagina, pulling out a sign about the death of 1st wave Feminist Art!

It was totally amazing and really abstract to bring our art and My shibari to a generally straight, serious art crowd...

They were receptive though after I started on a absurdist tip and horsed around with My friends cunt and the sign!

Here we are performing on My new collapsible portable suspension frame - a gift from some friends who didn't use it and thought I would. THANKS GUYS! :)

Best,

Shots from My fab Shibari Hybrid Trapeze show!

WHAT a SHOW!

If you missed it, you missed the best shibari show I've done, to date, hands down.

At The Chamber last Saturday night, the amazing aerials artist and dancer Paloma Negra and I held court and presented our world first static trapeze shibari rope bondage hybrid show to a spellbound crowd!

Apparently, one mark of how good a show is is the LACK of drink sales during a performance.

I'd like to apologise to The Red Rattler for hosting us and then not making a buck when we were in the air! 

Check these images from the fabulous local photographer Roberto Duran who kindly offered to shoot Myself and Paloma Negra in performance!

The above image is Myself taking the meaning of "Rope bondage Top" to new ah, "heights"! I'm here in My very first full-on aerials move, a toe hang, (which scared the shit out of Me) on the top bar of the trap.

Thanks must go to BNB Studios Marrickville and Paloma Negra Theatre for being crucial in taking My performance to a new level of skill and daring. 

I was musing with Paloma the other day that, a few years ago, I totally felt at an impass with My performance.

Now, I'm well and truly past that. I have INVENTED a new style of hybrid performance with Paloma, bondage on the static trap.

Best, whether up or downside...

Show at The Chamber this Sat night!

Hey A/all!

I'm up in lights again, this time with My biggest and best show ever!

I'm performing alongside the amazing aerials artist, Paloma Negra from Paolma Negra Theatre, at Sydney's goth fetish club "The Chamber", this Saturday night!

We're performing our own WORLD FIRST - a static trapeze and contemporary shibari rope bondage act, one of great technical proficiency and intensity!

These are some wonderful shots by Melbourne photographer Andrew Bott from the first time we had an opportunity to showcase our skills, at Oz Kink Fest in Melbourne in 2015.

It's a great honour to manifest ideas and perform alongside such a respected and diverse artist.

Paloma Negra at Paloma Negra Theatre is a dancer, choreographer and aerialist and has been performing professionally for 23 years.

She has also trained in martial arts and in the Japanese dance art form Butoh.

Please check out her profile, I am so lucky to work with her again! Click on the image below of her in a recent performance...

At the time of writing tickets were 90% sold out, so don't miss out on this rare opportunity to see Me in one of My greatest performances in Sydney!

Best, up in lights!

Shots from Shibari at Hellfire Resurrection

Image by Andrew BottWOW! What a totally amazing show!

It's not every day that you INVENT a completely NEW GENRE OF PERFORMANCE. 

But that's just what I and the fabulous aerialist Paloma Negra just did.

I met Paloma only recently but we hit it off like a house on fire!

And that's exactly what we did when we performed at Hellfire Resurrection on the 25th Sept in Melbourne for Australia's biggest BDSM event "Oz Kink Fest" - we set the house afire!

We combined My shibari prowess and Paloma's trapeze skills to create something we've NOT seen before and CAN'T find anywhere else the whole world over; a hybrid performance genre combining Shibari and Aerials, specifically the static trapeze.

(If it's not already on Youtube, it doesn't exist!!)

I tied Paloma to the bottom rung of the trapeze, where she explored her shapes. I then tied Myself to the topmost "spreader bar" (yes, really!) then inverted Myself, drawing on My previous experience in self shibarisuspension. 

I then re-tied her to the same spreader bar and we hit on different classic kinbaku positions, with the final moment with Paloma exploding out of a double futomomo tie with beautiful red shibari rope hanging down! you really did need to be there to see it to believe it.

We both walked off the stage knowing we'd just done something utterly intense - and also totally unique...

As soon as I have video footage, you'll see it here.

Best, in the air and on the ground!

Shots of My latest Shibari show!

Hi A/all,

Forget just sessions - I've recently been back on stage with My another new Shibari rope bondage suspension show!

I performed at The Imperial Hotel on the Australia Day long weekend at Marcell Dettmann, one of Germany's biggest underground club DJ's.

The music was huge and the atmosphere was dirty, a really great night to do a warped show!

In a rared solo, I performed a risky Shibari self-suspension where I transitioned through a couple of different shapes, to rest finally in a fully inverted suspension.

Once completely upside down in suspension, I hit the lights I was wearing and all the mirror balls hung off My black latex hoop skirt dangled in the air, creating a flurry of light and movement!

Naturally, I was wearing rubber and fully hooded - just the way you know I prefer it!

I far prefer to tie others to best showcase My rope skills. This time I thought I'd push Myself to be the one suspended though - as I so frequently push you who follow Me here!

I wanted to revisit a style of tying I haven't explored in ages, to experiment with what range and diversity I could offer My audience...

It was an intense show and I was honoured to be asked to perform at yet another Australian club event.

Many thanks to SX Magazine and the fabulous Robert Knapman for the great photos!

Enjoy the shots and know I'll blog again soon with great news of a visiting International Mistress I'll be hosting here over the next few weeks.

(If you have your ear to the Sydney scene, you'll all know exactly who I mean!)

Best, on land or in the air! :D
