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

Shibari show at Aust Power Exchange Contest

Hi A/all,

As promised, I'm dedicating a post here to My most recent shibari rope bondage show at the Australian Power Exchange Title Contest on Oct 19th...

It was definitely My very best show to date!

I tied My co-performer Shuga with My ubiquitous red rope into what is called a Tippy Lyra. This is a device used by aerialists clearly shown in the shots - a hoop like device that hangs parallel to the floor. (It weighs about 10kgs!)

We then raised her in the air and she worked the lyra, spinning and twisting through the hoop using the rope to hang in the middle of the circle...

It was magic!

Shuga was even able to hang straight off the lyra, making her look like she was hanging in the air supported by nothing at all! (I'd used black ropes on the suspension line, so it didn't read as clearly as the red ropes, from a distance...)

The thing I really loved about this show was that, as Shuga informed Me later, all her moves were determined by the random and arbitrary arrangements of the rope and the hoop together. This meant that she could not decide where she was going to move to or land, meaning every movement she made and shape she created was totally spontaneous!

It was rope and aerials magic!

I'm proud to say we've already had inquiries about a repeat show next January...

Best, on land or air!

Shibari show, Workshops at "Beyond Leather" Florida, USA May 1-4

Hi A/all!

I'm en route to Fort Lauderdale, Florida right now for one of the world's foremost BDSM lifestyle conferences, "Beyond Leather", from May 1st - 4th!

I'm really excited to be presenting 2 workshops - my favourites - "Heavy Sensory Deprivation" and "Takedown bondage"...

I'm so excited as this is the very first time I'll present My own workshops in the USA!

I've not been involved in a major kink event overseas before, so I'm really keen to meet new people and also experience tuition from the other USA based presenters! 

I'm even more excited though as I'm doing a rope bondage show, too! This is an international first for Me and it's a part of My creativity that challenges Me the most! This is an aspect of My life I really want to grow, so I jumped at the opportunity to show 'em what I got!

I'll be sure to show you some great shots of My performance when I get some, but here's one from a previous show to remind you what I'm capable of!

If you follow this blog, you'll also know that after Florida I'll be traveling to New York for sessions! I can't wait!

My dates again in NY are:

Available May 5th at NYC Rubber Studio, Midtown

Up to 14th May

Available in Sydney again for sessions, 17th May

If you are curious about more information about My sessions in NY, please view My 2nd most previous blog for more details!

For those in the States who are looking to book Me I'll have a local US number soon. I'll be sure to advertise it here and on all My different ads.

So, feel free to call Me over the weekend of May 2-4th and we can talk - so looking forward to sessioning for the first time in NY!

Best,

MT

Shots from My shows @ WA Fetish Ball!

Hey A/all,

As you know, I travelled to Perth recently for two shows at the hugely successful WA Fetish Ball on Halloween!

I'd never performed before in My old home town and I've just had the shots come through... I'd love to share then with you here!

Here's some shots of My first show with My friend the fabulous Rubber Bunny!

We did takedown bondage, shibari, knife play and I threw some cigar play in there too - just because I love it!

I was dressed in head to ah, well *not quite* "toe" military style leather - no complaints there from the crowd! ;)

I had a great night and loved performing for the fet crew in Perth! The theme was medical and military, so I did two shows showcasing My shibari bondage skills, leather, rubber, vintage medical gear and My penchant for the zany!

I'd like to thank the Voodoo Lounge for inviting Me, Warped Photography and Wild Kat Photography for shooting Me while on stage and for the fabulous Rubber Bunny for being My co-performer!

I had a wonderful time working with the staff on the night too, thanks so much for all your help! :)

It's been a dream to fly around Australia to do shows - and I'm LIVING the dream!

Stay tuned and let's see what I can come up with for NEXT year! ;)

Best,

MT
