📝 Note: This is a fully clothed, non-sexual educational rope event focused on technique, communication, and embodied attunement. It adheres to Eventbrite’s Community Guidelines.

Tension is the heart of rope. Whether you're creating a secure tie, crafting a sensual experience, or dancing between pain and pleasure, the pressure you apply—and how you adjust it—defines the entire scene.

In this hands-on class, Rorpheus guides you through how to feel, manage, and direct tension in your rope. You’ll explore how subtle shifts in pressure affect comfort, stability, and emotion, and how to adjust based on body type, tie purpose, or energetic tone. You’ll also learn Rorpheus' personal variation of the Modified Takate Kote (TK)—a structured chest harness designed to highlight how tension creates meaning in the body.

💫 What You’ll Explore:

🔹 Tension Techniques: Learn how to control tightness for both structure and sensation.

🌀 Pressure Mapping: Discover where to apply pressure and where to avoid it for safety and intention.

🪢 Responsive Tying: Develop the ability to adapt in real time to your partner’s feedback, movement, and breath.

🔗 Tightness vs. Compression: Understand the difference—and how each affects the person in rope.

🎯 Workshop Format:

1. Rope demos and tension testing with Rorpheus using his variation of a Modified Takate Kote (TK) to highlight adaptable tension, joint compression, and support
2. Partnered and solo-friendly drills
3. Feedback from instructor and community
4. All levels welcome

🧶 Guided Jam (10:00–11:45 PM):

Practice pressure-controlled ties, play with sensation styles, or explore flow-based rope using the techniques from class. Optional prompts will focus on dynamic tension changes and tying with intention.

🎲 Jam Game: "The Pressure Switch"

Pairs will take turns tying each other with the challenge of changing tension levels mid-tie. Each round, the bottom will call out one of three modes: Support, Sensual, or Struggle. The top must adjust the rope tension accordingly without untying. After three shifts, reverse roles!

This playful challenge sharpens your adaptability, deepens partner communication, and helps integrate dynamic pressure into your scenes.
