All too often, bondage games take on heteronormative forms - which is fine, but we want to try out inventive ways of experiencing something completely different.
Queering - as a verb - stands for the desire for a whole spectrum of: questioning, refreshing, making visible, playing, irritating, celebrating, trying out, liquefying, encouraging, expanding, inventing, solidarizing, mixing, standing by oneself, appropriating, becoming, transforming...
At the QUEER BONDAGE JAMS, we therefore want to give more space to creativity in general by giving an imaginative person the opportunity to inspire others with queer, creative and artistic ideas about bondage at the beginning of each event - after the newbie intro, i.e. at 3 pm.
May the fabulous develop!
KEEP IT! - TYING UP WITH STONES
In the first issue of the series, artist JADE ESCRIVÁ (pronoun: none / jade) inspires you to play bondage games with stones.
They are so beautifully heavy, smooth, rough, flat, round, cold and warm... We decorate the body with them, support deep relaxation through their coolness or warmth, use them as (un)cozy elements in the bondage, set the bound person special tasks. Ideally, we use everything together and create a session in which we explore the possibilities of playing with stones and ropes without any special knowledge of knots.
So bring lots of fine stones with you!
Who is JADE ESCRIVÁ?
Jade chose beauty at an early age and studied Fine Arts (Bogota), Sculpture (Munich) and Art Education (Bern). Jade is interested in performance and installation and investigates materials that are considered superfluous, particularly disgusting or undesirable in everyday life. Human hair, stones or food that grow unnoticed in the city are transformed into ephemeral sculptures that deal with questions of emancipation.
Here are some more general facts about tying up...
The Japanese art of bondage is a fascinating physical practice that offers a wide range of physical, mental and emotional experiences. Shibari has much in common with dance, yoga and meditation, and has a performative and a touching aesthetic dimension. The tied and the tied can shape their encounter in a variety of ways, in a trusting play with power and submission, in empathic communication and mutual devotion, in deep connection and intensity. An exciting body art that is worth exploring!
Anyone who would like to tie up together with others, exchange ideas or simply watch and gain some initial experience is cordially invited. The rooms are equipped with suspension points - some with bamboo poles - so that you can also work with suspensions.
We look forward to every visit, from the curious to the professional.
With intro for newbies
The intro for newbies is a short introduction for people who are taking part for the first time. It covers the first basics of rope bondage and in particular the basic safety and consent issues as well as how the QUEER BONDAGE JAM in particular is designed and who it is intended for.

DRESS CODE / DRESS CODE
Rope bondage is bodywork with close contact and the atmosphere at a bondage jam is also very important. For hygienic reasons alone, but also for aesthetic reasons, we ask that you do not participate in street clothes. We recommend at least clothing like for yoga, but even better: it can also be imaginative, crazy or comfortable in your own individual way, there are no limits to your well-being and creativity. Feeling ropes on your skin is nice, so clothing is also optional.

Rope bondage is bodywork with close body contact and at a bondage jam the atmosphere is a very important aspect. Already for hygienic reasons, but also for aesthetic considerations, we ask you not to participate in street clothes. We recommend at least yoga-style clothing, but even better: it can also be more fanciful, maybe fantastic or weird weird or in your own particular way comfortable - there are no further restrictions to your well-being and creativity. It's also nice to feel the ropes on your skin, therefore clothing is generally optional.
