– Der Besuch des NEWBIE INTROs ist obligatorisch für Menschen, die zum ersten Mal die QUEER BONDAGE JAM besuchen möchten – unabhängig davon, ob sie Bondage Jams im Allgemeinen bereits kennen! Die Tickets für das Intro und die Jam müssen separat gebucht werden. –
Fesselspiele nehmen allzuoft heteronormative Formen an – was auch fein ist, aber wir wollen probieren, wie man erfinderisch auch mal was ganz anderes erleben kann.
Queering - als Verb - steht für die Lust an einem ganzen Spektrum an: hinterfragen, erfrischen, sichtbarmachen, spielen, irritieren, feiern, ausprobieren, verflüssigen, ermutigen, erweitern, erfinden, solidarisieren, vermischen, zu sich stehen, aneignen, werden, verwandeln...
Bei den QUEER BONDAGE JAMS wollen wir deswegen der Kreativität ganz generell mehr Raum geben, indem wir an den Beginn jeder Veranstaltung – nach dem Newbie Intro, also um 15 Uhr – einem einfallsreichen Menschen Gelegenheit geben, andere mit queeren, kreativen und künstlerischen Ideen rund um das Fesseln zu inspirieren.
Möge sich Fabulöses entwickeln!
INTO THE DARK
As our shadows grow longer and the nights come sooner, we may start to feel a shift in ourselves, our goals, our interests, our fantasies. The change of light signals the change of the seasons, and while we may continue in our usual patterns, nature has other plans.
We invite you to slow down and experience these changes. Let's explore this dark space, or rather the slow transition to darkness, with a jam that uses no electric lighting. The jam will run as always, in the bright lovely afternoon light of serratus, but as the sun sets, and the room darkens, you may find your sense for tying shifting towards more touch, sound, and feeling, rather than the visual.
At some point, we may move completely to the floor (suspensions asking for more visual attention than what the light provides) and create dark shapes and sounds. Feel into what energy the darkness holds, what it reveals and what it hides.
There will be no typing demonstration, but rather we will all transition together into the dark.
Und hier noch Allgemeineres zum Fesseln…
Die Kunst zu Fesseln ist eine faszinierende Körperpraxis, die ein breites Spektrum von physischen, mentalen und emotionalen Erfahrungen bereithält. Shibari hat mit Tanz, mit Yoga und Meditation vieles gemeinsam, hat eine performative und eine berührende ästhetische Dimension. Fesselnde und Gefesselte können ihre Begegnung vielfältig Gestalten, im vertrauensvollen Spiel mit Macht und Unterwerfung, in empathischer Kommunikation und gegenseitiger Hingabe, in tiefer Verbindung und Intensität. Eine spannende Körperkunst, die zu erkunden sich lohnt!
Alle, die Lust haben, gemeinsam mit anderen zu fesseln, sich auszutauschen oder einfach mal zuzuschauen und erste Erfahrungen zu sammeln, sind herzlich eingeladen. Die Räumlichkeiten sind mit Hängepunkten – zum Teil mit Bambusstangen – ausgestattet, sodass auch mit Suspensions gearbeitet werden kann.
We look forward to every visit, from the curious to the professional.

FURTHER INFORMATION
ENTRANCE
Admission to the WINTA BONDAGE JAM and the QUEER BONDAGE JAM is restricted to certain admission times. The doors are only open at the times stated above. Entry is through the garden and the large red door to the studio. Please take off your shoes outside and take them and all your belongings through the studio into the kitchenette and changing room. You should only take those items into the studio that you really need to tie up. Drinks are only allowed in the studio in sealable bottles.
DRESS CODE
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.
MATERIAL
Please bring all the materials you need for tying yourself - ropes, safety scissors / cutter, carabiner, ring. There are always one or two hanging bamboo poles on site. We also have a few practice ropes for newbies. In principle, however, everyone should have their own equipment.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE EVENT
The aims of our events are to learn together as a group and to support joint processes as well as personal development. Couples and all other types of partnerships or constellations are welcome, but you should be aware and open to the fact that the courses are not designed as partnership experiences and that we address each person as an individual. For example, in order to include all participants equally, we usually work with random partner combinations in the exercises. This means that there will be both the same and different gender combinations. Participants should generally be open to working with any person and any body. Exceptions can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Gender identity, sexual orientation, age or membership of often marginalized groups such as BBIPoC, migrants, refugees, LGBTQIA*, disabled people, etc. are not criteria when registering and selecting participants. This means that, in principle, everyone is equally welcome and we endeavor to do justice to the respective constellation and different needs, but our resources are limited. If you have any questions in this regard, please contact us.
We expect you to be careful, communicative, consent-oriented and mindful, and we encourage you to respect your own boundaries and self-responsibility.
Hate speech will not be tolerated. Please bring "candy speech".
We reserve the right to ask participants to leave the workshop should their behavior be hurtful or too problematic, and we reserve the right to do so without explanation - although we will likely try to explain. Workshop fees would then be refunded in full. Further claims are then excluded.
