TAMANDUA & BRIKI: SHIBARI LIVE DRAWING PERFORMANCE
Seit seiner Eröffnung lädt das sihl13 regelmässig zum Live-Zeichnen & -Aktzeichnen ein. MItmachen darf, wer Freude daran hat – alle Stile und Niveaus sind herzlich willkommen. Arbeitsmaterial bringt jed’er selbst mit, ein wenig gibt’s notfalls auch zum Leihen. Bei diesem Live Drawing präsentieren Tamandua aus Berlin und Briki aus Stockholm ihre gemeinsame Fesselkunst. Dabei geht es nicht nur um das schmückend-ornamentale der Seile auf dem Körper. Entscheidend ist vielmehr der Prozess seiner Positionierung, seiner Gestaltung zur Skulptur, manchmal beinah…
TAMANDUA & BRIKI – SHIBARI MASTERCLASS: BODY IN ROPES / SUSPENSION & PLAY
With the Shibari Masterclasses we present excellent contemporary shibari artists from Europe and beyond to the advanced shibari community in Zurich. For this issue of the series we are very glad to again invite Tamandua from Berlin, his approach being “a mix between more ’classical’ erotic japanese semenawa (tormenting rope) and the wildly deconstructed styles of some European riggers” together with his rope partner Briki from Stockholm.
QUEER BONDAGE JAM ZÜRICH - SHIBARI IM SIHL13 - with Newbie Intro
Das sihl13 öffnet seine Türen dem Shibari Publikum… …FÜR DIE QUEERE COMMUNITY! EIN SCHÖNER TEXT KOMMT BALD ABER FÜR DEN MOMENT DER WICHTIGE HINWEIS: Das QUEER steht für die Lust am Queering – als Verb verstanden – da geht’s sowohl ums Queer-Sein, als auch um queeres Performen & Fesseln, weil Fesselspiele oft heteronormative Formen annehmen, was auch fein ist, aber wir wollen probieren, wie man erfinderisch auch mal was ganz anderes erleben kann. …FOR THE QUEER COMMUNITY! A BEAUTIFUL TEXT COMING SOON BUT FOR NOW THE IMPORTANT NOTE: QUEER stands for the pleasure of queering – understood as a verb - it's about being queer as well as queer performing & bondage, because bondage games often take on heteronormative forms, which is also fine, but we want to try out how you can also experience something completely different in an inventive way. Die japanische Kunst zu Fesseln ist eine faszinierende…
SHIBARI BASICS – FLOORWORK
Im Mittelpunkt dieses Workshops stehen die Grundlagen des Fesselns mit Seilen im japanischen Stil. Neben Basis- und Improvisationstechniken, klassischen Mustern und den unterschiedlichen Sicherheitsaspekten befassen wir uns auch mit Körperbewusstsein und Haltung, sowie mit der Interaktion und Kommunikation zwischen den Partnern. Dabei entdecken wir, wie Fesselnde und Gefesselte ihre Begegnung vielfältig gestalten können, im vertrauensvollen Spiel mit Macht und Unterwerfung, in empathischer Kommunikation und gegenseitiger Hingabe, in tiefer Verbindung und Intensität. Shibari, bzw. Kinbaku, wie die japanische Seilbondage auch…
SHIBARI BASICS - INTRO DAY
Rope bondage for newbies. On this day we create an easy and playful introduction for beginners and offer a refresher for people who have already attended a beginner's course and want to refresh their knowledge. The focus is on the basics of bondage with Japanese-style ropes.

(AN)OTHER ORGY
"A festival with unrestrained debauchery", says the Duden, "nocturnal Bacchus celebration; sacred act; mystical service; cultic secret meeting at night", says the etymology, "debauchery, revelry, licentiousness; (elevated) excess, excessiveness", says the synonym dictionary, "communal acts that deliberately violate morals", says the Wikipedia entry. An orgy! So legendary and yet so simply beautiful, or also quite crude. In any case, our cultural unconscious is full of nebulous ideas about what an orgy can be. Not for nothing is it on the bucket list for many. Wait no longer! Our three-day...

HOW TO BECOME A BETTER LOVER*** - AN ANTI SELF-HELP GUIDE
What makes a good lover for you (and here we mean all genders, just in case you are wondering)? The answers to this question are probably as varied as there are lovers! "As long as they kiss with intention, it's all good", "If I feel relaxed with them", "A nice apartment", "Size is honestly not unimportant", "Good knife play skills" or "Sensitive, curious, adventurous" are just some of the answers we've picked up in private surveys. To be honest, we don't know exactly what makes a good lover! But: We have good...
