PRESENTER: Kanso is a teacher, performer and visual artist of Japanese rope bondage (Shibari). He was first introduced to the world of Shibari while visiting Japan in 2006 and has spent the last 13 years refining his rope practice and skills. In 2010 he co-created Bondage Erotique with the intent of introducing a more sensual and intimate approach to rope bondage. He has taught rope intensives in NYC, L.A. Atlanta, Dallas, Portland, San Antonio, D.C, etc, and has performed extensively at corporate events, art shows & music festivals across the U.S. In 2017, Kanso started the Kiss of Rope with the intention of bringing the art of Japanese rope more into the mainstream, through performance art and private instruction. The aim is to raise awareness of Shibari as a transformational practice that helps build deeper intimacy, connection, and sensuality between partners. Kanso was a regular rope instructor at the SF Armory/Kink.com for four years until it closed its doors in 2018 and taught the year-long Shibari curriculum taking students from beginner through to suspension. He continues to offer several on-going monthly classes and events in his hometown of San Francisco. https://www.instagram.com/kanso_kinbaku/ [https://www.instagram.com/kanso_kinbaku/] SHIBARI SCHOOL WEBSITE: https://www.theropecircle.com/ [https://www.theropecircle.com/] Personal Website: http://kissofrope.com/ [http://kissofrope.com/] Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/kanso [https://vimeo.com/kanso] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kanso.ropeartist [https://www.facebook.com/kanso.ropeartist]
