Burgundy Rose

Rope switch, facilitator and self-suspension performer who began learning shibari at Anatomie Studio in London in 2016 and teaches and performs in the UK and internationally.

Burgundy Rose is a rope artist who teaches and performs in the UK and internationally. An Anatomie Studio listing identifies Burgundy Rose as a rope switch, facilitator and performer and dates the start of rope training to 2016. Daruma says Burgundy Rose began studying shibari at Anatomie Studio in London in 2016 and later learned from international educators. An Anatomie Studio biography says Burgundy Rose trained in contemporary dance, theatre and circus and studied aerial hoop on a degree program at Circomedia in Bristol. A 2019 Arts Council England grant funded training that included work with the rope artist Arnoys Nicolas in Brussels.

Teaching

Anatomie Studio says Burgundy Rose has taught and performed in several UK and European cities and in Portland, USA. Anatomie Studio listed The Body Speaks with Burgundy Rose for 7 and 8 February 2026 as a weekend of self-tying and self-suspension. For 21 and 22 November 2026 the studio lists a two-day class for improvers and advanced students, “A Pathway to Flow: Let’s Consider Bamboo”, taught with A-Nicolas. In Copenhagen, the studio of Red Lily lists Burgundy Rose as a special guest of its Queer Knots festival in November 2025.

Performance

Burgundy Rose performs a self-suspension piece called Surrender, which Daruma, a Berlin studio, described in its news section as a performance about art and surrender using minimal rope, spins and contorted shapes in the air. Daruma says Surrender was presented between the two days of a self-suspension workshop and connects its spinning sequences to Burgundy Rose’s circus training. Red Lily lists a Shibari Night with Burgundy Rose on 6 August 2026, followed by a discussion and rope jam. Anatomie Studio also named Burgundy Rose and SpringTide as guests of its Drawn to Rope life-drawing evening in May 2023.
