Dual Demons

Dual Demons is a duo of Devon and Cass, who describe themselves as non-binary, trauma-informed kink educators and performers. The Twisted Windows troupe page, which lists them as members, says they specialize in rope suspension with a circus flavor and in building queer, anarchist spaces, and that they are based in Santa Cruz, California.

People

The duo’s about page gives Devon’s pronouns as they/them and Cass’s as they/she. Devon’s biography says Devon has done rope as a top, a bottom and a self-suspender, makes chains, and wants people to feel strong and secure when tied. Cass’s biography calls Cass a kink educator and lists drag, aerial arts, costume design and teaching classes among Cass’s activities.

Teaching

The classes and events page lists a drop-in shibari program called the Bael Series, including “Building a Rope Scene”, “Creating connection” and “Frictions, Hitches, & Weaving”. The listing says no partner is needed, since material is adapted for self-tying, and that capacity is limited. One class description says the duo deliberately teaches single column and double column ties of the non-collapsible kind and uses them almost exclusively in their own tying.

The same page lists a monthly rope lab and rope jam at The 418 Project, a Santa Cruz venue, on the last Tuesday of the month. The experiences page offers private floor and suspension sessions in Santa Cruz County and describes a safety approach that starts each session with a consultation about past injuries and includes regular check-ins. The troupe page also notes that the duo offers private lessons.

Performance

The troupe page lists the duo’s performance roles as tyer and flyer. The events page announced a “Queer Variety Show” for October 2026, billed as the last show the duo would produce, set at The 418 Project in Santa Cruz on October 9 and 10. The listing is an announcement; the sources checked do not report how it went.
