Misungui is a performer and teacher whose workshops on stool-based shibari and weight-based rope work have been listed by Daruma in Berlin and Querverbindungen in Vienna.
Background
The organizers’ biography says Misungui has worked as a performer and activist for 15 years and began exploring creative sexuality while studying gender studies. It lists neo-burlesque, shibari, BDSM, sex education, podcasting and writing among the areas of work. Querverbindungen’s workshop text adds that the host has tied people of many body types for over ten years and aims to adapt classic shibari forms to all bodies and abilities.
Teaching
Daruma listed “Shibari from/with a Stool” with Misungui and Tree Ropes for 12 October 2024 in Berlin, and Querverbindungen listed a workshop of the same name for 12 April 2025 at CRUCIBLE in Vienna. The listing presents the stool as an ergonomic aid that protects the rigger’s body and helps with taller or heavier models. It works through the kata ashi and the crab tie and also covers tying on furniture and creative floorwork. Participants were expected to have experience with floorwork and partial suspension.
Querverbindungen listed Misungui’s “Climb on your model!” at CRUCIBLE for 13 April 2025, exploring the use of a rigger’s weight in rope work. It begins with applying pressure safely on the floor and moves to building a suspension line suited to that purpose, safe climbing and body placement. Both Vienna workshops were listed in English and required registration as a couple.
