pandoradreams

pandoradreams, who writes the name in lower case, is a rope educator, performer and event organizer in Denver, Colorado. The presenter biography published by the Rope in the Rockies convention and the instructor notes on Studio Friction’s class listings are the main sources about her work.

Organizing

According to the Rope in the Rockies biography, pandoradreams has been involved since 2013 in creating Denver Rope Bite, the Ropegasm parties and the Rope in the Rockies convention, including its 2018 and 2025 editions, along with multiple weekend intensives over a period of eight years. An instructor note published by Studio Friction in 2021 describes her as a member of the Denver kink community for eight years, during which she served as education coordinator for Denver Rope Bite and as education coordinator and producer of Rope in the Rockies, and calls her an enthusiastic advocate of high-quality, comprehensive rope education. The convention biography says that she has recently taken a break from the rope community, but that her love of rope, teaching and planning large events remains.

Teaching

She has taught for Denver Rope Bite, at regional conventions and at Studio Friction, the Denver studio for rope and aerial arts, both as a curriculum instructor and as the teacher of day-long advanced intensives. Two of those intensives are documented on the studio’s event pages. In September 2020 she and a co-teacher named g ran “Non-TK Transitions”, a mini intensive on dynamic suspension transitions built on chest harnesses other than the takate kote, comparing them with transitions that rely on a takate kote and covering the tying and safety considerations involved. In May 2021 she and athena taught “Intro to Bamboo Suspension”, a half-day class on tying to an overhead bamboo pole; the studio added a second session because of demand. Studio Friction’s note also mentions her experience in performing with rope and in rope photography, mainly in the Denver area, and her background as a rope bottom, which she brings into her classes.

Rope in the Rockies describes her teaching style as thinking outside the box, adapting to the situation and developing creativity. The convention’s current workshop list includes her class “Deconstruct!!”, an all-levels session in which tying pairs look at images of different rope harnesses, try to reproduce each tie as closely as they can, and then explain to the group how they approached the reconstruction and what they changed for their partner, while the people who were tied share what they liked and disliked about the result.

Performance

The convention biography adds that she has performed at several venues in Denver and has created rope work that local photographers have captured.
