Sophia Rose

Sophia Rose is a rope educator, performer and model working in London. The Karada House organiser page and the Prague Shibari Festival biography both place the start of the rope practice in 2013.

Background

A biography published by the Prague Shibari Festival in 2018 says Sophia found rope in late 2013 and worked first as a rope bottom, with performing following. According to that text, rope has taken Sophia to perform, run workshops and appear at festivals in the UK, Europe, Japan, Russia and the USA, and the biography names riggers and artists with whom Sophia has modeled, taught alongside or performed, among them Pedro, Fred Hatt, Anna Bones, Felix Ruckert, Hedwig and Gestalta. Sophia’s own website repeats the 2013 start and says Sophia has performed, hosted talks and taught at events in the UK and internationally, and names modeling as the first route into the field.

Teaching

Karada House describes Sophia as a facilitator and artist who delivers accessible, plain-spoken teaching about rope, sexuality and BDSM from a trauma-aware standpoint. On Sophia’s own site, the teaching is described as collaborative and experiential, with rope presented as a partnership in which both people learn, and private tuition is offered in London.

Karada House lists two online workshops by Sophia for late 2026. Building Confidence as a New (or Anxious) Rope Top, dated 24 November 2026, deals with beginnings and endings of scenes, presence, blanking out and checking in. Solo Self-Ties for Frazzled Nervous Systems, dated 29 December 2026, offers guided prompts for a calming self-tie.

Festivals and conferences

The Prague Shibari Festival announced Sophia Rose as a performer for its 2018 edition. Karada House lists Sophia in the line-up of Queerope 2022 and, with the country given as the UK, in the line-up of Queerope Berlin 2026, a five-day conference for LGBTQIA+ people and women in September 2026.
