Project:Rope
Munich kinbaku project offering a space for classes, study groups, labbing, photography and performances.
Project:Rope is a Munich project for Japanese-inspired rope bondage. Its site lists classes, workshops, online classes, labbing and study groups, conversation, photography, sessions and performances. It frames kinbaku as being about the erotic connection between two people more than about the rope itself, and invites beginners who are curious to get in touch.
People
The site introduces two people, Jörg (InkJokey) and Julia. Jörg’s profile says he first worked with rope in January 2019, was a regular at the Munich RopeLab from March 2019, and has studied with Alexander MA and Natasha NawaTaNeko of Discover Kinbaku since 2020; he also names Michael RopeKnight and Petr Soptík among his teachers. He has taught in and around Munich since July 2023 and is a founding and board member of BightNight e.V. Julia’s profile names her exchange with Natasha and The Other Side of the Rope festival in Prague as formative.
Workshops and classes
- Entdecke Shibari: a six-hour beginner workshop on the basics and principles of tying, in theory and practice. No prerequisites.
- Entdecke Shibari II: six hours that deepen the basics and add first patterns; it assumes a beginner workshop plus single and double column ties.
- Basic Communication and Bodymovement: two hours on moving a partner and communicating during a session.
- Express yourself: Power: three hours on rope as a tool for self-expression, “with a pinch of sadism”; it assumes an understanding of tension and friction, ideally with a gote.
- Discover Uplines I and II: attaching uplines on bamboo and ring, then main and support lines, alternatives and finishes.
Project:Rope runs these itself or on commission, and other communities can book them; one was scheduled in Augsburg in November 2026. From September 2026 it also runs Project:Semenawa, a monthly study group on the basic patterns and principles of semenawa.
Performances
Jörg’s profile lists 2026 performances at Munich events (Libellenlust festival, SRD Play!, Kink’d up, where he also taught) and at a bar in Rosenheim, and names The Other Side of the Rope in Prague (2026), the Prague Shibari Festival (2022 and 2023) and Eurix in Berlin (2022) among other events.
