For this event I will be providing two master classes.

Details soon

 

The term “masterclass” comes from music and arts education, where masters would publicly coach advanced students, often in front of peers. The audience learned as much from the feedback as from the performance itself.

 

Who’s RopeMarks?

RopeMarks, also known as Bob Roos, is a kinbaku professional from Amsterdam, the Netherlands

He started studying and specializing himself professionally in Japanese rope bondage (shibari, kinbaku) in 1999. Over his career he studied in the land of the rising sun under the lineage of the late Akechi Denki (明智伝鬼) and Naka Akira (奈加あきら). RopeMarks’ work reflects the traditional techniques taught by these leading kinbakushi but is vastly complemented with his own distinct and unique style.

He is famous for his energetic performances in Japanese rope bondage in which he combines traditional kinbaku with  his own distinct and unique style.

 

A RopeMarks master class is an advanced learning space for experienced practitioners. It is not about teaching patterns, but about refining presence, intention, and decision-making. We work with nuance, timing, and relational dynamics rather than fixed techniques. Participants are expected to already have a solid foundation in rope. The focus is on deepening personal voice and embodied understanding.
