Balkan Bound II – Fall 2025
For Balkan Bound II (2025) I travelled to Serbia with Keira as my model. We taught Playful and Dirty Kinbaku, hosted two kinbaku talks, explored Belgrade, and closed the event with a performance. A few impressions from our time at the festival.
Onawa Asobi, Europe – 2024
RopeMarks joined Onawa Asobi Europe 2024 in Antwerp as the European closing act. With the Shady Lady as my model, we brought an honest, direct RopeMarks performance to one of Europe’s key kinbaku events, known for its mix of Japanese and European practitioners.
