禁羈無涯：邀訪系列【Kristina Marlen】

English Version Below

縛生於2017年底，開啟邀訪系列活動，
邀請 SM 圈各領域國際嘉賓來台分享，舉辦課程、工作坊、表演等。

這次邀請到 Kristina Marlen ，內容包含團體工作坊、私人教學、個案體驗。

結合譚崔與 SM 的 Kristina Marlen 來自德國柏林。她原本主修法律、文化科學、與物理治療，後來決定成為全職性工作者。具有舞者、表演者、身體工作者、與瑜珈老師的背景，使她發展出豐富、多重角度的技術。Marlen 熱愛日式繩縛。對她來說，一場繩縛是一趟感性與支配的探索。目前她以 BDSM 與繩縛講師的身分在各國遊歷，講授她獨特的技術與見解。

在調教與工作坊中，她把 BDSM 和譚崔、舞蹈、接觸即興等身體工作結合，開啟探索的空間。她認為如此可使身體更能感受、更易吸收、更透出自發性。視界會更清晰、好奇心被喚醒。我們釋放自己，更容易體察到不論強大或細微的衝動、服從、痛楚、濃度、與慾望。

內容

[體現的繩縛，受縛的身體，動態繩縛實踐]

12/30 週六 第一班 12:00 – 14:30

優先考慮身體：這是每次我綁人時最重視的。比起看著繩子，我是看著繩子之下的那副身體。我需要去感受、去瞭解我綁的身體，我感受我自己的身體連結著對方的身體。

這堂課是關於「身體優先」。

在這個工作坊中我們會去探索人體的生物力學 —— 人體的折疊、伸展、扭轉的可能性。運用這三個元素，我們可以找到新的道途去即興繩縛，而這美好的體驗，能讓綁與被綁的雙方都獲得愉悅。

我們會探索，將「動覺綁縛」當成工具去深化繩縛實踐。掌握一副動態的人體、保持覺察地去綑綁，運用距離的遠與近，挑戰繩手走出舒適圈在綁縛時將自己的身體加入利用。

這個工作坊包含身體運作探索，包含獨自進行與雙人互相練習，包含不用繩子的與使用繩子的。我們會使用即興的工具來把這些知識帶進繩縛操作中。

• 程度需求：這個工作坊都在地板上進行，歡迎任何程度的學員。
  不過基本的繩縛知識還是需要的，課程中不會解釋如何打結、如何做扣。
• 名額：22人
  課程內容包含與搭檔輪流互相練習。請結伴報名。獨自報名者必須願意與陌生新朋友一起練習，包含輪流互相綁。（主辦方將協助獨自者在課程前找到搭檔）

[展翅：初階]

12/30 週六 第二班 15:00 – 17:30

這整堂課都是關於肩膀和上半身。

我們將會由此開始：扎實的解剖學的探索手臂與肩膀，瞭解上身部位的柔軟度可能性與侷限，瞭解手臂、軀幹上身、脊椎的連結關係。跟隨體現的學習，包含理論與實務，包含用繩與不用繩。

花點時間，我們將把這些知識轉譯成即興繩縛的新選項。論及這樣的知識對於高手小手縛的意義，當每個人有各自不同的身體條件。

介紹改良版的 Butterfly harness 蝴蝶繩（譯註：一種歐美流行的軀幹綁法）。將受縛者的翅膀從地心引力中拉伸開或拘束起，可以是玩繩縛時的一種新選項。

• 程度需求：中高階。若擁有基礎的吊縛知識會有幫助。
• 名額：20人
  課程內容包含與搭檔練習。請結伴報名。獨自報名者必須願意與陌生新朋友一起練習，包含輪流互相綁。（主辦方將協助獨自者在課程前找到搭檔）

[展翅：進階]

12/31 週日 第一班 12:00 – 14:30

這個工作坊將建立在我們學過的關於肩膀跟上身的知識。延續初階課堂中的解剖學探索還有體現的學習。

• 程度需求：中高階，且參加過展翅初階課程者。
  例外須經講師與主辦方同意。需要基礎吊縛知識。
• 名額：20人
  課程內容包含與搭檔練習。請結伴報名。獨自報名者必須願意與陌生新朋友一起練習，包含輪流互相綁。（主辦方將協助獨自者在課程前找到搭檔）

[臨在，韻律，精神空間]

12/31 週日 第二班 15:00 – 17:30

在這堂課中，將會使用即興元素、和身心的與展現的身體工作，將它們轉化成繩縛。
這可以打開你繩縛實踐的新視野，從套路僵化的困擾中解放。我們將用令人耳目一新的視角，彼此觀看與被觀看。進行展現的實驗，看看這是否能深化你與同伴的親密、進入精神空間。

這個工作坊是在深化你與伴侶的覺知，關於時間與空間、美與臨在、豐盛、心靈，還有別忘了 —— 幽默。

• 程度需求：歡迎任何程度的學員。
• 名額：20人
  課程內容包含與搭檔練習。請結伴報名。獨自報名者必須願意與陌生新朋友一起練習，包含輪流互相綁。（主辦方將協助獨自者在課程前找到搭檔）

Shibaru.Life will be hosting international dominatrix Kristina Marlen during the weekend of New Year’s Eve, and give a series of workshops.

Kristina Marlen works as a tantric dominatrix in Berlin. She studied law, cultural sciences and later physiotherapy before she decided to be a full time sexworker. With her background as as dancer and performer as well as bodyworker and yoga teacher, she developed a multi-angled and versatile approach to her work. Marlen’s passion is Japanese Rope bondage, which for her is a way to have an inspiring journey between sensuality and domination. She´s now traveling internationally as a BDSM and Rope Instructor with her own method of sensual domination.

In her sessions and workshops, she creates an explorative space by using elements of Tantra and BDSM combined with dance, body work, and contact improvisation. In her view, like this our bodies become sensual, receptive, and permeable for spontaneity. Perception is sharpened, curiosity is awakened, and we open ourselves for strong as well as subtle impulses, surrender, pain, intensity, and lust.

Group workshops

In these series of courses, each person will learn both to tie and be tied. You must be okay to switch roles.

Embodied Rope, Body in Ropes, Moving Your Rope Practice

30th Dec, 12:00 – 14:30

Body comes first: whenever I tie, this is what matters for me. Rather than seeing the rope, I see the body in ropes. I have to feel and understand the body I tie. I feel my own body in connection to the body I tie.

This class is about body first.

In this workshop we explore biomechanics of the human body – its abilities to fold, expand, to spiral. Working with these three elements we can find new paths into rope improvisation and can have results of beauty and grace – pleasing for the model as well as the rigger.

We will explore kinesthetic tying as a tool for deepening the rope practise. Handling a body in motion and kinesthetic tying, working with proximity and distance, and challenging the rigger to go out of their comfort zone in making their own body available whilst tying.

The workshop will include exploration of body function, with oneself and with a partner, hands on with and without rope. We are working with improvisation tools to bring this knowledge into rope work.

This workshop will most likely stay on the floor and is open to all levels. Basic rope knowledge is required though, as knots and frictions won´t be explained in detail.

Max. 22 people (come in couples or you must be ok being partnered with a stranger/new friend – if this is the case, you must be ok switching (community organizers will help solo people form pairs before the workshop))

Spreading Wings Part I

30th Dec, 15:00 – 17:30

This workshop is all about the shoulder and upper torso.

We will start with a solid anatomical exploration of arms and shoulders, understand flexibilities and limitations, connections of arms, torso and spine. Following embodied learning, this will be both theoretical and practical, with and without rope.

Given time, we will translate that knowledge into new options of improvisation as well as considering what this means for tying a TK, as people are different and have different body structures.

Presenting the modified Butterfly harness, we have new options to play with spread and restrain your partners wings out of gravity.

Open for intermediate/advanced. Basic knowledge for suspension is helpful.

Max. 20 people(come in couples or you must be ok being partnered with a stranger/new friend – if this is the case, you must be ok switching (community organizers will help solo people form pairs before the workshop))

Spreading Wings Part II

31st Dec, 12:00 – 14:30

This workshop will build upon our learning about the shoulder and upper torso.

We will continue with our anatomical explorations and embodied learning.

Open for intermediate/advanced who have attended Spreading Wings Part I or by permission of instructor or community leaders only. Basic knowledge for suspension is required.

Max. 20 people (come in couples or you must be ok being partnered with a stranger/new friend – if this is the case, you must be ok switching (community organizers will help solo people form pairs before the workshop))

12/31 Presence, Rhythm, Space

31st Dec, 15:00 – 17:30

In this class we will use parameters of improvisational, somatic and performative bodywork and translate them to rope work.

This can open new perspectives on your rope practise and liberates patterns we get stuck into while tying. We use the refreshing aspect of being watched and watching others, experimenting with performativity and see if this is might deepen intimacy to your partner and opening ourselves to space.

The workshop is on deepening perception, of yourself and your partner, about time and space, about grace and presence, about lushness, spirit and – never forget – humour.

Open for all levels.

Max. 20 people (come in couples or you must be ok being partnered with a stranger/new friend – if this is the case, you must be ok switching (community organizers will help solo people form pairs before the workshop))
