縛生很高興邀請到 Pedro 於一月最後一個週末來台，開設兩堂繩課以及一場演講！
Pedro 對繩縛十數年來的熱情自 2003 開始。2004 年他與明智伝鬼學繩縛，並在明智伝鬼過世後繼續與神凪學習，兩人對其風格的影響持續至今。他頻繁造訪日本進修與研究。2014 年奈加あきら在柏林 Schwelle 7 開課後，Pedro 也開始研究奈加流。此外他對捕繩術的歷史與技術也有所涉獵。
他主要在葡萄牙活動，但也在歐洲各地（包括「倫敦緊縛美之祭 LFAJRB」）、美國（包括達拉斯緊縛博覽 Bondage Expo Dallas）、和日本表演。這幾年來他在含葡萄牙、西班牙、法國、比利時、荷蘭、義大利的歐洲各地與英國、美國、加拿大、澳洲等地都有開課，授課內容廣泛，不論初級或進階課程都能讓學員滿載而歸。

內容
《中級——吊縛工作坊》
你會吊縛嗎？想學吊縛嗎？或許你已能執行吊縛，但仍覺得時好時壞，對許多細節不怎麼有把握？別人示範起來順暢而毫不費力，換自己上場才發現：由上第一根繩到完全離地，再到安全著陸的每一個小步驟都建立在紮實的基本功上。
本課程幫助您把吊縛所需的種種技術與觀念磨練紮實，包括種種鎖住懸吊繩的方法、多根懸吊繩的運用、重量分配的一般原則、水平吊縛 vs 垂直吊縛、身體的壓縮與伸展等等。Pedro 將盡可能傳授所知，希望讓大家更能掌握吊縛，並對繩手與受縛者都有所助益，讓初學吊縛的入門者，或想精進技藝的中階繩手都能滿載而歸。
參加本課程之學員應具備以下能力：
- 繩手：能綁出不會垮掉的單柱/雙柱縛、確實的二繩或三繩高手小手縛（流派、風格不拘）、或其它可吊縛用的上半身 harness. 有簡單吊縛經驗，並知道如何鎖住懸吊繩。
- 受縛者：在被綁的過程中能察覺自身神經、血液循環的狀況，並能溝通告知。
《部分吊縛、兩難姿態、以及「玩繩」工作坊》
為何綁？為何吊？與吊縛相關的種種技巧不只用在舞台表演，也是可玩、可享受的。繩可使人舒適、可使人痛苦，也可兩者交替。繩縛是個持續「玩」著，變化著的動態過程。這可稱作「玩」繩。若有懸吊點輔助，繩手將有更多技巧可發揮。
「部分吊縛」意指不完全離地、身體仍有部分接觸地面的吊縛姿勢。半躺半吊的軀體不僅帶有哀怨的淒美感，也是適合玩繩的姿態。如果以為沒有完全離地，應較容易或舒服，您就錯了：有些部分吊縛姿勢因姿勢不平衡，可能很難忍受；部分吊縛可能需要更高的技術水準，否則可能比離地吊縛更易使受縛者受傷。
玩繩過程中，許多繩師喜歡把受縛者擺成一個稍能移動、但怎麼動都不舒服的「兩難」姿態：這裡舒緩了，另一處卻更不舒服了，反之亦然。有人說此類「兩難」姿態是「責繩」的最主要進行法。
本課程中，Pedro 會示範他最喜歡的玩繩套路，其中許多使用到部分吊縛或兩難姿態。
參加本課程之學員應具備以下能力：

講座
《明智伝鬼其人其繩》
明智伝鬼堪稱70年代晚期到2000年代早期的日本SM圈中最具影響力的繩師。他的細膩風格與精緻美感在當時的繩師中獨一無二。他的技巧穩重而溫柔，能把肢體擺弄到極致，卻不輕忽繩模的安全與感受。而他的魅力不只來自他的繩。他謙虛和緩，對人人都友善。有人說明智伝鬼之於當時的繩縛，就像長島茂雄之於當時的棒球：他被人人喜愛著，想到繩縛，就想到他。
2000 年代早期，當日本 SM 圈中少有外國人時，Pedro 就已定期造訪日本學習繩縛。他多次上過明智伝鬼的一對一課程，收集了明智伝鬼全部的作品，並在世界各地的多個紀念活動中重現了不少明智伝鬼的經典技術。在本講座中，Pedro 將從他們的互動經驗中談談明智伝鬼「這個人」，並以他的詮釋示範已故大師的最著名繩縛。

Shibaru.Life is happy to announce that Pedro will visit Taiwan in the last weekend of January 2018 to give two workshops and a talk!
.
Pedro’s decade-plus obsession with rope started in November 2003 in Tokyo. In 2004, a new journey began when he took classes with Nawashi Akechi Denki Sensei, after whose death he continued to study with Nawashi Kanna, both of whom remain strong influences on his style today. He frequently travels to Japan to keep alive his passion for rope, studies and research. Recently he started to look more closely at Naka Akira’s style, especially after the workshop Naka presented at Berlin’s “Schwelle 7” in 2014. In addition, he has investigated a number of Hojojutsu patterns, as well as its history.
Over the years he has performed mainly in Portugal, but has also made appearances across Europe (including the famed “London Festival of the Art of Japanese Bondage”), U.S. (including the famed “Bondage Expo Dallas”) and Japan. He has been teaching for several years now in European countries including Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Italy, etc., as well as U.K., U.S.A., Canada and Australia. The topics he teaches are vast. He usually adjusts his classes to the level of the participants – from beginner to experienced.

Intermediate Level Suspension
If you have some basic experience with suspension, but are not confident with all the details and want to consolidate your skills, this workshop is for you.
This workshop will focus on suspension techniques, rather than poses, to help students to have a better understanding of how to manage suspensions from both sides of the rope. The techniques covered include, but are not limited to, different ways to lock off lines, line management exercises, general principles of balancing weight, horizontality vs verticality, and compression and expansion of the body. Pedro will create a series of exercises to propose throughout the day according to the level and pace of the class.
This class has pre-requisites for all students:
* Students tying: a non-collapsible single/double column tie, a solid 2TK/3TK (such as Kanna, Kinoko, Kazami etc., or equivalent chest harness), knowledge of locking off lines, line management experience.
* Students being Tied: body awareness regarding nerves/circulation/placements/communication.
Partials, Predicaments and Playful Ties
Suspension is not merely for performance — one can integrate tying and suspension into your scene. With rope one can create a wide range of sensations in a continuous dialog of “playing”. With a suspension point, there are even more tricks one can play.
Partial suspension refers to positions in which the people being tied still touch the ground. They are not only beautiful, but also suitable for playing. You are mistaken if you think partial suspension is inherently easier or safer — in fact, a partial pose could be far more uncomfortable and prone to injury than a full suspension, if the people doing ropes are not well-taught.
In a “predicament”, the rope bottoms are tied in ways that appear to allow choices between a pair of uncomfortable positions, between which they have to constantly shift. It can be an essential component of seme-nawa.
In this workshop, Pedro will show some of his favourite playful ties, many of them including partials and predicaments.

Lecture
Akechi Denki: the Person and His Rope
Akechi Denki is certainly among the most, if not the single most, influential nawashi in the Japanese SM scene from the late 70’s till the early 00’s (died 2005). He has his unique aesthetics — his style is artistic and delicate. His technique is gentle — he can put models in extreme positions, while never leave behind is concerns for safety and feelings of the model. Yet his charisma comes from not only his rope, but his personality. He is humble, gentle, and friendly to everyone. It was once described that Akechi Denki is to shibari as Shigeo Nagashima is to baseball — he has become the symbol of shibari, and loved by everyone.
In early 00’s, when there were few westerners in the Japanese SM scene, Pedro had been visiting Japan regularly to learn shibari. In series of rope lessons, Pedro gained first-hand experience of interacting with Akechi Denki. To honor his teaching, Pedro presented many of his iconic technique in various memorial events. In this talk, Pedro will tell us about his interaction with Akechi Denki as a person, and also demonstrate his interpretation of some of the most well known ties of the late nawashi.
