For My Viewing Pleasure – Asimira & Olivia

When Asimira encountered rope bondage through her art school graduation project in 2015 she fell head over heels in love and dove headfirst into the international rope scene. Ropes provided a space for her to incorporate corporeality in a playful way. Her fascination for ropes and what they can do to her own body and the bodies of others in her hands led her to start a new education in physiotherapy. As a teacher her focus is on anatomy, and on ways to be playful and intimate as soon and as often as possible when tying.

Olivia started her rope journey back in 2017. While knowing some rigging basics, her main experience lies in her role as a model. Her passion for aerial sports as well as her years as a model in various workshops have allowed her to acquire and strengthen her skills.

„My main interest in ropes is the versatile engagement of body and mind, the blend of artistic and erotic elements and overall the intimate connection cultivated through deep trust and exchange of energies.“

Asimira and Olivia connected in Spring 2023, after having known about each other for years but both having been too shy to approach. Their chemistry and affection for each other is palpable whenever they teach or perform together.

Workshop

Seeing and being seen is an important part of rope bondage. In this workshop we will look at how we present ourselves to each other, and how creating something beautiful out of someone, for your pleasure, can be a very emotionally powerful thing.

For both Asimira and Olivia aesthetics have been an important part of their rope practice from the very beginning. Asimira worked as a professional nude model when she started tying, and Olivia is a performer and former sex worker. Creating something beautiful and feeling like a beautiful object is something they both enjoy playing with. However, in this workshop we will not only look at what we find aesthetically pleasing, we will also think about the way we want to be perceived by each other in ropes. Let’s explore the power of being seen.

Prerequisites

This workshop is often described as a vulnerable experience. It is recommended to attend this workshop with someone that you are comfortable feeling vulnerable in front of. We will talk about the things we find beautiful about our/each other’s physical appearance, which can be a difficult or triggering experience.
On a technical level this workshop is best suited for people that are comfortable tying partial suspensions. Riggers should be able to tie a chest harness that can safely be loaded, and be able to lock off an upline. You need to be confident enough in tying those things that you have headspace left to focus on different things than your rope technique. Bottoms should know their bodies in partial suspensions, know basic nerve safety and should be confident in communicating these things.
