Dolph & SickDucks – Announcing presenters

Somewhere in early 2015 Dolph started to tie. He had always been drawn to rope as a versatile tool. And exactly this versatility was what ultimately fascinated him about rope bondage as well. Rope became a tool of self expression, fulfilling different needs during different periods in his life. It gave him new means of connection to other people. When you tie with somebody, you tend to get to know them in a different way. The technical aspects of how rope bondage, and how it affects the body are a constant fascination. As he is firm believer that everything worth doing is worth doing right, he continues to seek improvement of his tying. Dolph’s style is best described as a mix between violent and romantic.

SickDucks came in contact with rope through her work as a model for photography. Although she always had a fascination for kink, her first experiences with rope bondage were mostly focused on creating strong aesthetic images. Currently, her main interests in rope is rope as a means of connection. She likes to be in challenging ties to help her discover what her body is capable of. She has also become invaluable in streamlining their teaching. Her style of bottoming can be described as assertive and with sensual undertones. She is a strong non-verbal communicator and adds her own colour and drama to a rope session.

Workshops

Hogties

(Workshop level: L1-3)

The hogtie is a true classic. Rather than seeing it as a single tie we will envision it as a concept. In this workshop we will discuss different versions of this tie, from minimalistic to more complex. Whilst going over these different versions we’ll explore the reasons behind the design considerations. A hogtie can lend itself to being a small acene in itself.

Co-topping

(Workshop level: L1-3)

Co-tying (or co-topping) is the praxis where two work together to tie one individual. Both Dolph and Fem have considerable experience in this topic, be it fron different sides of the rope. In this workshop we will discuss a couple of theoretical points and considerations as well as practical excersises.

Hammer and Anvil, A way to get the most out of your uplines

(Workshop level: L3)

This playful workshop will be a showcase for a number of techniques very dear to Dolph’s style of tying. Efficiency, how to manipulate the body and some added violence all through use of your uplines will be the theme of this workshop. (hard points needed)

Non verbal communication

(Workshop level: L1-3)

Non verbal communication is a huge part of our dynamic. It’s something that still amazes us how we pick up the nuances in what we convey in our rope sessions. Some theory and practical exercises on how we establish and deepen our non verbal language. (no suspension point needed).
