Lokka & Rozyl – Announcing presenters

@Lokka (she/her) is based in Hilversum and has a passion for rope since early 2021. In that same year, she started her own jam and two years later started teaching. Her teaching focuses a lot on selftying, where in the last two years she has also expanded towards more coupled movement and dynamic floorwork classes.

As a rigger, selftyer, and model, she brings multiple perspectives into her teaching. Her style is mostly improvised, supported by a strong technical foundation.

When tying with a partner, her focus is on the connection, not the rope. Rope becomes a shared language, a medium through which something intimate and magical can unfold. She ties with someone because she wants to be close with them, the rope is only a means of achieving that. Whether standing as a model or being closer to the floor as a rigger, she enjoys the dynamics that floorwork brings her.

@Rozyl (he/him) started his rope journey early 2022 as a bottom. After learning to appreciate the flow and dynamic of one rope play, he started rigging himself. His style focuses on floorwork with a lot of movement, playing with balance and intimacy. He sees rope as an extension of his body and as a medium to let somebody feel like they are being held.

As partners both in life and in rope, Lokka and Rozyl teach in a dynamic, collaborative way, frequently switching roles to offer multiple perspectives on different techniques they cover. They also share their real-time experiences from the viewpoint of the model, creating a learning environment where both sides of the rope receive attention and value.
