We are delighted to announce that Avalon, an Italian-Australian rigger known for his sensual and attentive bondage, will be revealing some of his secrets at the class we always hold when BOUND opens and also performing later in the evening. He will also be available for private tuition. If you’d like to know more and book, you’ll find his contact details at the end of this post.
In his pursuit to improve his skills and knowledge in Japanese Rope Bondage, he regularly travels to Japan to study, being a student of Osada Steve and of the late Grand Master Yukimura Haruki. He has also received tutelage from other renowned Japanese nawashi, such as Hajime Kinoko, Nawashi Kanna, Kitagawa, Satomi Zpira, Kazami Ranki, Bingo and the gorgeous Hourai Kasumi.
Seduced by the sensual skill and artistic expression of newaza shibari (Yukimura ‘caressing’ style of floor-work), Avalon has developed his own distinctive style, his floor-work is fluid and sensory, relying on triggers and sensitivities of his model to lull them into a forbidden world. His style keeps faith to traditional Japanese bondage where mind, edge and predicament play are key factors of the tying process.
Avalon is active within the Australian and Italian Japanese Rope Bondage Community, he is a one of the instructors at the Sydney Rope Dojo & has performed in numerous international rope events and regularly conducts Japanese rope workshops in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Darwin, and overseas in New Zealand, Italy, Switzerland and the UK.
Avalon’s rope has two extreme styles, on one end it is geared towards deep connection with one’s partner and exploring all sensory aspects of sensual tying, Haruki Yukimura style if you like, at the other end of the scale, it is a harder styled rope, that he defines, non impact ” semenawa”, this is achieved with constriction, predicament, with a good dose of physical and psychological stress, it can be very trying and this style of rope can be very hard or not so extreme, the levels are actually measured to the person being tied, Kitagawa sensei style. It includes a little mind fucking, which is something that Avalon is particularly good at, with his partners …!
Avalon performs with Jenna , his partner and rope model, she has a back ground in dance, yoga and personal development, this gives her the perfect core strength and mind set to endure and enjoy Avalon’s demanding ties.
Jenna loves exploring edges and the intimate connection between two people through rope, where the world disappears and what is left is 2 beating hearts. Rope has been a vehicle for Jenna to let go and feel completely free to surrender into the moment with Avalon.
