Murakawa got in touch recently to ask us to perform at the event he is organising. I must confess I have been dithering a bit over the invitation. On one hand, I still don’t feel any great urge to jump up on stage and, on the other, it is a very great honour to be asked to perform along aside him and Kagu Ra. When Ayumi was here the other night, we discussed Nina and I doing a tag team effort. However, the immediate weight I felt on my shoulders over the next 48 hours convinced me that I still hadn’t regained my enthusiasm for performing. Consequently, I decided against it. The sense of relief was immediate. I think I’d rather watch the others. I’ve missed too many great performances waiting anxiously back stage waiting to go on. So, here’s the line-up:
Nawashi Kanna and Gestalta will be performing on 13 December at The Blitz Factory, 22 A Ravenswood Industrial Estate. Shernall Street, London E17 9LY.

MASTERCLASSES
For his very first visit to London, Murakawa Production presents five days of unprecedented workshops with the great Japanese master Nawashi Kanna.
Whether you are a shibari beginner, have intermediate or advanced level, you will have the unique opportunity to attend and participate in these workshops to teach you the art of his rope and to perfect your shibari skills through the various specialist techniques taught by the master Nawashi Kanna.
Students will have the opportunity to attend the full five days for a progressive and intense education in which Kanna will reveal some of the secrets surrounding his elaborate technique and style.
Students of all levels are welcome and those of a lower level should not feel intimitated to attend all, or any of the courses, as everyone will receive plenty of individual attention from Nawashi Kanna.
Advanced students will also have the opportunity to revise their understanding via the two intermediate level days so as to refine and redefine their skills. Nawashi Kanna recommands the more adventurous to participate in the whole five days.
Throughout the 5 days every level of his technique and very specific shibari style will be taught, including such topics as position of the model, artistic comprehension, safety and security and the important issue of endurance.
