[貓樓上．國際邀約計畫] Yada Kinbaku 團體工作坊-責繩-

責繩團體工作坊

本活動由來自泰國的繩縛藝術家Yada主持的團體工作坊，將引導學員探索責繩。Yada的責繩核心是「沉寂」，遺棄的感受、放下的美、簡潔的繩縛技法，還有和混沌交織的平和。本工作坊會由地面繩縛開始，讓我們的溫柔與暴烈引導我們，逐漸過渡到吊縛中。本工作坊鼓勵繩手與受縛者互換角色，增進相互理解。
涵蓋地面繩縛與吊縛。
繩手/受縛者可互換
價格：一組2600NT

講師介紹
Yada Keawburee / Yada.kinbaku 是一位來自泰國，曼谷的緊縛、性教育、及禁羈教育工作者，師從吉田よい（歌舞伎町SM酒吧「初心-UBU-」、「密蜜-mitsu-」經營者）。

Yada自2015年開始學繩，並自2018年下旬開始以Yada．Kinbaku名義經營自己的繩縛工坊，傳授繩縛技術。Yada傳授的技法主要由日籍繩師（吉田よい）授予，並配合學員的個體需求修正。

Yada相信繩縛並不僅止於把一個人捆綁起來，而是種透過繩子跟那個人交流的方法，這種交流的方式不需要言語，並且能讓人們放開自己、深深陷入自己的脆弱面中。Yada相信我們都需要跟自我保持深刻的聯結，經過每一個創傷，我們需要走進我們的心靈最深處來進行療癒，讓我們更健全。

更多Yada對責繩的看法：

責繩是什麼？

責繩的字面意義可以譯為「痛楚或懲罰的繩縛」。是一種以激烈的生心理感受，來強調折磨、 困苦的繩縛。

責繩的哀傷和痛苦是從哪來的呢？身為一個哲學的學生，問問題對我來說是必要的。身為一個人、一個繩手，我感到罪惡。不是為了辜負他人而感到罪惡，而是為我釋放自己的需求，讓它控制我而感到罪惡。在一場實踐中，我感覺到自己可以掌控得更好，因為我是訂下規則的人，但同時我也不能讓它超出我的掌控。你也許不覺得自己是自由的，但只要拿捏好自己的原則，你其實是自由的。我所認識的日本文化（東亞）和泰國文化（東南亞）是不同的，但他們具有某些共通點。這堂課不適合所有人，但如果你有興趣，請繼續往下讀。

如果我規訓了某個把權利轉讓給我的人，那我就必須遵守以下個人原則：

能夠把自己的內心對他人打開，不會是100%，但至少必須願意打開
能夠溝通並且替我們的實踐設立一些目的，並且同等的承擔風險和責任
每件事都必須是專注用心的，因為你不想傷害另一個人
因為其他人有受苦的需求，所以我折磨他人，而不是因為我善於樂於做這件事。因為他人存在，我才可以做這件事，當我們做繩縛的時候，我們的需求短暫的疊合在一起。做責繩讓我能夠赤裸而真實地面對自己。

但為什麼這件事這麼有意義呢？我們為什麼做我們所做的事？因為我們要看見真實的自己，那個沒有人喜歡的自己，那個一旦被真正認識到就會被丟下的自己。我們必須運用自己的身體、運用自己的恐懼看見它，唯有如此，我們才能感覺到替我們帶來平靜的內心事物。

我的責繩課「沉寂」的主要內容會是引導學員平衡自己的內在混亂以及找到平靜。我會引導學員在做責繩的過程中，不要做得超出自己的能力，做細微的事並且清楚知道自己為何而做，讓學員感受、體驗做責繩的過程，而不是做出一個結果。我會引導學員有更多發現，更多感受。在我的責繩課程裡，我會帶領學員進入一套完全投入在身體感覺中的實踐，對每個人都會有所助益。課程會由基本的地面繩縛開始，並且逐漸過渡到吊縛。我會演示、解釋所有的細節，包括我為什麼選擇特定的技法，為什麼這樣做是我要的。我會展示幾個簡單的套路，讓學員自行擴展繩路。責繩課的主題會是如何運用語言或非語言的溝通方式，運用繩子、身體、疼痛或恐懼讓學員和繩伴溝通、交匯。這會是責繩有趣且吸引人的地方。學員不需要完全模仿我或別的老師，因為這堂課的主角是學員本人，你想要讓別人從自己身上發現、感覺到什麼才是重點。

Semenawa Group Workshop

The workshop will be led by Yada, a renowned Shibari artist in Thailand, focusing on her approach to Semenawa. Yada Semenawa embodies the essence of “stillness” – the sensation of abandonment, the beauty of letting go, minimalism, and finding balance and peace amidst chaos. We will transition from floor work to suspension, combining elements of both brutality and gentleness. We encourage riggers and models to swtich roles to understand the perspective from each other better.

The workshop covers both floorwork and suspension.
Incl. Floor & Suspension
Rigger, model can switch
Price: 2600NT / pair

Instructor Info
Yada Keawburee aka.Yada.kinbaku Student of Yoi Yoshida. Shibari Artist & Sexual/Kink Education based in Bangkok, Thailand.

Yada began exploring Japanese rope bondage in 2015 and opened her own workshop under the name “Yada Kinbaku” to teach techniques in late 2018.

Yada’s teaching is based on her teacher in Japan, Yoi Yoshida, and is slightly customized to suit each person.

Yada believes that rope bondage is not just about tying someone up, but it’s also a way to communicate with a person through rope without saying any words, allowing oneself to sink deep into vulnerability.

Yada believes that it’s important for everyone to stay in touch with themselves and to confront any trauma they may have. By delving into the deepest parts of oneself, healing and feeling better become possible.

More from Yada…

What is semenawa?

SEMENAWA means literally translates as “Torture or Punishment Rope.” This type of rope bondage involves intense physical and psychological sensations that emphasize torment or suffering.

Where does this sadness and suffering come from?

For myself, as a philosophy student. Asking questions is a MUST. Me as a person and as a rigger, I feel guilty. Oh no, not for someone else. I actually feel guilty if I let my urge to release take power over me. I feel like I can be in better control because I am the rule-maker in the session, but I need it not to be too much. You might not feel free but, actually, are free, as long as you are in your own discipline.

What I have learned about Japanese (Eastern) culture and Thai (Southeast Asian) culture is that they are different, but they have something in common. I don’t think this class is for everyone. But, if this for you, please continue.

If I discipline someone who exchanges power with me, I need to be able to follow my own discipline, which is…

Be able to open my heart to that person – not 100% – but you have to be willing
Be able to talk and set intentions about our session and share the responsibility of risk together
Everything has to have mindfulness upfront because you don’t want to hurt the other person
I torture people because they need to get hurt. I didn’t torture people because I’m good at it and I enjoy it, but actually, I can be able to do all of this because another person exists, and our needs have to be met temporarily. Doing Semenawa makes me face myself, bare and sad.

The question is, why does this make us happy? Why do we do what we do?

Because we have to see our true selves, the ones no one would want, the ones where if someone really gets to know us, they will go away. We need to see that with our own body, with our fear and we feel something that gives us peace of mind.

The main class of my Semenawa “ stillness “is to balance your chaos and peace. To not over-do and to do a little to feel it clearly, to feel and experience it, not to end it, to find more to feel more.

In my Semenawa class, I will bring you fully into somatic practice that would be useful for everyone.

My Semenawa class starts from basic to floor play and suspension. I will show and explain all details, why I use different techniques and why it works for me. I will show a few simple ties to mix with your own best harness. The main thing in Semenawa will be focus on finding the way to communicate with your partner with verbal or non verbal communication. With rope, body, pain and fear. And this is the fun part that makes Semenawa become something so popular. You don’t need to be exactly like me or anyone else because my class is about you as a person who you want people to see and feel from you.
