“…where we play many binding games…”

I had dinner with someone on Tuesday night who’s starting up weekly life-drawing classes here in Toronto and who wants to introduce a rope-bondage element to the poses. I was referred to her by a mutual friend who knows both that I enjoy working with rope and about my background in the visual arts. We had dinner at a place on College street, talked about rope in general (she was actually part of the exhibition at Koma that Morpheous did as part of Nuit Blanche), and by the end of the dinner were talking quite specifically about plans for the classes. By that time I was sold on the idea. There’s a site for the classes here, and as I get more solid information from her I’ll post about it.
It’s an interesting thing to consider. Not tying for practical reasons but purely aesthetic ones. As well as being much fun I have a feeling it’ll be good for me to have a lab-like situation once a week where I can concentrate on form, not function. But then to also have some freedom to explore different things to do with tying one person, two people, three people – maybe with props? All things, of course, that would be most interesting to draw.
More details to come, as I said, as I get them.
