トーク:Gorgone

I am a french Kinbaku model and rigger. I discovered Ropes 4 years ago. Immediately seduced, I started looking for real power exchange experiences in ropes and became interested in traditional Japanese rope bondage. I am now lucky enough to be a Rope educator and performer as a main passion and full-time job. I have been co-organizing BOUND with Nina Russ and Esinem in 2013 and I am currently excited to be part of the first Rope Bondage major international touring stage production "Cirque Shibari" as co-creator and Bondage Director. I started my path with Ropes as a model/bottom. I cannot say that I like it more than rigging, though if I had to learn to be a rigger it has always felt natural to bottom. My experience as a professional rope bottom brings to my rigging some very useful knowledge and understanding from the other side of the rope. My path and identity as a rigger is the result of constant exposure to many different styles that I absorb, appropriate and develop on my own. I've had the privilege to learn from exposure to some of the world's greatest teachers but I am mostly self-taught and I do not identify to any specific Ryu (school/style). Though, my strongest influences remain Naka Akira and Nawashi Kanna that I chose to work with very closely. Naka Akira was the first and only one from whom I've received any formal tuition, I have been his regular model and partner for performances and workshops around the world and was recently given permission to teach his style. I am active in the International rope scene as a freelance performer, teacher and simple rope enthusiast. So far I have been teaching and/or performing as a model and/or a rigger in Paris, Berlin, London, Rome, Athens, Madrid, Lausanne, Prague, Bucharest, San Francisco, New-York, Louisville, Chicago, Atlanta, Virginia, Orlando, Houston, Seattle, Tokyo and Osaka. In May 2014 I had the great honor to be the very first non-Japanese woman to be ever photographed by renowned and talented SM photographer Sugiura Norio.
