BAREFOOT JULIETTE

WITH LIL NAWA PUPPY

Barefoot Juliette is an international Shibari artist and instructor based in Naarm, Australia, who has trained extensively with various Japanese and Australian Shibari teachers since 2020. She is fascinated by the many unique ways Shibari connects people through the medium of rope, in a manner that explores, transcends and challenges our pre-existing notions of what it means to relate with another human being.

Juliette’s love for consensual sadomasochism and energetic communication through rope – always tinged with a touch of the Wild Feminine - shines through in her performances and teachings.

Juliette is dedicated to the continuous deepening of her craft and enjoys helping others do the same..

VON RIGA

WITH PAPRIKA

To bind the body is to free the mind, and to gag the mouth allows the body to speak...

Drawing upon elements of kink and tantric practice with the rigour of Shibari dojo training as a base, the themes of Von Riga’s Kinbaku are passion, provocation, poetry. Being present to each moment, intuitive in one’s choice of what to tie, and deeply connected to one’s tying partner is key. Thereafter, simply to tie, tie, tie, allow these themes to find fullest expression.

From underground clubs to festival stages, Von Riga can be found curating, teaching and performing rope across the country. Founded in 2022, his school Soul Rope Studios hosts classes at all levels weekly in Naarm (Melbourne, Australia).

SIR Z

Step into my world, where ropes aren’t just tools—they’re instruments of control, seduction, and exquisite surrender. I’m Sir Z, a shibari master with a passion for precision, power, and pushing boundaries. I’m carving out my own space in the kink scene, blending traditional Japanese techniques with contemporary queer aesthetics, to explore the deep emotional connection that Kink can foster.

Whether I’m binding bodies for pleasure, art, or discipline, my rope is an extension of my will—tight where I want it, teasing where it needs to be, and always with your limits in mind… before I test them.

Trust, consent, and a touch of mischief are the foundation of my craft. Because rope isn’t just about restriction—it’s about release.

So, are you ready to surrender to the experience? Good. Let’s get twisted.
