Can I Be Mean For A Second?

Simple Predicaments and Sadistic Floor Ties with Sydona Rogue

Sunday February 2, 2:00pm-5:00pm

SOLD OUT email us to join the waiting list.

Kingston, NY

This class explores three simple but sadistic floor-based predicaments of varying intensity, as well as several tips and tricks for how to cause (consensual) distress with our favorite medium, rope.  Whether you’ve just tied your first single column or are a seasoned rigger, these “quick and dirty” predicaments are just that–quick, simple, and sure to have your bottom sweating in seconds.  

Prerequisites: Any single column tie and basic frictions (reverse tension, half hitch, munter hitch)

*If you don’t feel you are comfortably confident on the prerequisite knowledge, there are still tickets available for Rope 101 — sign up above!

Format: 2.5 hours

Supplies needed: Four bundles of rope, a blindfold, and a cutting tool

About Sydona Rogue

In March of 2018 Sydona found her way into the NYC kink scene and never looked back. Since then, she's immersed herself into honing her rope practice, perhaps obsessively. She currently works full time as a nightlife performer, bondage artist, photographer, and creator. In these past several years she's traveled both within the U.S. and internationally for rope opportunities, as a performer, as a student, and more recently as an educator. Previous to 2020, Syd trained and worked as a professional modern and contemporary dancer, and is proud of the way she melds her thirteen odd years of experience as a movement artist into her current practice.

In the past six years she's performed at events (in no particular order) by House of Yes, House of X, House of Gemini and Scorpio, HAVEN, The Red Pavilion, The Box, Hit Me Up, Nuit Des Cordes, Folsom Street Fair, Dances of Vice and The Secret. In 2019 she co-built two 300 square foot installations at Industria and at Knockdown Center for events produced by Wizard Studios and in January of 2020, December of 2022, and December of 2024 she assisted Hajime Kinoko's large scale Shibari Web performances in NYC and San Francisco. She's currently a resident rope educator and facilitator at NYC spaces Temple, HAVEN, and Hit Me Up, and regularly facilitates, teaches, and performs at many events and venues in NYC and beyond.

Working Out The Kinks: The Basics

Tuesday, February 11th 6:00pm-9:00pm

Private Location in Saugerties, NY

Suggested Donation: $15 | Register Here

This is a discussion-based group for like-minded kinky folks to come together for a safe space to talk about our niche little world. Each meeting will have a different area of focus for discussion. To get us started though, we’re going to keep it simple - The Basics. Why Kink? What is it that draws us to these desires? How do we meet others with the same interests and how can we do it as safely as possible? What is a risk profile and how do I determine what mine is? These are some of the areas we hope to cover in our first dialogue and we hope you join us! Whether you’re a new kinkster looking for support, or a seasoned player looking to share your insight, all are welcome. The event is a suggested donation of $15 - venmo preferred (linked on the registration page) but we will also happily accept cash day-of. The first meeting will take place at a private location in Saugerties, NY on Tuesday February 11tth at 6:00pm.
