Midnight Shibari
Boundless Detroit S&M Symposium
February 20, 21, & 22
“A weekend of BDSM focused education, parties and art”
Rope Influenced Presenters
Midnight Shibari (he/him) is a medical professional who has been an active member of the Michigan scene for nearly a decade. He has served as a local educator and performer of Shibari in the Detroit area and has previously presented at Boundless in 2024 & SMIRC (Summer Michigan Rope Conference).
Drawing from his medical background, he prioritizes safety and informed consent in all his classes, especially when it comes to his favorites involving sadistic rope and torture ties. While many aspects of BDSM and rope bondage may not be deemed "safe," he aims to demonstrate safer approaches, ensuring that everyone leaves with practical skills and valuable knowledge to prevent injury while still encouraging those screams, cries, moans, and laughs!
Breaking Down the Daruma
The Daruma tie is an iconic Shibari position that takes inspiration from the Daruma dolls in Japanese culture. It can be a challenging technical tie for rope tops and a physically demanding position for rope bottoms. In this class, we’ll break down the structure, mechanics, and safety considerations needed to confidently apply this tie along with variations that still capture the essence of the “Daruma”.
