Connection to your partner and a clear intent are vital in rope bondage play. They are central to Michele Serchuk's bondage photography and to DeLano's rope relationships.
Michele and DeLano have formed an artistic collaboration which explores these elements. Using images from their body of work, they will discuss how connection can deepen your rope play and how intent can affect and sharpen your bondage experiences.
Using slides of their work as a vehicle, Michele and DeLano will discuss connection and intent, ways it works well for them, and what happens when it fails.
We'll wrap up with an open discussion designed to help you define and focus connection and intent to enhance your own play.
Michele Serchuk has been shooting her evocative, intensely personal erotic portraiture in New York City for the past 10 years. She's been a Photography Associate for On Our Backs magazine, and is also regularly published in Cupido (Denmark, Norway.) Book credits include: On Our Backs Guide to Lesbian Sex, Photo Sex, The Mammoth Book of Illustrated Erotica and the Mammoth Book of Illustrated Erotic Women. Her work has also appeared in numerous US and European fetish and erotica magazines, and as cover art for dozens of books. She's exhibited in several major US cities, is an accomplished speaker, has appeared on cable TV and webcast interviews, and has presented for various groups in the US and Canada.
DeLano uses his experience in the bondage scene to help others enjoy their time in rope more safely and more fully. He instructs at Midori's Rope Dojos, presents on bondage bottoming at Shibaricon and other venues, and co-moderates the Japanese Rope Art and the Shibari Enthusiasts Yahoo groups. A true rope slut, DeLano is ravenous for bondage and committed to his meditative and spiritual journeys through the connections he shares in his rope relationships.
