    Jenni Noon

    Volunteer & Teacher

    Jenni Noon began exploring shibari as a model in 2020. Connection is at the heart of her practice — her experience in rope shaped above all by relationships with people she cares about deeply.

    As a yoga teacher and dancer, she's fascinated by movement research, with current obsessions in Butoh and clown. She loves experimenting at the intersection of these practices, especially in collaboration with other artists.

    Passionate about education and empowering models, she finds joy in creating spaces where people feel safe to explore, get creative and let go.

    Pen

    Volunteer & Teacher

    Pen (he/him) is a bottom-leaning rope switch from the UK who loves exploring the emotions and vulnerability of shibari. 

    Initially, he approached Shibari as ‘just another form of bondage’, but soon realised it is something much more profound than this. Pen ties with many people with different styles, but he always falls back towards his love for power exchange and surrender. - “The worst way to torture Pen is to tie him in a way that is easy to escape..”

    He has taught and performed at events across the UK, Europe, the US, and Southeast Asia. Passionate about rope bottoming education and safety, he uses his extensive training in human anatomy and physiology to empower both bottoms and riggers to explore rope play more safely and freely.

    Rose

    Volunteer & Teacher

    north_rose (she/her) is a writer and editor by trade. who found shibari in 2018 and her happy place on the volunteer team in 2022. She loves being a friendly face for new arrivals at the studio - particularly fellow quiet or anxious folks in need of a little extra moral support. Her instinctive preference is to bottom in rope, but she’s also expanded into tying: first herself, and more recently others.

    Chronic illness has intensified her curiosity about why things feel the way they do, sparking a strong interest in rope’s effect on our bodies and brains, and how we (bottoms as well as tops!) can mediate that effect.

    As a teacher, she’s committed to helping those being tied access the best information, and is adamant that bottoming involves its own set of concrete, teachable skills.

    Luca

    Volunteer & Teacher

    Luca (he/him) fell in love with Shibari and Anatomie in 2022, and this love never ended. 

    He is a top-leaning switch who feels a sense of awe exploring the complexity and variety that ropes might offer, looking at them as a form of art and a unique language to express mutual joy, a never-ending search and discovery. 

    Just touching ropes makes him incredibly happy.

    He has recently started to teach beginners on Thursday classes, enjoying it a lot, and he tries to keep the “beginner” mentality, where every wrap gives you a new sense of wonder.

    When he is not touching ropes, he read history books, swims and visit tiny, cute villages.
