Bound: Shibari Night

BOUND is a regular event on the last Friday of the month at south London's premier alternative venue, The Flying Dutchman, to inspire enthusiasts of Japanese rope bondage (shibari) and increase the awareness of the general public of this increasingly popular performance art and means of erotic communication. The mission of this night is to show that shibari is a million miles from the image that the word ‘bondage’ usually conjures up for the average man in the street or even the 50 Shades of Grey reader. Expect to see amazing 'dances with rope' by international artistes that have more in common with the passion of Tango than the top shelf at the newsagents.
