They have presented at conventions such as TetheredTogether, Ropecraft, and Westcoast Bound and have taught locally in the Seattle and Chicago scenes. In the classroom they prioritize personalized instruction and building an environment that is safe to flail in. In their personal practice they enjoy exploring intimacies and modes of play through the lens of rope bondage, with a focus on character and movement driven scenes and sadomasochistic play.
