Friday night, 7-10PM, the 12,000 square foot Savoy ballroom will be decked out for you all to mingle with old friends and new. We’ll be serving up not only rope folk camaraderie, but some fine food options as well! Envision a pasta station where an attendant will make you the perfect combo plate of al dente, saucy goodness, a prime rib and turkey carving station, cheese plates, crudites platters, and hors d’oeuvres galore! Yes, there will be vegetarian and GF options available!!

Whilst munching on goodies and chatting up your friends, we’ve got some first-class acts ready to entertain you from the stage. The M&G performer lineup for Chicago ROPECRAFT is comprised of:

• –Ronin– & ADelightfulPain
• -magnolia- & GentLeebrutal
• Parker Ropeboi
• Mark & Lani DeViate

• Plus, one performance yet to be announced!!

–Ronin– and ADelightfulPain will be starting things out with a bang, showing off a tying style characterized by speed and precision that still maintains connection between partners. These Chicago hometown favorites are sure to draw you in for the beginning of an amazing long weekend.

-magnolia- and GentLeebrutal have performed at an array of events, including The BARE booth at Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco and ROPECRAFT NOLA. This time around they’ll be bringing a traditional Japanese-inspired piece, complete with live violin accompaniment!

Parker Ropeboi is known for self-suspension, and with good reason. They’re technical skill and aesthetic mixed together always make for an intellectually and visually enrapt experience.

As many of you know, Mark & Lani DeViate will be traveling all the way from Australia to bring their presenting skills into the ROPECRAFT fold. We will also be featuring their talents as the last performance of the evening, and believe me, you’re all in for one helluva treat! Mark’s performance style combines his intense sensuality, undeniable dominance and innate skill. Together with his partner Lani De Viate they push the limits of aerial suspension bondage, with each performance being a creation of dynamic Japanese rope bondage and SM imagery.

But wait, there’s more! We are still in the process of confirming a final act for the evening that’s sure to knock your socks off.
