For its 10th edition EURIX will expand to 7 different spaces. In addition to the normal exchange and research program offered by these presenters, there will be three more proposals:

There will be a special 5 day ABSOLUTE BEGINNER COURSE in an extra space. Each day another international expert will teach a 6 hour introduction to Rope Bondage, daily from 10 00 – 13 00 and 15 00 – 18 00 (In the evening there is the possibility to join the open jam/free practice). The course is an unique opportunity to study the basics with an intense combination of high level teachers. It will give a fantastic overview over different styles and techniques and will allow a very informed start into the practice. Teachers of the BEGINNER COURSE are:

MON: Felix Ruckert / TUES: Caritia / WED: Matthias T.J. Grimme / THURS: Shadow / FRI: Nicolas Yoroi

Their program is geared towards total Bondage beginners. No previous knowledge required. It is also suitable for riggers who start teaching and are interested in different methods and teaching styles. There is place for 15 couples in the BEGINNER COURSE. Please apply with a rope partner and bring a minimum of 7 lenghts of 8 meter rope (hemp or jute, 6mm - 8mm).

Then we will prepare a PERMANENT PLAY SPACE for open practice during the day.

And we will add a special PERFORMANCE& PHOTOGRAPHY SPACE with a stage, sound and light, where performing and photography can be practised all day.

EURIX – The concept

This is a different kind of rope event.

I organized many workshops with international, mostly japanese top riggers in Berlin during the last ten years and often I was very impressed by the technical level and artistic quality of the participants who came from all over Europe. I feel that there is a lot of creative and innovative rope bondage in Europe today. Many individuals are developing their own approaches. A sort of emancipation from the japanese masters is happening, not a rebellion or opposition, just people recognizing the importance of gaining autonomity in their artistic process.

So the idea came up to bring experienced European Riggers and Models together, for a week of exchange and research, twice a year. There are invited „presenters“ who share their work on a voluntary base: advanced riggers and models who have developed a personal style beyond japanese tradition, who are interested to learn and exchange with others and who wish to experiment with less hierarchical and dogmatic teaching structures.

They are joined by a larger group of „students“, intermediate and advanced riggers interested to learn from the professionals present and paying a modest fee in order to finance the event. Also “students” may propose workshops or perform during the week.

The schedule will be open. Every day a new plan will be established, with different workshops, research groups, talks etc. Up to three workshops run simultaneously, thus a wide range of topics and issues is covered. The content of the event will be designed according to the interests and needs of the participants rather then following a preconceived didactic concept or method. It will be different every time.
