Join us for an evening of rope, artistry, and conversation as we explore two performances featuring Hua Hua, each offering a different perspective on connection, creativity, and expression through rope.
For this Cinema Circle, we’ll be screening two films:
Improvised Suspension Series - Hua Hua & Dantianshi (Shibari Study) : An exploration of improvisation through suspension, this performance invites us to observe the evolving dialogue between rigger and model. Through movement, tension, and responsiveness, we see how a tie can develop organically, shaped by the choices, reactions, and communication of both people involved.
Kuku’s Playdate - Hua Hua & Kuku
Our second film brings Hua Hua together with Kuku for a different kind of rope encounter. With an emphasis on play and exploration, this performance offers another opportunity to consider how personality, connection, and intention influence the experience of rope.

About Hua Hua
hua hua (she/her) is a Shibari artist and founder of Borderline. She began the first public Shibari events in Shanghai in 2017, facilitating bilingual events to help promote a healthier approach to Kink in China. After running a studio in Shanghai during the pandemic, hua hua left China in 2022 to bring Borderline to a global audience. She has taught numerous workshops and performed in the Americas, Europe and Asia and continues to runs a community online through her Patreon page.
She believes that rope bondage is a practice of mindfulness and authentic expression. To her, ropes are like a bridge between people and cultures, to overcome societal borders in our search for intimate connection. Beyond her teaching practice, she is passionate about sharing Shibari to a wider public, collaborating with other practices such as fashion, dance and experimental theatre. She mostly works through the medium of film. Her film work presents Shibari art through numerous genre styles from pornography to horror.
Her teaching style is more holistic than systematic, focusing on intention with a slow mindful pacing in her classes. She does not teach in one particular style, but rather on adapting the tie to meet the needs of everyone involved.
