Cinema Circle

a movie night and discussion

Peony Studio’s Kurogami & Shiawase

Private session, Italy

Monday, June 9th, 7-10pm

Rope photographs can be incredibly moving, enlightening and inspiring but having the chance to view, hear and feel the energy through cinematic film takes one to a deeper level of understanding and appreciation.

Cinema Circle is a regular movie night where attendees will have an opportunity to view a film as if glimpsing into a rope scene in a private studio or rope performance in front of an audience. After watching the film, we will have a group discussion to understand and elaborate on each person’s perspectives.

The video:

The studio has been gifted with a special video from Kurogami and Shiawase who are owners of Peony Studio in Turin, Italy!

This film is unavailable to the public and the session was recorded for us to screen.

We will be discussing various aspects of this tie, as well as their relationship to KinbakuLuXuria and Naka-style rope.

What to bring:

Wear whatever feels comfortable for a movie night! Bring any snacks or beverages you may enjoy and also an open mind and heart as we observe the artistry of others from around the world.
