Kaspian Kinbaku Shibari (Rope Art)

Kaspian, a performance artist carving out a niche in the Japanese Aerial rope art performance Shibari/Kinbaku. His contemporary, yet spontaneous and Pioneering approach to the connective art form entrances audiences across New Zealand, leaving a lasting impression in a remarkably short time and making something so "Highwire" and risky seem so easy for onlookers to explore.
From captivating audiences with intimate showcases at venues like the Naked world & Thursdays Bar, to delivering dynamic suspensions and transitions amidst pulsating raves at events like Lakeside Odyssey, Ignition, and Dimensions Festival, Kaspian's Shibari style commands attention regardless of the duration of the performance.
Kaspian and his professionally trained performers, often begin with an edge-of-your-seat anticipation akin to a high-wire act, evoking a sense of danger that transitions into a profound display of trust and connection between the rigger and the model. As the model surrenders to the restraints, Kaspian guides them through a journey of vulnerability and empowerment, ultimately returning them to themselves with care and compassion. Through his artistry, Kaspian aims to inspire awe and give permission for people to be their authentic selves.
