  Sara

  (she/her)

  Operations Manager

  Sara first found rope in 2013 and has been happily tangled up in it ever since. From self-tying and acrobatic-inspired flying to hanging in trees and creating elaborate photography, she loves exploring the unexpected places rope can go. While she enjoys the unique ways rope can challenge her body through shapes and stress, her favourite moments are found on the floor, using rope as a tool for connection, communication, and expression.

  Kosmick

  (they/them)

  Resident Rope Instructor

  Kosmick has been getting tangled in knots most of their adult life, with an interest in the beauty and narrative power of bondage. They began studying rope bondage in 2011.. As an instructor, they take an approach of breaking down classic structures and forms, with an emphasis on *why* things are tied the way they are, and an examination of the decision making processes of a tie. They are committed to demystifying rope bondage and empowering learners at all levels.

  Red

  (any)

  Self Tie Instructor / Assistant Manager

  Red has been, well, self-tying since she picked up a rope. Self-tie is a core part of his rope practice, from performances to self-scenes to using his body as a centerpiece for his art projects. Red loves sharing her passion for self-tie through instruction, skill-sharing, and mentoring, and she’s thrilled to be able to continue to do so at Probe.
