More about Studio Ma

Rooted in traditional rope practices, the studio offers a welcoming environment for beginners and experienced practitioners. Our programme includes foundational courses, evening classes, regular rope jams, performance evenings, and workshops with international guest teachers. The Japanese concept of Ma - the space between - informs not only how we approach rope, but how we hold the space. We are interested in the somatic dimensions of Shibari: attention, presence, embodiment, communication, and the dialogue between people through touch, tension, movement and stillness.

We host classes and workshops in somatic and movement disciplines. Drawing inspiration from practices such as Authentic Movement, Butoh, embodied awareness and sensuality, we seek to create a rich learning environment that supports personal development, artistic expression, and deeper connection. Studio Ma offers a space where tradition, creativity and curiosity meet.

A space to learn. A space to explore. A space between.
