​​Burgundy Rose

​​Burgundy Rose (she/they) is a rope switch, facilitator, performer and self-suspender interested in using the body as a tool for expression. Since 2016 they have had a broad education in Japanese kinbaku/shibari, and their personal style is influenced by their training in theatre, circus and contemporary dance.  

Burgundy Rose found Shibari through an interest in BDSM, and started learning at Anatomie Studio in London. Since then, they have learnt from an extensive range of international educators and collaborators. Dynamic, playful and attentive, they are curious about the body and thrive on the intensities - both physical and psychological - that rope can bring out.

In 2019 Burgundy Rose was awarded a ‘Developing Your Creative Practice’ grant from Arts Council England to spend a period of time exploring rope, dance and physical theatre where they trained with Jasmin Vardimon Dance Theatre Company (JV Intensive) and with Arnoys Nicolas, a rope artist in Brussels. They also trained on the degree programme at Circomedia, a circus school in Bristol, specialising in aerial hoop.

Burgundy Rose is currently most inspired by blending the intensity and aesthetics of ‘traditional’ Japanese Shibari with a more movement-based and deconstructed ‘contemporary’ style. Their shibari teaching and creative performances have taken them across the UK and international scene.
