MORE ABOUT YOUR PERFORMERS
HenRigger and A-typeSub
With over 15 years of dedicated learning and experience between them, HenRigger (he/him) and A-typeSub (she/her) have been rope, kink and BDSM partners together for over 5 years.
Through this journey of deep connection and adventure, they have explored a wide variety of kinks and BDSM practices, always maintaining a focus on their love of rope at the core.
They have developed their own non-dogmatic approach to tying, built on years of classical shibari and kinbaku education as a foundation, and a deep trust of each other. Their personal style ranges from intense semenawa, shame and kink play through to extreme shapes and artistic-athletic endurance.
From weekly classes at the Copenhagen Shibari Dojo, workshops and classes by incredible experts such as Naka San, Kinoko, Gorgone, Kanna, Anatomie, Cordas, RopuNawa, Tori, Alexander, Scot Kinbaku and more – they are now educating others. They teach several advanced classes at the Kinbaku Lounge, kinky floor play, and semenawa. They also offer a range of workshops with deep-dives into shibari / kinbaku themes and techniques, plus specific topics such as impact play, needles, medical play, water and breath play, electrical play, pet play and hot wax play.
They love to share the joy of rope, kink and BDSM with others and have performed together countless times. Stages have ranged from large exhibitions such as Erotic World and Manifest, through to showcases at the Kinbaku Lounge and intimate private events. They adapt their style to the wishes of the audience, and feel great joy from sharing these moments with others – actively involving the onlookers in the moments and emotions.
