They/Them
Viking was told nearly 20 years ago that they were too fat to be tied and have since dedicated themself to prove that rope can be empowering to experience, especially when you don’t fit the “societal norm”. Rope is a labour of love and what has driven them to learn and practice for so many years is how empowering it is to experience, especially when fat.
Being a former first responder with a theatre and improv background helps them create high energy scenes full of giggles, anguish, and unconventional methods with an open mind. As a sadomasochist switch, they love how deep you can go with someone you care for, trust and are a little afraid of!
Over the past decade, They have taught, performed at, and provided hundreds of bondage rides at Westcoast Bound, FatCon, Pandemonium in the Prairies, the Taboo Sex Show, and other events on the west coast. Viking has been a Dungeon Monitor since 2007 and in 2018, They created and currently run the Vancouver Dungeon Facilitator Team for Westcoast Bound, Glitch and Rascals – a group that facilitates a good time for event attendees rather than policing them.
Dim lighting, loud music, intense scenes all around – going from a quiet, well‑lit class setting to a play party can be overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to tie. This class will go over the non‑negotiable suspension and harness fundamentals you should know by heart so you can find a flow state in your tying, really play, and give your full attention to your tying partner.
We will cover the necessary basics of suspension‑worthy harnesses, the specific purposes of different uplines, how and where to apply them to harnesses, and what you can practice to make your rope handling more seamless when the environment is dark and distracting. This 301‑level class is designed specifically with fat folks in mind but is suitable for all bodies.
