Instructor Details:

Mango
Originally from Europe and currently residing in Ottawa, Canada, Mango (He/him) started his rope journey in 2015 as a rigger. He enjoys challenging and tormenting ropes, the playful art of semenawa. His main interest lies in simple ties and the classics of Kinbaku. He equally enjoys exploring floorwork and suspensions as they allow a vast array of play possibilities. In January, 2022, Nawashi Akechi Kanna, one of Japan’s leading and most influential rope artists and teachers, named him an official instructor of their style. Mango has assisted Kanna in their teaching in Japan, Singapore, Canada and the US. He has performed and shared his knowledge about semenawa in over a dozen countries across the world (Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa) as well as closer to home. He is the co-founder of CORE, a rope education collective in Ottawa.

Rio
Originally from Brazil, and now residing in Montreal, Canada, Rio (they/them) has been practicing rope since 2017 as both a top and a bottom. While they have experience in different rope styles, they hold a special interest in the Kanna-ryu philosophy. Their practice values connecting through torment in play, emphasizing body awareness and its impact on choices and movement. They focus on sharing experiences to foster a deeper understanding of ourselves and developing meaningful rope partnerships.
