“In the night of Brahma, nature is inert, and cannot dance till Shiva wills it: He rises from his rapture, and dancing sends through inert matter pulsing waves of awakening sound, and matter also dances appearing as a glory round about him. Dancing, he sustains its manifold phenomena. In the fulness of time, still dancing, he destroys all forms and names by fire and gives new rest. This is poetry; but none the less, science.”

Coomaraswamy, Ananda, “The Dance of Shiva; fourteen Indian Essays”, 1970, Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers, New Dehli.

Every Wednesday Dasniya Sommer will be teaching an additional and regular Shibari class in Kreuzberg. The focus will lie on the technical aspects of Japanese Rope Bondage and on how to tie, untie and suspend a person. She says “By clearly engaging in the technique we will try to raise our technical levels and see how they can be combined. On a long run, we could think of a staged group situation besides the individual games.”

I acquired a new piece. I am so happy! I don’t like to show off ;) but this one I’m really proud of. Thanx Rinz!

She has already been interviewed in SB, presented, commented, but I still can’t get enough of her.
