Playful Partials with @SwitchMeister and @Lil_ from the Netherlands

Sunday, February 22, 2026
2:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Partial suspensions can be so much more than “half a tie towards suspension.” They are playful, versatile, and deeply immersive when used with intention. This workshop invites you to break free from rigid patterns and sequences and instead explore partials as a creative, emotional playground.

Together, we’ll experiment with ways to use partials to create intensity, build atmosphere, and shift emotional tone. You’ll learn to use partials not only for their physical positions but also as tools for dialogue and emotional expression—from playful teasing to moments of vulnerability and surrender. Also using micro movements and body handling to get to a point where things become more subtle and interesting in your rope scene

We’ll focus on creative construction, emotional layering, and improvisation, helping you design partials that are less about technical replication and more about authentic connection. This workshop will give you the tools to confidently move beyond formulas and build rope experiences that feel unique and alive.

About the Presenters

Lil (she/her) is a switch based in the Amsterdam region. When she first entered the kink scene, she discovered rope and dove deeply into learning as much as she could. She soon realized that her passion lay not only in experiencing but also in teaching—something she has embraced in other areas of her life as well.

In rope, she enjoys many different flavors, ranging from lighthearted, fast-paced play to more intense and emotional tying. She has learned to use her expressiveness as a tool for clear communication with the person tying her, while also paying close attention to both her own body language and that of her partner to create a shared dialogue through rope.

Switchmeister (he/him, they/them) has been actively participating in the rope world since 2019 and teaching since 2023, tying and having fun with many people along the way. He also organizes Floorplay Rope Jams in the local community and enjoys many aspects of rope: creativity on the floor, nonverbal communication, aggressive affection, body handling, the use of leverage, and a playful mix of slow, pervy, and speed tying.

A self-described reaction fetishist, much of rope bondage for him is about finding new ways to draw out authentic reactions from the people he ties. For him, rope is a space of intimacy infused with curiosity and playfulness.
