Differential Geometry for P*rverts
August 14 @ 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm PDT
Kink, and within it rope bondage, is often seen through one particular lens, that of eroticism, but what if we are looking for similarities in completely different fields?
Higher mathematics doesn’t seem to have anything in common with rope bondage but only a quick look offers a vast variety of tools that can be embedded in the context of rope bondage. After all, tying rope onto someone is nothing but applied differential geometry.
We will look at triangles and their behaviour when we leave a flat plane. We are using the Pythagorean theorem for measuring distances on Euclidean surfaces and see how Gauss, Riemann, and Einstein made it possible to do that on curved surfaces.
A bit of general relativity with its geodesics and relativistic mechanics can help us understand some of the intricacies of rope bondage.
This workshop is first and foremost for people who wonder, who are curious and not only for those with a strong interest in mathematics, physics, and engineering. The contexts we will use will enable participants to understand ropes better and help them with trouble shooting

Studio Allegory also has a quiet room equipped with fidget toys, colouring books, blankets, noise cancelling earmuffs, and stuffed animals. Upon request we can provide closed captions for our workshops running on a screen. We have masks for a small donation. - Cancellation and refund policy:
If Studio Allegory has to cancel an event, we will either refund ticket holders or transfer tickets to similar events in the future, depending on the wishes of the ticket holder.
Cancellation by participants: Cancellation before 48h prior to the start of the event entitles the ticket holder to a full refund. Between 48h and the start of the workshop, we can provide a partial refund (50% minus payment processing fees.) or transfer of the ticket to a similar event in the future.
No refund or transfer can be offered for no-shows or cancellation after the event has started.
