CLAW 25 Bound & Beautiful Application Form

Description:
Bound and Beautiful at CLAW is an interactive exhibition celebrating the art of Shibari and rope bondage. This year, we proudly present Bound and Beautiful: A Night at the Movies. Riggers are challenged to compose captivating tableaus inspired by iconic movies or genres, bringing the magic of cinema to life through the art of rope bondage. Talented rope artists and practitioners from around the country and internationally will offer attendees a rare opportunity to witness their creativity and skills in this unique, immersive setting. We are actively seeking skilled tops and bottoms to participate in this extraordinary showcase.

Event Highlights:

  • A Cinematic Showcase: Experience live demonstrations of Shibari and rope bondage, with riggers presenting tableaus inspired by beloved films and genres. Witness artistry that pays homage to the silver screen while celebrating the beauty of bondage.

  • Fundraising Auction: As part of the exhibition, demo bottoms will model custom CLAW jockstraps. These unique jockstraps, adorned during live demonstrations, will be available through a silent auction after having been worn for the entire event. Proceeds will support CLAW’s local and international charities, amplifying the event's positive impact.
