Beatrice Gigliuto

Based in Copenhagen, I create warm, inclusive spaces where you can explore rope bondage, kink, and intimacy at your own pace, whether you're completely new to all of this or deepening a practice you already love.

Rope is a language. I'll help you find your own words.

My work is rooted in consent, curiosity, and care. Whether you're stepping into Shibari for the first time or looking to go deeper into kink education and intimacy, you'll find a judgment-free space here.

I had a truly freeing experience.

I was wary putting that much trust into someone new to me, but talking to Beatrice both over email and in person negotiating the scene really made me feel at ease. She made me feel safe and cared for throughout the whole process

The setting appears to be an indoor studio or performance space with stage lighting and black backdrop.

    Workshops & Events

    Group workshops, immersive kink education evenings, and community events, including the annual Queer Knots Festival. A place to learn, connect, and get hands-on in a supportive group setting.

  • A woman with shoulder-length brown hair wearing a black off-shoulder dress and fishnet stockings, sitting cross-legged on a patterned rug, engaged in a conversation with a person whose back is turned, with visible short dark hair and a tattooed arm. They are indoors, on a decorated dark rug and lighter patterned background rugs.

    Intimacy Coaching

    A guided process for individuals and partners to explore relationships, desires, and communication. Ask the questions you've always been afraid to ask, in a space that holds them with care.

I believe that understanding your body, your desires, and your relationships is a radical act.

I'm Beatrice Gigliuto, queer feminist Shibari artist, kink educator, and intimacy coach. For over 15 years, I've been teaching, performing, and building community around rope bondage across Europe, with a home base in Copenhagen and deep roots in Italy.

My approach is intersectional, trauma-informed, and always grounded in consent. I don't teach rope as a trick; I teach it as a language of trust, presence, and creativity. Through workshops, private sessions, and my work co-organising the Queer Knots Festival, I'm committed to making kink education accessible, safe, and genuinely joyful.
