Places
Ontario-based queer rope switch, rigger, teacher and performer working publicly as Kindred / @kindred.ties. London Kinbaku Studio identifies Kindred by the exact Instagram handle, documents a public practice since 2016 and credits them as a 2025 performer and 2026 instructor. Kindred attributes much of their growth in rope bondage to Barkas and Addie; this is represented as study / influence rather than rank, certification or formal lineage.
