2017-

Era: 2010s

Austin / Texas Japanese-influenced rope-bondage and shibari teaching project associated with Marc GentLeeBrutal. Current official pages present 1701 Studio through the Austin Rope Collective curriculum, with four modules spanning foundations, intermediate partial suspensions, introductory static suspension and advanced suspension, regular Tuesday classes and Thursday practice / jam nights, plus private lessons, photoshoots and video sessions including Tethered Together 2023 with Marc / GentLeeBrutal and Jordyn / PedalGirl. The current ARC page also frames the curriculum as a collaboration with Heartland Kinbaku, but public evidence keeps the strongest current map connection centered on Marc's existing studio-teaching role.
