Hi! I'm Cali Chaos (she/her) I have been tying since 2012. I originally got into rope as a top because a house rope top told me I was too heavy to be suspended. My repulsion to being told what I can't do quickly turned into a fascination with all the possibilities around rope. I'm very driven by the creativity and bonds that form while tying. My rope vibe is typically very light hearted, even while being sadistic I'll probably be giggling. With my partner M, we created the group Liminal Rope in Philly back in 2022 to help support a community that creates spaces for all kinds of people to experience rope.
M has been practicing rope bondage for fifteen years, perpetually building a skillset balanced between practicality and artistry. For the past 2 years, M has been cofounder of the Philadelphia-based Liminal Rope with Cali - working together to add to the Philly rope scene's strong tradition of delight and inclusivity with education and performance. While typically a top, M is here to be happily yanked around by the extraordinarily talented Cali.
