Anoxia (they / them)
is a Chicago-based rope artist, performer, and educator.

Nox loves to deconstruct and synthesize knowledge from an abundance of sources, striving always for a more complete understanding of the interactions of rope, anatomy, psychology, and aesthetics.

After many years of study, they present classes which go beyond patterns and rote memorization to teach underlying principles relevant to students at any point in their rope journey. In play, their rope is often intense, creative, dynamic, and charged with emotional sadism.

They teach privates in their home studio, have presented in small community spaces around the US, and have presented at rope and kink cons like Westcoast Bound, Tethered Together, Kinkfest, Ropecraft, and Desert Bound.

Nox also currently serves on the steering committee for NARIX (North American Rope Innovation eXchange).
