Toronto's Exclusive Events Venue For The Alt Community

Tonight! Rigger friends @bh.rope and @tifereth.rope explore parlour tricks and hashira predicament magic as they give out side quests and go down more TK rabbit holes.

Tickets available via BirdhausTO.com!

A world of potential awaits when you take backbending to the air, as without that pesky ground in the way the potential for thrilling and demanding shapes expands. In this two hour class, we’ll explore various ways into and safely out of backbends in the air.

We’ll cover pros and cons of harnesses for achieving impressive and sensation forward ranges of motion, lowering into poses versus lifting into them, and ways of moving the strain of the position through different chains of the body.

Prerequisites:

Riggers: all bondage basics, bondage safety for suspension, at least one sustainable upper body harness and one sustainable lower body harness, confidence with suspension lines, good communication skills.

Models: tolerance of sustained time in positions that create rounding or arching of the spine, confidence communicating needs in rope, ideally some suspension experience.

Level: 301 - intermediate/advanced, suspension skills required.

Self tie friendly? - partially, much of the content is adaptable.

Tickets available via BirdhausTO.com!

Exploring our partner’s ability to backbend through hogties, kneeling poses and more are one of the classic ways to enjoy positional restriction on the ground. In this 90(ish) minute class, we’ll explore how to create exciting and sustainable positional strain.

We’ll discover the different ways to manage safely creating the effect of a curved spine, tackle the ways that these positions can create strain on the ability to breath, and explore options for both intensifying and bringing ease into this demanding and thrilling range of motion.

Prerequisites:

Riggers: single column tie, basic frictions, basic understanding of bondage safety.

Models: tolerance of sustained time in positions that create rounding or arching of the spine, confidence communicating needs in rope.

Level: 103: beginner friendly, some basic skills required

Self tie friendly? - partially, much of the content is adaptable.

Last chance to grab tickets to this essential class for those looking to advance their tying practice!

This extended workshop offers an in-depth breakdown of the boxtie (also known as a TK), one of the most widely used upper body harnesses in rope bondage. Tickets are available via BirdhausTO.com

We’ll focus on developing a mechanical understanding of the tie: how it functions, how to adapt it for different bodies, and how to make it sustainable for suspension. The version taught in this class blends structural elements from various styles and is compatible with a wide range of techniques and body types.

Part 1:
Technical construction of a suspension-ready boxtie
Understanding the function of each component
Adjustments for common body shapes and limitations
Improving sustainability and safety in stress positions
Communication and troubleshooting

Part 2:
Guided exploration of partial and full suspension (time permitting)
Personalized feedback and refinement of technique

Newer riggers will leave with a strong grasp of suspension-capable design. More experienced attendees will gain valuable tips, variations, and one-on-one guidance to improve tie integrity and sustainability.

Prerequisites for Riggers: None
Self-Tie Friendly?: NO
Prerequisites for Models: Must be able to place arms behind back at a 90° angle without pain

From worship to trampling, heels to boots—FEET is all about what happens below the ankle. Slip ‘em off or lace ‘em up, then step into a night of toe-tingling fun and sole-to-soul connection.

We’ll have plenty of stations for polishing toes and rubbing tired soles, as well as a bootblack who’s services will be available to partygoers. Additionally, demonstrations from Goddess Freya Faye will be running in the basement for anyone looking to expand their pedal proficiency!

Ever asked yourself “what even is Birdhaus?” Or pointed at the pink building and wondered what goes on inside? 👀

On September 6, we’re opening the doors for OpenHaus: a salon-style evening for the alt-curious and the well-versed (hosted alongside @glouberman). Think convention-style flow: drift between conversations on play-party planning, leather, latex, rope, grappling, impact, non-monogamy, and more.

This isn’t a play party, and it isn’t a munch. It’s something in between: A space to connect, explore, and maybe shift your perspective.

🎟 Tickets $27.50
📍 Birdhaus, Toronto
🍸 Bar open

Tonight! Upstairs is construction chaos, downstairs is constructivism as Tinker Tuesday enjoys a very special basement edition!

Join rigger friends @bh.rope and @tifereth.rope as they attempt to determine what was meant by kamikaze rope when it was pitched, and finally put Tif’s art degree to good use. Also featured - yoga, side quests, some delicious snacks from @coirefood and more.

Say screw the outside world, refuse to touch grass, retreat to your true basement-dwelling state with us tonight!

Come level up your self-tie practice with this workshop on partial suspension. Tickets available via BirdhausTO.com

We’ll explore movement-based ties using hip and waist harnesses, with a focus on body awareness, line management, and sustainable structure. This class includes clear instruction on safety and simple lock-offs to help you move into the air with confidence and creativity.

Ideal for solo practitioners looking to expand their practice, play with suspension, or gain more control over their own scenes.

Prerequisites:

Familiarity with single column ties and upline lock-offs
A working hip harness is recommended
Participants should bring their own rope and ring, and have a good understanding of their body’s limits

Self-tie friendly: This one’s for you!

Start your afternoon with a beginner-friendly class on lower-body ties and frictions, then stay for Cat’s Cradle, our recurring queer rope jam and hangout. Tickets available via BirdhausTO.com

In the first 90 minutes, we’ll dive into frictions: essential tools for creating structure and tension in rope. Learn to build usable futomomos (bent-leg ties), as well as hip and waist harnesses that are practical for both self-tie and partnered play. We’ll explore patterns like the half hitch, Munter hitch, X friction, half moon, full moon, and L friction, along with their uses in restraint and support.

This class is especially supportive for self-tiers but techniques apply broadly.

Then… the jam begins.
After class, stick around for Cat’s Cradle — a laid-back rope jam focused on queer connection, creativity, and shared learning. No experience necessary. Bring your rope, your snacks, and your favourite people (or come solo).

Prerequisites: None required; knowledge of a single column is helpful but not necessary
Self-tie friendly: Yes

This is a queer forward event. People of all genders and sexual orientations are welcome.

Tonight! Rigger friends @bh.rope and @tifereth.rope try not to get burned because THE FLOOR IS LAVA at Tinker Tuesday! Also featured, the Bengu, summer mentoring and more!

The catering continues with @coirefood so come hungry, and stay for the continued active construction and chaos.

A last minute cancellation has opened a spot in our schedule, so we decided to fill it with a new party idea! Tickets available via BirdhausTO.com

Welcome to Cinched, a play-focused rope event where your darker bondage desires are set free.

Enjoy the full extent of Birdhaus’s extensive collection of gear, hard points, toys, and bamboo structures with vibe-y lighting, deeper beats, and a mattress or two to soften landings and pad knees.

While upstairs remains a little lighter and more social in tone, we ask that for this event downstairs be maintained as a space exclusively used by those actively engaged in play, aftercare, or silent (and respectfully distanced) voyeurism.

The Birdhaus rope crew are so excited to be able to host the incredible @devilmaskstudio folks @goodmosttimes @ordinals_ and @_oji_pan_ for this two part mini-intensive on adapting historical ties. Expect tonnes of materials (yes we are breaking out the big projector screen), and a chance to dive into ties from the past. A rare treat Toronto, so don’t miss out!

Reinterpret. Rebuild. Revive. Inspired by Hajime Kinoko’s reminder that “it’s not about Shibari being great, it’s about individuality,” this intensive explores creative adaptation from historical Japanese rope sources. We’ll take you from deconstructing harness patterns to re-engineering full suspension sequences - focusing on adaptability, self-expression, and the ability to think beyond “correct” replication.

Part II: Sequence Adaptation (2pm - 4pm)

Building on Part I, we’ll shift focus to dynamic suspension transitions. You’ll analyze how historical ties move in practice, then work hands-on to modify and integrate them into new sequences. This is an advanced, highly participatory session - expect to experiment, observe, critique, and push your suspension skills into new (and old) territory.

Tonight! Join @bh.rope and @tifereth.rope as they navigate the construction zone that is Birdhaus as they construct bamboo megastructures, new harnesses and more.

Sunday Night Smut: The Sillier Side of Sex

Just because we take sex seriously doesn’t meant mean we can’t laugh our asses off while doing it! Tickets available via BirdhausTO.com

You are cordially invited to join us on Sunday, July 13 for our next edition of Sunday Night Smut, where the theme will be The Sillier Side of Sex! Laughter and fun will ensue as we feature two vintage sex comedies that will have you grinning and squirming in pleasure in equal measure.

Our first feature is All Night Long (1976), starring the inimitable John Holmes and Sharon Thorpe, a sexy little number that starts with a goofy awards ceremony that turns into a voyeuristic competition to see which stud can pleasure the most women in a given night. Needless to say, hilarity and hotness ensue.

Our second film is Blonde Ambition (from 1981… and no, NOT the Madonna movie!). It stars Suzy Mandel and Dory Devon as the Kane sisters, two song and dance performers who work their way from the styx to Broadway success by using all the ahem… talents at their disposal, with plenty of screwball wackiness along the way.

** Content warning: these films are from an era very different than ours, and may contain scenarios and representations that could today be considered problematic.

In this two part class we will explore Tenshi, a harness invented by Tifereth to be a sustainable and highly maneuverable arms-only tie. Tickets available via BirdhausTO.com

In part one we will learn both its construction (including essential tips and tricks for tying fluidly and attaching to it), Models will learn techniques for safety and sustainability in this fun and versatile tie. This class is suitable both for those new to tying tenshi, and for those experienced in the tie looking for focused refinement for different needs and bodies.

Prerequisites for Riggers: Experience tying other upper body harnesses

Prerequisites for Models: Confidence with communicating needs, and an experienced understanding of their body in rope.

In part 2 we’ll get into the air with Tenshi, as we explore ways of pushing this versatile tie to its limits. We’ll cover getting into and out of twists and backbends, how to use the tie for vertical positioning, and a little bit of info on using the single arm variants under load as well.

Prerequisites for Riggers: Riggers should be familiar with Tenshi (either by attending part one, or a past class on the topic), as well as be comfortable running suspension lines. They should also have a safe and comfortable lower body supportive harness they can tie.

Prerequisites for Models: Models should have good awareness of their body, in particular their shoulders, and feel confident communicating needs efficiently in the air.

Join the Birdhaus crew as we explore the vast world of how to wrap the upper body with this beginner class. Tickets available via BirdhausTO.com

We will be covering 3 different chest ties, how they are constructed and ways they can be used to be playful and connective with your partner.

We are so excited to be hosting the exceptional @dancehalldyke and @slab.me.harder for a weekend of performance and deep dives into rope. Tickets available via BirdhausTO.com!

This intensive is about building “traditional” rope scenes. At its heart we hope to move closer to finding meaning in the question: How do we transform intricate patterns and suspension sequences into scenes charged with heat, intimacy, and vulnerability?

So often we get caught up in technical tying and lose sight of the moment and each other. The technicalities of fear and emotions surrounding gote shibari (TK/boxtie) provide a beautiful classical stage to explore navigating these obstructions and answering the above question. Flowing through a journey with three movements we will explore ways we can add movement, intention, and vulnerability into our ties to create more cohesive and powerful scenes using gote shibari (TK/boxtie).

Movement I: The Rope - We will focus on the decision-making behind the gote shibari (TK/boxtie) — seeking to tie with clarity, purpose, and structure. By developing a mental framework for our choices, we hope to create space for intentionality and calm, helping us move away from anxiety and into presence.

Movement II: The Heart - Movement can be a powerful component to add to a scene, but it also carries a lot of challenges. We will discuss strategies for tying in motion, body manipulation, rope handling while moving, communicating via movement, safety in motion, and allow for practice time.

Movement III: The Devil - When ego, distraction, or insecurity tempts how do we find our way back to and reconnect with the deeper “why” behind our ropes. What is our why? What stories are we telling? What dynamics are we building? This is where rope becomes not just an activity, but a mirror.

For a full workshop description and presenter bios check out our website!

Birdhaus

The Space

Birdhaus launched in the Entertainment District’s notorious 263 Adelaide St W shortly followed by a move to a larger historic space in Liberty Village. An expansion to a larger space just off Queen St came in 2024 along with expanded content, a cocktail program and so much more. With a 100 year storied history, the venue has been transformed into an intimate space for the city’s avant-garde.

Who We are

Co-Owners Miranda and Tifereth are veteran producers and performers in both the local and global alternative arts scenes. Passionately committed to providing safe, thrilling spaces for all looking to explore their wild side, they bring a collective wealth of experience curating everything from large scale fetish events to intimate workshop weekends.
