fuoco began her rope journey as a bottom in Phoenix in 2012 and shortly thereafter moved to London, where much of her early rope learning happened. Upon moving back to the US, she began presenting at cons and intensives around the country sharing her love of rope. As an educator, she's decidedly non-dogmatic in her approach to teaching. Her classes aim to help bottoms to better understand their bodies in movement, and to offer riggers the knowledge to adapt their tying to the unique needs of their partners.

When she’s not doing rope, fuoco is a professional acrobat. Her dedicated study of the mechanics of the body make her especially interested in developing more comprehensive education for bottoms informed by these practices. She's also a leftist who believes that kink is inherently political. She strives to bring her politics, her values, and an accountability for those values into her teaching spaces. She lives in Northampton, MA on Pocumtuck land.

I offer two weekend-long intensive formats and a large number of one-off classes. I’m available to travel for teaching, and interested communities should email me to discuss details!

I also offer private tuition and tying sessions out of my home studio in Northampton, MA. I’m available for in-person tuition and some virtual teaching (though I’m particular about what sort of topics I’ll teach on zoom, as there are some things that I don’t believe translate virtually). Most of my teaching centers around body mechanics and the physical experience of being in rope. As a bottoming educator, I’m interested in creating opportunities for bottoms to better understand their bodies in rope. As a rigging educator, I’m interested in helping riggers to move away from tying patterns and towards tying bodies with all of their uniqueness and complexity.

For riggers:
