Stacks Image 83
Mark has been contributing to the scene for the last 12 years. Along this journey he has sponsored educational tours to Australia by well-known international presenters including Midori and Lee Harrington, whilst also staging the fetish ball L'Erotica in both Melbourne in 2005 and Sydney in 2006. The world class line up of performers included Midori, Satomi, Lukas Zpira of France, Zamil & Maliz of Berlin, Bridgett Harrington of the USA, and of course Mark of DV8House.

Mark began teaching internationally back in 2005 when he was asked to present at the very first Austin Ropecraft Symposium in Texas along with Zamil, Lochai, Bridgett Harrington and Ellie the Nomad. Whilst at Austin in 2005, Mortis asked Mark to present at Shibaricon III in Chicago and over the years he has continued his international education tours.

Aleni has had the opportunity to present at a multitude of events whilst traveling alongside Mark. She has her own unique teaching style, but all should be warned to watch for that wicked cheeky glint in her eyes.
