Facilitator
Mx Annix
A pro-domme and harm-reduction worker with a life-long obsession with sharps and blood. Annix is continuously learning new things to help deepen and improve their sharps practice. Some of their experience includes working as an assistant to hook suspension performers, self piercing since 2004, classes (online and in person) on sharps play, sharps cleanliness and wound care, and doing skill shares with a professional piercer. Their first aid and harm reduction training also plays a role in how they approach their practice. Through their sharps journey they have continued to fine tune how they play. Annix keeps safety and cleanliness as their number one priorities, while also bringing an ugly-is-beautiful-creativity into scenes.
