  • ethical non-monogamy & D/s – Navigating multiple power relationships

    Studio Allegory 386 Powell Street, Vancouver

    The sum is more than its parts. When it comes to multiple simultaneous power relationships, things can get overwhelming really quickly.

  • Emergent Play – when you can’t plan your scene

    Featured Kinky Thursdays
    Studio Allegory 386 Powell Street, Vancouver

    So much to think about when preparing for a scene. Find a date and a space where you are undisturbed (or very much disturbed), negotiate consent, get all the toys and accessories ready, and then, well, you are in the mood for something completely different. In this workshop, we are exploring how we can co-create emergent scenes, that is, where we don't know beforehand what will happen or who will…

  • Shibari Live Drawing

    Featured Art Monday – Live Drawing

    Shibari Live Drawing differs from usual live drawing sessions in two major ways. For one, the poses that can be reached with the help of ropes are very different from anything live drawing models could assume on their own, e.g. suspensions.  On the other hand, those poses are short living, which means that artists are not only met with unusual poses but also with less time to catch them.  In…
