The way we move\, think\, and relate to our environment changes in this type of interaction. This group activity lets participants challenge each other for a play fight. All constellations are welcome.  \n\n\n\nIn a safe environment\, participants can challenge themselves and each other to fight with each other in a playful and joyful way. Not winning but experiencing is the focus of this monthly event. At play fighting\, we will start with an introduction that covers motivation\, safety\, consent\, and expectations. \n\n\n\nAfterwards\, it’s the participants’ space and time to experience play fights themselves. \n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFine Print\n\n\n\nPlease have a look at our policies and safety rules. \n\n\n\n\nAccessibility: \n\n\n\n\nStudio Allegory is on the ground floor and there are no steps anywhere in the space.

But how do you actually make this happen? Who decides who goes first\, who goes last\, and most importantly\, who’s footing the bill? This class covers the practical skills of determining the scope of your group play (is it a threesome\, foursome\, moresome?)\, identifying what tasks need to be done to achieve this (who’s bringing the lube and the sling stand?)\, and practical tips on how to actually execute the whole thing (delegate\, delegate\, delegate!). \n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\n\nDate and Time: Thursday\, November 6th 6.30pm-9.30pm\n\n\n\nDoors open 30min prior to the event\n\n\n\nDuration: ~3h\n\n\n\nFee: $35/person (low barrier options available at the door)\n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None\n\n\n\nMaterial to bring: Note taking material and friends. \n\n\n\nFor individuals or pairs: Any constellation welcome\n\n\n\nWho is this for: Queer and friends\n\n\n\nPlease have a look at our policies and safety rules.

At the start of each rotation we introduce a new harness structure. Over the subsequent 7 weeks we then approach that structure from multiple different directions and purposes\, both technical and interpersonal. How can we break down and alter the harness to make it work in certain ways? Can we tie it while moving/dancing/sitting/playfighting? How does it behave in suspension? How can we make it ornate\, or comfortable\, or robust? We also build skills and habits to keep the focus on the interaction between humans rather than the pattern. People approach rope from a myriad different directions\, motivations\, and interests\, so our classes should reflect that diversity of approach.  \n\n\n\nThe order of classes may change depending on the pace and needs of participants. See the curriculum of our rope track \n\n\n\n\nHarness Intro\n\n\n\nDeeper Dive/Different Versions/Magic Tips and Tricks\n\n\n\nTying with Movement/Ranboo\n\n\n\nPartial/Static Suspension (Upline Review)**\n\n\n\nInterview Metaphor\n\n\n\nSuspension with Transition Options (Upline Special Considerations)**\n\n\n\nFloorwork\n\n\n\nChallenges! \n\n\n\n\nAll Level classes are designed for partner work\, though you are welcome to attend solo and absorb information.  \n\n\n\nA brief note on suspension: \n\n\n\nYou don’t have to suspend in these classes! It’s pretty common that newer people choose not to suspend on their first ‘rotation’ through the All Levels class. Work at the pace that suits you\, make sure you feel comfortable with what you are doing\, and we will support you.Please note: Anyone who plans to suspend should attend the appropriate Uplines Friday class. We will briefly review uplines and/or cover special considerations for uplines for a particular tie\, but we will not teach uplines directly.  \n\n\n\nLoaner ropes are available. NO SUSPENSION with loaner ropes. \n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFineprint\n\n\n\n\nDate and Time: Every Tuesday\, 6.30pm – 9pm\n\n\n\nDuration: 2.5h\n\n\n\nFee: $35/person (member discounts available)\n\n\n\nPrerequisites: Basic understanding of knots and frictions\, safety and consent\, as well as movement and communication (Complete Intro to rope cycle).\n\n\n\nMaterial to bring: Bring your own ropes (we have loaner ropes available if you forget yours)\n\n\n\nFor individuals or pairs: Individuals will definitely learn something but the course is designed for pairs. \n\n\n\n\nPlease have a look at our policies and safety rules. \n\n\n\nStudio Allegory is on the ground floor and there are no steps anywhere in the space.

As a form of heavy bondage\, mummification has been described as a way to feel\, to not feel\, to heal and to submit\, but what if it is also a way to connect with someone or yourself intimately? Let’s explore that! You can also expect to exchange experiences\, stories and tips with other attendees. \n\n\n\nAll levels are welcome. We encourage you to bring a material – can be any type – with you for mummification. If this is your first dips into mummification and you are not sure what media you’d like to use\, rope can do too! You do not need a partner for this workshop – come as you are. \n\n\n\nAbout the instructor \n\n\n\nMy name is Shayna. I like bondage art\, especially heavy bondage such as mummification. When I participate in these activities\, I’m interested in expressing and exploring connection between humans under the cultural and social contexts we are/were in. How do we approach intimacy with our own baggage\, is something I think about a lot. \n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\n\nDate and Time: October 30. 6.30pm\n\n\n\nDoors open 30min prior to the event\n\n\n\nDuration: ~3h\n\n\n\nFee: $35/person (Low barrier option available at the door)\n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None/curiosity\n\n\n\nMaterial to bring: Whatever you think would be useful for mummification\, i.e. bandages\, wraps\, foil\, tape\, rope.

Interested in going to events but you don’t know how to behave\, what to wear\, what to do? You are definitely not alone and going to your first kink event can be quite intimidating. This barrier free newcomer orientation helps people who are brand new to take their first steps into the fascinating world of kink. \nWhat to expect\nPart 1 — The first part is a conversation with the participants about the world of kink: Etiquette online and offline\, expectations\, dress codes at events\, possibilities and some recommendations\, especially for single folks. \nPart 2 —We go through a few of the most common kinks: bondage\, impact\, Dominance/submission\, fetishes\, etc. Participants can see how it feels to hold a flogger or be tied up. \nPart 3 — The last part is all about the open questions of the participants: Where to go from here? What to do with this or that fantasy? How to find someone to play with? And many more questions answered.

How can we tune in to our partners’ specific needs and boundaries? How can we assume less\, and instead meet the uniqueness of others with a healthy\, engaged\, and respectful curiosity? \n\n\n\nKink is for everyone\, and no disability or even combination of complex disabilities needs to be the absolute end of our journeys exploring our bodies\, our minds\, and the full rainbow of sensations and experiences available to us. Disability enters all of our lives at some point; so long as we can meet its demands to become more creative lateral thinkers\, we can live just as vibrantly as ever. \n\n\n\nThis discussion will be primarily focused around disability\, but remember\, accessibility is for everyone! “Able-bodied” folks are highly encouraged to join us and participate\, I promise that you will learn and benefit as much as anyone else. \n\n\n\nMeet our guest speaker for this event: \n\n\n\nShiphrah is a queer trans settler\, multicultural grandchild of holocaust survivors\, and ambulatory wheelchair user who has been enthusiastically practicing kink for 15 years. She lives with multiple intersecting complex chronic disabilities defined by unpredictability\, frequently oscillating between being visibly and invisibly disabled. She is a writer of political theory with a focus on capitalism/imperialism from a disabled perspective\, and is a stalwart jewish anti-zionist voice speaking up for the total liberation of Palestine. \n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\n\nDate and Time: Sunday\, October 5th. 6.30pm\n\n\n\nDuration: ~2.5h\n\n\n\nFee: Pay What You Can. \n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None\n\n\n\nMaterial to bring: Note taking material and things you know you need (e.g. meds\, inhalers\, etc.) \n\n\n\nFor individuals or pairs: all constellations welcome\n\n\n\nWho is this for: Queer and Friends\n\n\n\nSpecial requirements: This event is MASK-MANDATORY\n\n\n\n\nPlease have a look at our policies and safety rules.

Not everyone experiences everything the same way\, Some things are off the table for one person but the best thing on earth for another. How to play this game in an intimate and kinky way is the point of this class. A special focus will also be on neurodivergence and sensation play. \n\n\n\nStudio Allegory will provide plenty of different materials for the participants to try out and experiment with. \n\n\n\nDetails \n\n\n\n\nDate and Time: Thursday\, September 25th 6.30pm\n\n\n\nDuration: Approximately 2.5h\n\n\n\nFee: $35/person (low barrier options available at the door)\n\n\n\nPrerequisites: Curiosity\n\n\n\nMaterial to bring: If you have something you want to try out in a safe and guided environment\, bring it. \n\n\n\nFor individuals or pairs: Any constellation is welcome\n\n\n\nWho is this for: Queer and friends\n\n\n\n\nPlease have a look at our policies and safety rules.

At the start of each rotation we introduce a new harness structure. Over the subsequent 7 weeks we then approach that structure from multiple different directions and purposes\, both technical and interpersonal. How can we break down and alter the harness to make it work in certain ways? Can we tie it while moving/dancing/sitting/playfighting? How does it behave in suspension? How can we make it ornate\, or comfortable\, or robust? We also build skills and habits to keep the focus on the interaction between humans rather than the pattern. People approach rope from a myriad different directions\, motivations\, and interests\, so our classes should reflect that diversity of approach.  \n\n\n\nThe order of classes may change depending on the pace and needs of participants. See the curriculum of our rope track \n\n\n\n\nHarness Intro\n\n\n\nDeeper Dive/Different Versions/Magic Tips and Tricks\n\n\n\nTying with Movement/Ranboo\n\n\n\nPartial/Static Suspension (Upline Review)**\n\n\n\nInterview Metaphor\n\n\n\nSuspension with Transition Options (Upline Special Considerations)**\n\n\n\nFloorwork\n\n\n\nChallenges! \n\n\n\n\nAll Level classes are designed for partner work\, though you are welcome to attend solo and absorb information.  \n\n\n\nA brief note on suspension: \n\n\n\nYou don’t have to suspend in these classes!

All constellations are welcome.  \n\n\n\nIn a safe environment\, participants can challenge themselves and each other to fight with each other in a playful and joyful way.
