SUMMARY:Rope Processing & Maintenance
DESCRIPTION:This will be a lecture type class with some demonstration. If time permits we may do a little hands on maintenance/repairs of ropes. Because of the environment\, hands on rope processing will not happen at this event. (It can get a little messy and smelly) \n\n\n\nDaremo will cover many topics around the tool used for rope bondage\, the rope. First he will talk about the types of ropes (and other things) used for rope bondage. There will be a large section on different ways one can process ropes\, mainly hemp and jute rope. This will range from basically no treatment to what could almost be a day long process. How and what you decide to do as part of your processing routine will be up to you. \n\n\n\nThe other big section will be on care and maintenance of your ropes. This section will mostly apply to jute rope\, with some parts that apply also to hemp and other ropes. Daremo will discuss different options for things that may help prolong the life of your rope\, and maybe things to avoid that may shorten their life. He will also show how to repair some of the small problems people sometimes encounter like high stranding or jumped strands. \n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\n\nDate and Time: Saturday\, June 28th 2pm – 5pm\n\n\n\nDuration: 3h\n\n\n\nFee: $25\n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None\n\n\n\nMaterial to bring: Welcome to bring ropes that need maintenance but not mandatory\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\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFineprint\n\n\n\nPlease have a look at our policies and safety rules.

SUMMARY:All Levels Rope
DESCRIPTION:The Tuesday All Level runs on an 8-week rotation. 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.

SUMMARY:Welcome Back: A Summer Solstice Ritual with Sharon Pink
DESCRIPTION:As we enter into Summer’s illuminating energy\, what are you called to welcome back\, or perhaps welcome for the first time?

Everything is optional and will be explained as we go along.If rope isn’t your thing\, you’re welcome to bring in another practice/play that will be conducive to a shared space; Bondage\, flogging\, massage\, d/s service\, leather care (no fragrance please!)\, have all worked well in the past. \n\n\n\nA bit of what to expect: Our ritual will begin by Sharon leading the group in collectively casting a circle\, which is a magical container to hold us. Within this circle\, you are invited into a variety of intuitive activities\, listening to poetry\, have space for rope or other practices and allow our intuitive and magical selves to be nourished and have a bit of respite. Again\, everything is optional and will be explained along the way.  \n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\n\nThis is a MASKED EVENT! Please wear KN95 or higher.\n\n\n\n\n\nDate and Time: Sunday\, June 22. 2.30pm – 5pm\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: See description above\n\n\n\nFor individuals or pairs: Any constellation or pairing welcome. \n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSharon Pink\n\n\n\nPlease have a look at our policies and safety rules.Each participants needs a completed release of liability (“waiver”) \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.

SUMMARY:Food play - experience
DESCRIPTION:Food Play with Soya & Salome \n\n\n\nFood engages our senses and body in very intimate and nurturing ways. What if we take it further into a kink play?Join Soya and Salome for an evening of slow\, sensual pleasure with food. Expect things to get messy (don’t worry—the studio is ready for it)! \n\n\n\nYou will be guided to explore all senses through food: taste\, sound\, texture\, intensity\, and beyond.The final 30 minutes will be a collective experience\, where we co-create a human sculpture using food. \n\n\n\nBring any food you’d like to play with—fruits\, vegetables\, your favorite dish… maybe even a cake?Please let us know in advance if you have any allergies.Please do not bring: nuts or any food with strong odors. \n\n\n\nWe also invite you to bring food surplus\, which we’ll donate to a DTES food bank—along with a portion of the event’s income. We recognize the date of this event as the US holiday marking the end of slavery.

SUMMARY:Playfighting
DESCRIPTION:Play fighting is a completely different way of engaging with other people. 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.

SUMMARY:Desire vs fantasy - a world beyond
DESCRIPTION:As part of our kinky Thursday classes\, we will try to explore the world of fantasies\, desires\, and dreams. We often use these words in our conversations about kink\, intimacy\, and sexuality but we rarely think about them in an in-depth way. At the heart of this exploration is the question\, which fantasies and desires should or could be realized and which ones shouldn’t or can’t and why. \n\n\n\nIf we don’t talk about what is possible and what isn’t\, we run into the problem;em of merely repeating the same old stuff that everyone is doing without a chance of experiencing something else.  \n\n\n\nParticipants are invited to use the safe(r) environment of Studio Allegory and talk openly about these things and maybe even try out some of the things that come up. Of course\, there is no guarantee that this class will provide the background before which you can fulfill your fantasy and it isn’t meant to. But this class is designed to create an open climate to express them\, maybe even for the first time. Whenever the question “Am I the only one?” comes up in kink\, the answer is automatically “No!” \n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE THAT WE CANNOT PROVIDE SPACE FOR TYPES OF PLAY THAT ARE EXCLUDED IN THE RULES OF STUDIO ALLEGORY OR THAT ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW! But we can certainly talk about them.  \n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\n\nFor individuals or pairs: Ideally with a partner but solo participation is possible\n\n\n\n\n\nDate and Time: June 12th\, 6.30pm – 9pm\n\n\n\n\n\nDuration: 2.5h\n\n\n\n\n\nFormat: Lecture/discussion with play time afterwards\n\n\n\n\n\nFee: $35/person (members get a discount)\n\n\n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None\n\n\n\n\n\nMaterial to bring: Note taking material and whatever toys you would like to experiment with.\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFineprint\n\n\n\nPlease have a look at our policies and safety rules.

SUMMARY:Experimental Rope & Intimacy
DESCRIPTION:In this class\, we will be working on advanced techniques of Kinbaku/Shibari.  \n\n\n\n\nHow can we approach each other spatially and temporally?\n\n\n\nHow can we find actual\, applicable techniques for connection and intimacy?\n\n\n\nHow can we improve rope handling and techniques so we can focus on more than just tying?\n\n\n\nHow can we embed the tying scene into a greater context and narrative. \n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\n\nDate and Time: Every Wednesday\, 6.30pm – 9pm\n\n\n\nDuration: 2.5h\n\n\n\nFee: $35/person (member discounts available)\n\n\n\nPrerequisites: A good understanding of rope techniques and suspension lines. \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\n\nAccessibility: \n\n\n\n\nStudio Allegory is on the ground floor and there are no steps anywhere in the space.

SUMMARY:All Levels Rope
DESCRIPTION:The Tuesday All Level runs on an 8-week rotation. 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.
