SUMMARY:Head and Shoulders\, Knees and ... Ropes
DESCRIPTION:Rope bondage moves the mind and the heart but also\, and most obviously\, the body. There are poses\, dynamics\, forces\, and movements possible that wouldn’t occur in everyday life and this bears risks for both the person in ropes and the person tying. \nThis class\, led by Dr. Marina Liarsky\, offers ways for both sides on the ropes to prepare for the most common practices\, avoid the most common injuries\, as well as possible approaches to therapy in case of an injury. \nThe workshop includes a presentation\, demonstrations\, and practice time with a specific focus on injury management and prevention.

SUMMARY:Tip Top Shape: Topping Skills
DESCRIPTION:There are classes on all sorts of “hard skills” when it comes to topping: how to throw a flogger\, how to tie a certain harness\, how to make people bend to your will. This class is about the experience of topping. How does one become good as a Top\, generally? Just like bottoming\, topping is a skill that can be developed. \nThis class is for aspiring Tops\, Dominants\, and any D-type who wants to better their skills in the art of being in charge. We will discuss cultivating attentiveness\, creative problem solving\, as well as how to assume risks in order to get what you want. We will also cover playing within your area of expertise – and how to successfully push outside of your comfort zone (and hopefully of the person bottoming).

SUMMARY:Knot Speed Dating
DESCRIPTION:Looking for someone to tie with? Someone to play with? This event is for you. \nWe’ll start with a series of playful games and activities designed to help you get a feel for potential partners without the awkwardness of standing around and finally working up the courage to say\, “So… do you like rope?” \nYou’ll find yourself answering questions at speed\, participating in rope-pulling\, collaborating on tying a pillow\, and discovering what happens when the person who usually ties is blindfolded. And that’s just the beginning. \nCome meet people\, play a little\, experiment a lot\, and see who you click with. No pressure to find the one\, just plenty of opportunities to find someone you’d like to tie\, play\, or maybe just have a really good conversation with. \nCome solo\, leave with possibilities

SUMMARY:Rituals In Kink - Moments That Matter
DESCRIPTION:Humans are weird little creatures. We light candles\, wear lucky socks\, always make tea in the same mug\, and somehow convince ourselves that putting our boots on in just the right order makes us feel more powerful. \nTurns out… we might be onto something.\nRitual isn’t about being mystical (unless that’s your thing). It’s about creating meaning\, marking transitions\, and telling our brains\, “Hey\, this moment matters.” \nIn this class we’ll explore why rituals show up in kink\, what they can do for our scenes and relationships\, and how to create rituals that actually feel like you\, whether that’s a carefully choreographed power exchange or just taking three deep breaths before asking\, “So… what are we doing today?” \nCome curious. Leave with a few new ideas and probably at least one oddly specific habit.

SUMMARY:Shibari Live Drawing
DESCRIPTION: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.  \nOn 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.  \nIn two Shibari performances by different Shibari practitioners from the community\, the participants will meet different body types every time.  \nAll levels welcome\, all media welcome (photography is dependent on the performer’s individual wishes and only as long as it does not disturb the other participants).  \n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Hypnokink 201 - Practical Mindplay Lab
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on workshop builds on the foundations covered in Consent\, Control\, and a Little Mindplay and is designed for participants who are ready to begin practicing hypnosis in a kink context. \nThrough guided partner exercises\, participants will develop practical skills in assessing responsiveness\, planning a scene\, induction\, deepening\, fractionation\, safe emergence\, and post-hypnosis care.\nThe focus of this workshop is skill development\, safety\, and confidence-building through supervised practice. Participants will have the opportunity to both experience and facilitate hypnotic exercises in a structured\, consent-focused environment.\nParticipants may attend with a partner or solo. Practice partners are not guaranteed\, and observing is always welcome. Anyone may stop\, switch roles\, observe\, or opt out of any exercise at any time without explanation.\nAs this workshop involves hands-on participation\, attendance will be limited to ensure an appropriate learning environment. \nPrerequisite:\nParticipants must have also attended Consent\, Control\, and a Little Mindplay. \nApplication required.\nNo drop-in participation possible!\nPlease send an application with a brief description of your intent\, confirmation of prerequisites\, and a few words about yourself (and your partner if applicable) to info@studio-allegory.com. You will get a notice of approval including a ticket link within 2 days of your application. \nNot being approved for this workshop does not prevent participation in future classes or other Allegory events.

SUMMARY:Kink outside the box
DESCRIPTION:Congratulations! You’ve successfully acquired a kink label. Unfortunately\, it may have come with a complimentary box. \nIf you’ve ever caught yourself thinking\, “A real top wouldn’t…” or “I’m a terrible submissive because…”\, this class is for you. Together we’ll examine the expectations we inherit\, question the rules nobody remembers agreeing to\, and try on ways of relating that might surprise us. \nThrough discussion\, reflection\, and playful exercises we’ll explore what happens when we stop trying to be the “perfect” anything and start being ourselves instead.

SUMMARY:The more the merrier? Poly and D/s
DESCRIPTION:Many kinksters are also in ethical non-monogamous relationships or have multiple play partners. Many of those are stumbling into these constellations on a trial and error basis and it takes a lot of work and effort to unlearn drilled in behaviours from the world of monogamy. In this class\, we are offering some general suggestions and many little tools to help people navigate poly and kink\, specifically power relationships. We are not telling you how you should do it but rather what problems can arise in certain situations and how to circumvent them or to deal with them head on.\n\n\n\nBring your curiosity\, some note taking material and as many of your partners and crushes as you can. An evening full of laughs\, tears\, and hopefully many aha moments.

SUMMARY:The floor is open - A kinky dance class
DESCRIPTION:If you are used to getting your feet tied up in knots on the dance floor\, we are offering a class to learn some versatile basics of partner dancing! We’ll be bringing all kinds of music out to rope folks in and play with connection through rhythm and laughter. We’re not ordering you to do any special steps or dances\, it is just a relaxed mood and exploratory play as you negotiate with your partner with some gentle touch and groovy sway. The Felwinters have been dancing the blues in Vancouver for about a decade and are jazzed to share and connect with the community through touch and song. \nThe class portion of the event goes from 3 PM till 5 PM and the social gathering directly afterwards goes till 9 PM. Tickets for the class include the social event. You can also just get your social event ticket and arrive at 5 PM to dance and enjoy the evening together in a safe(r) space.

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. \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. \nAfterwards\, it’s the participants’ space and time to experience play fights themselves.

SUMMARY:The promise of identity in kink
DESCRIPTION:What is identity? What is a kink identity? Who am I and if yes\, why? What are we doing when we identify as? These and more questions are far more important for our daily experience with kink\, intimacy\, relationships\, and sexualities than we might think. \nIn this workshop we are taking a path to a different understanding of identity by deconstructing the terms involved. The promise of identity becomes a model of ourselves as malleable and we can thus create an identity of ourselves that we feel comfortable with. \nContent. \n\ndifferent identities\nEntrance rituals\nCategorization and the crisis of identity\nShame\nWays out of the crisis of identity.\nCreating our own identity.

SUMMARY:Cute\, Cuddly\, Controversial
DESCRIPTION:Some kinks are shrouded in a great deal of misunderstanding\, leading to stigma and shame for those who feel drawn to them. While Ageplay dynamics are sometimes associated with problematic subjects in some peoples’ minds\, the reality is that this kind of role play can be deeply comforting\, endearingly silly\, and very sexy. \nThis course will explore the various roles and dynamics nestled under the umbrella of ageplay—including bratting\, Caregiver/little dynamics like DDlg\, and ABDL— while seeking to unpack and dispel some common points of confusion about this surprisingly common type of play.

SUMMARY:Controversies - Let's talk about kink
DESCRIPTION:Kink is embedded in the circuits of the social as is any other practice with the exception that arguably in kink\, we are dealing with vulnerabilities that somehow seem to differentiate it from any other cultural practice; and it is not without controversies. In the eyes of society\, kink is already controversial but there are also controversies within the kink scene. From practicing to accepting\, from tolerating to shaming\, different practices as well as different approaches to practices have always and will always lead to controversies within the field of practitioners. \nIn this Discussion\, we are picking up some of these controversies and\, without trying to settle them\, we are holding space for an open debate about differing views.

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.  \nOn 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.  \nIn two Shibari performances by different Shibari practitioners from the community\, the participants will meet different body types every time.  \nAll levels welcome\, all media welcome (photography is dependent on the performer’s individual wishes and only as long as it does not disturb the other participants).  \n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Bare hands - Impact without toys
DESCRIPTION:We all are already equipped with some pretty amazing impact tools: Our bodies with all its softer and harder\, lighter and heavier parts. In this class we invite the participants to experiment with their own ‘factory-installed’ impact toys. Under the guidance of Addie\, who is mainly practicing impact play with their own body\, we will explore fundamental aspects like which body parts can be used for stingy and which for thuddy hits\, physical and emotional safety\, the use of body weight behind impact\, soft and hard surfaces\, as well as more creative ways to use our bodies for impact play. \nThis class is a great opportunity to try out these techniques. Solo participants are welcome\, and we encourage you to pair up with others or join an existing group. However\, please note that active practice for solo participants cannot be guaranteed.

SUMMARY:Shibari - Suspensions
DESCRIPTION:Intro to suspensions builds the foundations for a wide variety of skills beyond the basics. \nIn these sessions\, we slow things down and build the skills to help you become confident\, capable rope players. You’ll refine your techniques\, explore simple patterns with more intention\, and start working with connection\, communication. We offer a mix of hands-on guidance\, practical exercises\, and space to ask the questions that don’t quite fit into an intro class. \nPerfect for anyone who wants to solidify their fundamentals\, deepen their understanding\, and feel ready to step into our full range of rope offerings. \nCome build confidence\, control\, and creativity — one knot at a time.

SUMMARY:Hypnokink 201 - Practical Mindplay Lab
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on workshop builds on the foundations covered in Consent\, Control\, and a Little Mindplay and is designed for participants who are ready to begin practicing hypnosis in a kink context. \nThrough guided partner exercises\, participants will develop practical skills in assessing responsiveness\, planning a scene\, induction\, deepening\, fractionation\, safe emergence\, and post-hypnosis care.\nThe focus of this workshop is skill development\, safety\, and confidence-building through supervised practice. Participants will have the opportunity to both experience and facilitate hypnotic exercises in a structured\, consent-focused environment.\nParticipants may attend with a partner or solo. Practice partners are not guaranteed\, and observing is always welcome. Anyone may stop\, switch roles\, observe\, or opt out of any exercise at any time without explanation.\nAs this workshop involves hands-on participation\, attendance will be limited to ensure an appropriate learning environment. \nPrerequisite:\nParticipants must have also attended Consent\, Control\, and a Little Mindplay. \nApplication required.\nNo drop-in participation possible!\nPlease send an application with a brief description of your intent\, confirmation of prerequisites\, and a few words about yourself (and your partner if applicable) to info@studio-allegory.com.

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. \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. \nAfterwards\, it’s the participants’ space and time to experience play fights themselves.

SUMMARY:Mechanical engineering for perverts
DESCRIPTION:Not a workshop but a laboratory. Playful experimenting with all kinds of things and materials that could be put together into hand-made fucking machines. There will be motors\, hand cranks\, rods\, connectors\, joints\, sliders\, and tools for us all to make a functional machine together. And the best part: after making it\, we need to see if it actually works.* Team work makes the dream work! \nYou don’t need to have any tools or skills\, just curiosity. The machines that work will be available at the studio until the next lab.  \n*Please bring your own toy (suction cup or vac-u-loc attachment style toys) as well as a towel if you want to try.

SUMMARY:Fantasy Toys: Everything you wanted to know
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Dax is showing us everything we always wanted to know about fantasy sex toys: how they are made\, what stiffness means for different makers\, how to care for them\, and what they might be able to signify for people who don’t want just a cheap (and still overpriced) copy of yet another penis. \nAfter a presentation and discussion\, participants are invited to check out Dax’s impressive collection of toys with useful infos about ethical (or non-ethical) producers\, prices\, and how to spot errors.

SUMMARY:CNC
DESCRIPTION:Many of us are familiar with the concept of consensual nonconsent (CNC): a scenario where the folks involved agree to play that may appear nonconsensual. This can look like anything from using a safeword so “no” doesn’t mean “stop\,” to roleplaying being made to do things you “don’t want\,” to scenes with enacted violence like forced entry or kidnapping. \nWith such a wide range of things that can fall under CNC\, individual approaches may vary wildly. In this class we will discuss how to negotiate for CNC and create the container for play. We will also cover what it can look like to push boundaries on purpose\, and how that can feel as either a top or a bottom\, as well as risk mitigation and managing self image as folks oriented towards this kind of play.

SUMMARY:Slow Heat: A Summer Solstice Ritual
DESCRIPTION:Entering summer\, the time of hope and action\, you are invited to slow and enter this season with consent from yourself in how you go about that. With the Sun as our ally\, we will magic and play with pace\, momentum and illuminating (what the Sun does best!) our desires. \nA guided rope or alternative play/movement practice will be a part of this ritual. \nThis ritual is experiential. Everything is truly optional and will be explained along the way.

SUMMARY:Einstein\, Newton\, and Archimedes walk in to a dungeon
DESCRIPTION:Physics is in all of our play\, whether we know it or not and whether we understand it or not. From the forces involved in rope suspensions\, to the difference of elastic and inelastic collision in impact play\, from the torque of a fucking machine\, to the thermodynamics of body fluids: why not use these principles to our advantage? Can we use them to enhance our experiences? Of course we can! \nIn this class we won’t solve equations (unless you are into it). But we will cover \n\nNewton’s laws (I\, II\, & III)\nArchimedes’ principle of leverage\nFriction and pressure\nA bit of fluid dynamics (Bernoulli)\nA bit of thermodynamics\n\nas applied to the most common kinky activities with a focus on rope bondage. \nThis class is hybrid\, that means\, we will have tickets for in-house participants as well as virtual participants. All participants get access to the recording of the class for 14 days after the class. \nFor any questions\, please feel free to reach out to us.
