To play with interrogation is a fantasy of many but to realize it can be difficult without knowing where to start, what to look for in terms of ideas, safety, negotiation, and much more. In this Interrogation class, we will introduce the participants to the idea of playing with simple scenes that can be relatively easily prepared and executed. We will cover a large variety of possibilities to…
Intro to suspensions builds the foundations for a wide variety of skills beyond the basics. In 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…
Want to take your impact play to the next level? Maybe you’re looking for creative ways to push yourself as both a top and a bottom? Join Dusty to cover one of his favourite topics! In this class we will discuss intermediate level impact play, including: heavy impact, improvised implements, fists/knees, and safety considerations. In the first part of class we will cover all the theoretical…
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. In a safe environment, participants can challenge themselves and each other to fight with each other in a playful and joyful way. Not winning but…
Good scenes don't just happen. They start with a conversation. This class explores the often-overlooked art of pre-scene negotiation: talking about what we want, what we're curious about, what we're not interested in, and what we might need, to feel comfortable exploring together. We'll look at consent as something more nuanced than simply asking “is this okay?” and explore how to have…
Anomalies is a weekend gathering with the aim of exploring what else is out there in kink, intimacy, relationship, and sexuality. What perspectives can we find if we deviated from the usual conference style where selected and often (semi-)professional presenters offer contents that repeat itself? What can we learn if we democratized that selection of content and presenters? What experiences may…
Turn out the lights, and let the world disappear. For this shibari experience, we’ll make the studio as dark as possible, and then we’ll tie. When you can’t see the rope, you have to feel it. When you can’t watch the movement, you have to pay attention to it. This is shibari stripped of the visual: an invitation to explore touch, tension, communication and sensation in the dark. Take the…
The sidearm flick is, in Andi's opinion, one of the most variable and diverse whip techniques in interpersonal play. Once mastered, it allows you to explore a wide range of variations in distance, intensity and target areas. And even before that we'll cover save(r) ways to start (almost) directly in engaging playfully with your consenting partner person as this is intended to be a couples…
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…

A workshop for rope folks with the desire to implement the (potentially) supersonic element into their rope play. This workshop explores a playful yet technical approach to combining two vastly different elements of BDSM with their distinct approaches and every exercise is designed to scale from beginner (whip) level to already experienced whip handlers. Logistics: - 7 pairs only! Tickets are per…
