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: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: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 care they deserve: rope making and maintenance gathering
DESCRIPTION:Our ropes are doing a lot. They hold tight\, get bent in all directions\, get tied in knots and frictions. They are exposed to sweat and tears and other things while making sure that nobody drops. So\, let’s give them the bit of love and care they deserve. \nThe evening is there for people to sit together and chat about what our ropes have already seen. Let’s give them the warmth of a flame and the coolness of jojoba oil. Let’s get the uneven tensions of individual fibres back in place and even out the ends. \nWith tips and tricks from our rope maintenance expert Daremo and materials needed to care for our tools\, we will spend the evening together to give our ropes the love they deserve and extend their lifespan. \nAnd for the crafty folks: We will be making some ropes. Bring jute twine if you would like to have your own rope.

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: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.

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: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:F*** this! A guided dissociation with ropes
DESCRIPTION:While a lot of thought and energy and practice and so on and so forth can be put into tying\, we are also all facing challenges in our everyday lives that are less and less bearable. Ropes can also be used to forget about all that shit out there\, all the fascism\, the economy\, the obliteration of human rights\, the climate\, and everything else that is bleak. It’s not a failure to just want to stop for just a moment.  \nIn this guided dissociation\, we will be building a palace in our minds and with our ropes. We will meander through gardens and participate in lustful banquets\, we will fly over landscapes and meet with creatures who we might want to engage with or just watch from a distance. \nIn this journey\, narrated and guided by Barkas\, participants are invited to turn their brains off for a couple hours\, take a rope and either on themselves or with someone else\, just escape into a fantastic world.  \nDisclaimer: We acknowledge that dissociation can amount to a condition that causes sever pressure and suffering for individuals. This experience is NOT a mockery or a belittling of the mental health conditions associated with dissociation. We ask participants to listen to their own needs and boundaries and provide mental health first aid as well as a quiet area to retreat.

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: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.

SUMMARY:Take my breath away
DESCRIPTION:Breathing is overrated. And breathing is underrated. Playing with the breath of your partner can be absolutely mind-blowing and titillating. In this class we make sure that a) you do it with the necessary safety precautions and b) have fun with it. \nThere are definitely too many myths and semi-true infos about breath play out there and getting the education about it from a professional ultimately makes it better. \nWe will be bringing\, amongst other things\, dental floss\, gas masks and a chess set\, gloves (black latex and leather)\, one of those cheap plastic shower caps from a hotel bathroom…. straight jacket masks\, a cattle prod\, a stick of some kind\, and a mouth spreader. Also a clean handkerchief and maybe a pocket cpr mask.

SUMMARY:Touch Me Hold Me Let Me Go
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores breath\, impulse\, voice and movement through a somatic algorithm called Touch Me Hold Me Let Me Go\, developed by Lee Su-Feh from years of research and practice as a choreographer and teacher of voice and movement.   \nTouch Me Hold Me Let Me Go helps you speak and move from a place of support and ease. It is a tool to practice making requests and stating boundaries from an embodied place. Participants can expect to roll around on and off the floor; tune in to their breath and voice; and explore consent and permission around touch. Embedded in the work is ongoing attention to pain and injury\, as well as permission to rest. Pleasure and care will be our compass in this work. At Studio Allegory\, this workshop will be followed by a conversation with Georg Barkas about its applications in rope play.  \n  \nTMHMLMG is \nAn algorithm for dancing with the planet. \nAn algorithm for dancing with your beloved. \nAn algorithm for dancing from enough-ness. \nTo practice love in the midst of distress\, \nTo practice care in the midst of distress

SUMMARY:Intro to Shibari - rope for sex
DESCRIPTION:Intro to Shibari is the first step for people interested in learning to tie with each other. \nThe emphasis of this course is to accompany the participants on their path into a joyful and safe practice of rope bondage\, Shibari/Kinbaku. We go through basic techniques\, knots & frictions\, safety and consent\, movement\, communication\, and artistic representation. Participants will be able to tie with each other in a joyful and interesting way. We understand each class as directed at both\, the person in ropes as well as the person tying. \nThis 5th Friday of the month we look at ropes that we can use for sexual encounters. We cover: \n\npractical\, simple\, and useful patterns\nefficient and smooth movement on the ground\nqueering sex. It doesn’t have to be P in V!\n\nThis class is for all constellations (solo\, pair\, trios\, etc). Individual participants can tie all patterns on themselves or pair up with others IF comfortable.

SUMMARY:Sense and Sensation
DESCRIPTION:The intimate games of how it feels. It? – that depends. Can you see it? Can you hear it? Can you smell it? Or do you just have the sensation of something on your skin. You may not know where it comes next and how long it will be. \n\n\n\nIn this class\, we will take the participants on a journey to explore various ways of playing with sensations. 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. An additional 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.

SUMMARY:Bad at being bad
DESCRIPTION:For those who’d love to be a little more bratty\, bold\, or in charge… but keep apologizing halfway through. \nSo you want to tease\, resist\, take control\, or be just a bit of a menace-but every time you try\, it comes out… polite? Slightly awkward? Followed by an immediate “sorry”? Perfect. You’re exactly who this class is for. We’re not here to turn you into some flawlessly intimidating creature of the night. We’re here to explore the art of being just bad enough-through small shifts\, playful tension\, and the kind of energy that makes someone pause and go\, “oh.” \nExpect low-pressure exercises\, a healthy amount of awkwardness\, and plenty of space to experiment without needing to impress anyone (including yourself). \nNo experience required. Being a bit rubbish at this is\, in fact\, ideal. \nArtwork by: @mcmcdoodles
