Rope to Enhance your Play
Friday May 30 _____ time
Rope. Flesh. Control. In this workshop, Parker RopeBoi & Juniper Quinn will share some of their favorite sexy and sadomasochistic tricks for using rope to enhance a sexy scene. Rope is a versatile tool that can be used to move and manipulate a partner's body, or restrain someone in a particular position. Rope can produce a variety of sensations from gentle to rough and from sensual to torturous. Workshop will include an example demonstration of negotiation and communication for a rope scene that will address risks and safety issues.
No prior rope experience needed. All experience levels welcome!
You can attend this workshop solo or with a partner. Participation in any parts of the workshop is entirely optional and should be done only with full, ongoing consent.
Some hands-on parts of the workshop are most effective with a partner. If you attend solo, you are welcome to try to partner up with another solo participant in the workshop. You also can just observe instead of doing the hands-on activities, if you prefer.
Tickets per person: $___ + processing fees

Hogties for Every Body
Sat May 30, TIME
This hands-on rope workshop will cover hogties that can be adjusted to various body geometries, different ranges of mobility/flexibility, and personal preferences.
Participants in this workshop will learn to tie hogties step-by-step, learning details of tension and placement. People being tied will learn how to determine which hogtie variations are best for your body. People tying will learn how to gauge and adjust a hogtie to be most suitable for a tying partner's specific body. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and get feedback.
Applications of the ties in rope floorwork will be demonstrated.
You can attend this workshop with or without a partner.
If you are seeking a workshop partner, there will be an opportunity (though no guarantees) to pair up with someone else at the start of the workshop.
Observers are welcome.

Predicament Play
Sat May 30, TIME
In predicament play, we use creative tools and techniques to create a set of nefarious parameters and challenging choices. The person in the predicament is faced with choosing among different incentives or disincentives, to lean into one sensation and pull away from another. Predicaments tend to involve a choice between "rock and a hard place"--a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" dilemma--while trying to figure a way out (even when there's probably no way out--just a choice between one trap and another).
Predicaments can involve a slow-burn, building up of intensity, from something that is set in motion initially as relatively sustainable but then becomes more difficult/painful/overwhelming over the ensuing seconds and minutes. Predicament play often appeals to our creative, quirky, and even ridiculous sides, bringing out our inner mad-scientist sadists & James Bond escape artists. A predicament could be as complex as a Rube Goldberg machine--or as simple as being made to stand on one leg until that becomes untenable. In this workshop,
Parker and Juniper will demonstrate several real live predicament play scenes to show different techniques and inspire your own explorations with predicament play.
Attendees will learn general strategies and specific techniques for designing and engineering predicament scenes, including how to adjust those plans for your and your partners' unique individual goals, preferences, limits, bodies, and physical/mental/emotional capacities.
Attendees will learn about risks, safety, and risk mitigation. We'll share ideas for how to plan and negotiate a predicament scene, and skills for how to calibrate and adjust a predicament mid-scene. We will show some of our favorite tips and tricks, including some nefarious uses of everyday and unconventional items.
