| Ain't Nothing But a Chicken Wing (Sadistic Partials) | with Alicia and Bryan T-Corn | Partials are often overlooked in the bondage scene but we think they can create some of the most interactive, mean, and playful scenes.

| Distinctly Emotional: Creating Dynamic Scenes | with SirKnottyDan | Are you or your partner stuck doing the same thing every time you tie? Are you lacking creativity and inspiration? Stuck in a rut? Do you want to know the SECRET to taking your partner on a journey, how to create intimacy, excitement, and adventure that makes them weak in the knees and longing for more? This class is about creating a scene that doesn't just put rope on a body, it shows you how to think about all of the elements that create a dynamic scene. We will break down the SEVEN PILLARS of SCENE DEVELOPMENT and give you detailed information on what each part entails. We will discuss how to use one of the most overlooked tools in your toolbox, one that most people fail to see. This tool can help you to interact with your partner, increase intimacy and really convey to your partner that you are in charge.

| Exposure and Closure | with Lief and Icarus | Have you looked at a photo of a person exposed in rope? Have you wanted to get someone to that vulnerable spot or how it must feel like to be that vulnerable? In this class we will explore the physical and psychological ins and outs of exposure rope on the ground. How to tie exposing rope, how can we create these spaces of trust, and how can we begin to open up to more intense scenes of exposure. And once we have taken someone apart, how do we put them back together? In this class we will also discuss ways of aftercare and healing for exposure rope. | Materials needed: Rope - 8 to 12 hanks of jute or hemp. Please do not bring any suspension gear, this intensive will be all floor work. Jute is the best for working with clothes and hemp as a close second. You can use synthetic fiber ropes however, I cannot vouch for how it will hold with clothing. Clothes - Costume changes will be encouraged as we explore exposure during the intensive. Please have nearby anything like shirts, pants, dresses, skirts, blazers,or lingerie that you can part with if ripped or cut. Accessories such as shoes, scarves, bandanas, panty hose, etc. are welcome too. The more you bring, the more we can play with. Cutting Tool - Make sure you bring a cutting tool for safety.

DO NOT COME TO CLASS WITHOUT THIS. This class will have demo and tie-along portions.

Like a preschooler with a box of crayons we are going to color outside the lines. We are going to explore ways to incorporate play back into our rope so that we can connect our partners in the moments.
