$100/participant limit 6

In this three-hour (four?) workshop, we’ll cover a wide variety of concerns related to intermediate and advanced play. While most of the examples used for reference come from professional dominance, it is my intention that the information in this workshop broadly relates to more ambitious scenes, larger and longer scenes, and play spaces that service multiple users. We’ll look at challenges related to client/sub screening, technical safety issues, cleaning and sanitizing equipment, dungeon management, communication tips and mitigating client/sub expectation dynamics. We’ll also look at issues related to public play, multi-top play, emergency preparedness and other issues participants potentially bring to the group.

There will be a 15-minute break at the two-hour mark for bathroom & snacks.

Statement of Intent: This workshop is not intended to cover all bases, situations, types of play or equipment issues. It is designed primarily for Dommes and other tops and players who seek an overview of potential problems and solutions going forward in their career or personal play, to inspire safer thinking, communication and action. Neither is this workshop designed to mediate a past session mishap or to become a forum for grievance. If you have a specific issue you would like to see addressed, please contact me in advance.

The workshop format will include lecture, visual materials related to female dominance and BDSM, breakout groups for participant discussion, and opportunities for question/answer. You are welcome to use the class outline to take notes, but recording (either audio or visual) is strictly prohibited.

Closed captions will be available upon request.

Please note: Foundations for Intermediate and Advanced Play is a prerequisite for taking any of the 201- or 301-level online or in-person classes listed on this page.
