Tickets
Roleplaying is a powerful opportunity for evoking emotions and characters from inside us or invoking personas for an evening of fun. For a variety of individuals on mental health adventures, this amazing tool can be used for more than erotic naughtiness or delight or find themselves challenged by the journeys they take.
Individuals dancing with depression exploring roles that let them “fake it ‘til you make it.” People with dissociative identity disorder using an opportunity to have a personality “front” in an agreed upon space. Folks living with anxiety finding safety in pre-set roles where protection roles are at play. These are but a few places where role-playing… or role-being in certain cases… can be used.
In this class we will creatively brainstorm how individuals with an array of mental health challenges and differences can thrive using roles and personas in kink and roleplay contexts, while also acknowledging that things can also go wrong in roleplay because of our past trauma, triggers, and non-disclosed mental health realities. Let’s build understanding, help each other explore, and have partners look at their role in these opportunities for play and beyond.
What we will teach/do
- Explore the definitions of Role-Playing compared to Role-Being
- Find both minor and major differences between playing a role and sharing a part of ourselves in a roleplaying context
- Discover ways to tap into these roles, parts of self, and identities, as well as how to exit those head spaces
- Share tools for what to do if things go “sideways” and to reduce the likelihood of such concerns taking place
- Consider systems of aftercare and connection that can aid in grounding concerning role-playing and role-being scenes.

More Information
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.
Friends describe people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer space and its marginalized community.
When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender-straight privileges.
Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
