How well do you know your body? Frequently, within kink, intimacy, and body-based practices, this question comes up. It is not a prerequisite to know everything, as part of the play is discovering exactly this; however, if we wish to be intentional and caring within the plays and practices we participate in, what foundational knowledge might support us?
In this workshop, Caritia will guide participants through an empowerment-centred space to explore bodies — your own and those of your cohorts — and to (re)discover movement, bodily awareness, and what these mean for you and your play. Together, participants will investigate how bodies communicate, respond, compensate, resist, soften, and connect through movement and touch.
Through solo, partnered, and group-based exploration, participants will build greater body agency and self-knowledge, learning to recognise personal limits, habits, strengths, tensions, and desires. Caritia will offer practical tips and tricks on body mechanics, weight-sharing, posture, mobility, and the interconnection between our bodies and the bodily presence of others.
Participants can expect to leave with tools for more intentional movement in rope and play, increased confidence in noticing and responding to their own bodies, and a deeper understanding of how collaborative learning and embodied awareness can enrich intimacy, trust, communication, care, and creativity.
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.
