Don’t fear the brat—friction & power struggle can be the secret ingredient for creating thrilling, juicy scenes.
About this Event

This class is for the brats - and those who love them. Here, resistance isn’t a problem to solve, but the spark that brings your scenes to life. In this dynamic workshop, we’ll explore how friction fuels excitement, why playful challenges are the lifeblood of thrilling k!nk, and how true power lies in harnessing desire and directing attention. In the end, it's not about who gets their way but the chaos that is unleashed along the way! Together, we’ll practice reading reactions, negotiating bratty pl@y, and transforming every “punch in the face - freeze” moment into a graceful dance, deeper connection, and fun. Get ready to dive into the dance of resistance, getting unstuck during power struggles, and discover how joyful clashes can lead to the most memorable, satisfying scenes.

💡 What We’ll Explore:

🌀 The Dance of Resistance: Explore how resistance can elevate tension, fueling powerful scenes full of energy and excitement.

⚔️ Power Struggles: Learn to embrace clashes as opportunities, moving energy instead of fighting against it, and finding the fun in the struggle.

🎭 Taming the Brat: Handle button-pushers with skill, turning bratful defiance into a dynamic, connected experience of mutual energetic satisfaction.

💬 Negotiating Bratty Scenes: Ensure alignment by setting clear expectations, so both parties feel fulfilled and surprises don’t derail the fun.

🔄 Getting Unstuck: Master strategies to break through stalemates and reignite the flow of power when things feel stuck.

We are having a 2-part evening of indulgence and learning. Come for the workshop and stay for the Jam to practice what you learned and meet other like-minded folks!

Jam After the Workshop:

A Jam session is a practice-based gathering where we focus on applying what you learned in the workshop or know within the context of the curriculum. The Jam is tailored to the interests of the students and may involve live demonstration scenes, guided practice time, and other applications of class material. Opt to engage to your comfort level or simply observe and learn. This is not a hookup-style event and the focus is on practice (Non Sex-Based).

Please Acknowledge:
It should go without saying, but we are going to spell it out clearly nonetheless: k¡nk and intimacy activities are inherently risky. Safety requires practice and cannot be guaranteed. By attending, you agree to participate at your own risk, conduct your own risk management, and agree to hold the event facilitators and facility harmless for any type of physical or emotional harm that may occur.
