With demonstrations and discussion, we explore the sharper side of what is
sometimes misunderstood as the lighter side of BDSM. We look at
practicalities, possible pitfalls, but ultimate potential of the edges of
roleplay including resistance, humiliation, taboo, 24/7 roles, cruelty and
more. With an emphasis on RACK principles we will give practical examples on
how to set the scene, form dynamics, play with the edge and finally come out
of the role (or not) and provide aftercare. We discuss safer practices for
playing around the boundaries of what roleplay can do, demonstrate how to be
creative with dynamics and scenes, how to communicate and give
safewords/expressions in challenging circumstances, how to explore difficult
emotions, how to edge roleplay in groups and more.

About the presenters:

Estrella & j
Estrella is a fierce empathic genderqueer femme Top who has lived and
breathed BDSM for 25 years. She has presented widely for local and national
organizations. She is happily poly, and enjoys strong, vibrant relationships
with a number of wonderful people, including a brilliant artist as primary
partner. In kink, Estrella is happiest with a willing masochistic bottom
firmly in hand. She enjoys wielding a wide variety of implements, but her
favorite is her mind.

j is a queer, femme-identified submissive with over a decade of experience
as a performer, activist, author and workshop leader, presenting for the
likes of IMSL, Exiles, SM Dykes Manchester, Wish International and more.

BDSM workshops. She is half of MWxj, an education collaboration with Rebecca
Wilcox and co-organizer of the Wish PowerExchange Summer Camp and
performance/community space Wotever Stockholm
