<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#0070C0'>The next “BDSM
from Top to Bottom – Exiles New Member Orientation” is coming up
soon! We need volunteers to make it happen! Can anyone help
out? <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#C00000'>Also – please tell your
friends who are not (yet) members…. This is a great opportunity to have
lots of fun while becoming eligible to join the club. Membership is not a
requirement to volunteer! <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#C00000'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#C00000'>(I believe Narrator and
Experienced Bottom both need to be filled members. YMMV, but as “Orientation
wrangler” this time, this is the decision I made </span></b><b><span
style='font-family:Wingdings;color:#C00000'>J</span><span style='color:#C00000'>)</span><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>When and Where: June 4<sup>th</sup>, MCCSF on Eureka near
18<sup>th</sup>. Volunteers should aim to arrive by 7:00 pm sharp,
especially if coming by car. We will be done by ~9:30 pm.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Volunteer needs:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:red'>1 person for Admin – important
responsible job</span> <span style='color:red'>(still needed!!) </span><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Running door – taking $$ - getting waivers signed
– collecting membership forms at the end and passing to Orientation
Wrangler (me this time)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>4-6 people for speaking roles. There is a script to
follow; improvisation is allowed and encouraged.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:red'>Narrator – Arguably the
most important role</span> <span style='color:red'>(still needed!!)</span></b>.
This person welcomes folks; explains definitions; bridges the skits; explains,
using a volunteer, the safe places to hit (not demo); pulls it all together.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Acting part 1 – Experienced Bottom <span
style='color:#7030A0'>(filled)</span></b>. Acts in every skit; bottoms to
“Pick-up Top” in a short ~5-minute demo scene. Should be
played by a real experienced player as this person needs to explain from a
place of knowledge (ostensibly to Newbie Top but really to the audience)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Acting part 2 – Newbie Top <span style='color:#7030A0'>(filled)</span></b>.
Acts in almost every skit. Can be played by a person with almost any
level of experience. Should have some experience in order to understand
what questions to “ask”. This role does not have any play in
the skits, so need not be played by an actual Top.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Acting part 3 – Pick-up Top <span style='color:
#7030A0'>(filled)</span></b>. Negotiates with, and then Tops, Experienced
Bottom in a short ~5-minute demo scene.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Acting parts 4-6 – DM (1 skit) <span
style='color:#7030A0'>(filled)</span>; Flexible Switch (1 skit) <span
style='color:red'>(still needed)</span>; Obnoxious Top (1 skit) <span
style='color:red'>(still needed)</span>. </b>These roles could also be
played by Narrator if need be. <b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>(Optional) Shadow Players (1-2 pairs of actors) – play
out a series of very short scenes watched and described by Experienced Bottom
and Newbie Top<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Other things to know about the roles: </b>Pick-up Top and
Experienced Bottom need to be willing to play with each other. It helps
if you already have chemistry. (These roles are filled for the upcoming
Orientation.) To do “shadow play”, you need to have a partner to do
it with. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:red'>To volunteer,
please contact me off-list. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please also note, any member can attend Orientation for
free, whether or not you volunteer. The program is interactive, and we enjoy
having lots of members there to lend their experience, knowledge and personal points
of view to the discussion.<o:p></o:p></p>
