About
Movement is a crucial aspect of any play dynamic. It’s used for rearranging the body, or moving someone from the bed to the floor. In this workshop we will look at the practicalities of moving the body as well as the story which is conveyed through the quality of touch.
The techniques and content can be used for all types of play in the dungeon or in the bedroom, but we will be using some simple rope techniques to contain the body.
Movement should be empowering and add to the scene and not just a fumbled attempt that pulls you out of the headspace. Keep the mood of the scene while transitioning through different parts of your scene by Understanding a person’s range of motion and the intensity of touch as well as tempo timing and rhythm.
Who is it for?
This workshop is designed for couples, duos, play-partners, and kinksters interested in exploring movement as a dynamic element in their play. While rope techniques will be incorporated, the focus is not solely on bondage—it’s about understanding how to move and manipulate the body in a way that enhances the scene.
Whether you’re a beginner couple looking to deepen your connection or an advanced kink professional such as a Pro Dom, this workshop offers valuable insights into the art of movement, helping you maintain intensity and flow throughout your play.

Dresscode
You have the freedom to choose attire that resonates with you and feels comfortable, although for practical reasons, it’s advisable to steer clear of anything too strappy, fussy, or loose. To avoid discomfort, it’s recommended to skip underwired bras, as they may dig into the ribs. If in doubt, yoga clothes can serve as a practical and comfortable default option. – It is pleasantly warm in our Playroom because of the floor heating.
Rope
Ropes are available to purchase during the evening.
