Join Efrain John Gonzalez for a look back at New York City since the 1980’s, when the old meatpacking district was packed with some of the kinkiest, sleaziest and craziest bars and one-of-a-kind underground clubs in Manhattan! Gonzo will show you the vanished underground clubs and vaults, illustrating their stories and legends with personal photographs, taken in places famous and infamous, and discuss the impact and activism that grew out of such storied spaces. See such wild and forbidden places like the infamous “Hellfire” club, that got great reviews by John Waters; The gay men’s club “Lure”; or “Mother”, an innovative over-the-top social club on 14th street that held a multitude of music, performance, Goth, queer, transgender, cross-dressing and fantasy events. Witness the recorded life and underground cultures that were part of New York City’s secret and forbidden history; wild, kinky, gender queer and now displaced, and the impact they’ve had on the city today.
Efrain John Gonzalez is a photographer who’s talents with a camera bend to the unusual, the erotic, the unique, the wild and slightly crazy, from the world of body modifications to the universe of radical S&M. An internationally published photographer, for the past 30 years Gonzalez has been seeking real life images that tells a story of people finding the path to their souls, finding their bliss, with piercing, branding, cuttings, tattoos, latex, implants, leather, and a whole lot of radical sex and sexuality. He seeks people who see their bodies as a blank canvas, and allow their imaginations and dreams to come to life upon a living canvas. Whether that canvas be painted with ink, pierced and molded by blade, or covered in latex and leather. What the artist tries to tell us through his lens is the idea that these cultures are a natural outreach of the curious and exploration of the self by those chosen few who’s inner voices dare them to walk down forbidden paths to seek an inner truth.

Please note this Group class is restricted to attendees ages 18 – 35, and their guests.

They feel good, but why? Beyond the neurochemicals that are released during these activities, bondage, impact and sensation activities stimulate the “Cinderella” tissue in your body – fascia – and this stimulation creates a bunch of physiological reactions that can affect your body in a variety of ways. This same tissue can also be responsible for some of the symptoms of sub and Dom drop!
After covering a basic explanation of fascia, this workshop will explore different BDSM-based ways to stimulate the fascial system to improve its function and recovery. Stimulation happens for both the Top and the bottom depending on the activity, and healthy fascia is important for mobility, breathing, relief from back pain (as well as other aches and pains), proper pelvic floor function (think good sex for all genders) and it ties into your nervous and immune systems (among others). So come learn more about this important physiological part of kinky play, and how you can use it to your personal, and your partner’s, benefit!

Rope Group: Improving Your Rope Technique Masterclass, with AndraPoloutropon

This class will be taught using the “masterclass” format, but is open to students of all levels. For those unfamiliar with the format, a single student will get up and demonstrate something. The teacher provides feedback and ideas for improvement that not only that student, but the entire class can benefit from. This continues with successive students until the class ends.
The class is for all levels since beginners can often learn a great deal from challenges that more advanced students grapple with and advanced students may be surprised by how much they can learn from watching those less experienced. The subject matter of the class will be “technique.” This is a broad subject that will include style, tension, and numerous other technical aspects, but will not include “patterns.” Accordingly, critique will not be given on whether a pattern was tied “correctly,” but advice will be given based on the other technical elements of the tie and the method of applying the rope, while taking into account the student’s intent.
Please bring rope and a partner.
