2018-06-18 19:00 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | The Player’s Theatre, 115 Macdougal Street, New York, NY, 10012, United States
Do you know a thing or two about dungeon safety? Have you had a less than perfect experience with a DM at a party and thought, “I can do better”? Maybe you just have a fetish for neon-yellow traffic vests? If you answered yes to any of these questions, please join us for our live training workshops on at the Players Theatre, 115 MacDougal St, on
Monday June 11th, 7 – 10PM Studio 3B,
and
Monday June 18th, 7 – 10PM Studio 3C
These workshops are intended to supplement our online training found here, and are free to anyone who has successfully completed the unit “DM 101”. All others are welcome to join us at our standard class rates. Please note that, due to time constraints, we will not be able to more than a quick review of the materials covered online.
In combination with our online training, these workshops are designed as a comprehensive introduction to DMing, and will cover everything you need to know to get started DMing at TES events and TES Fest. Experienced DMs are invited to attend as a refresher and to share their wisdom with others.
Our DM Training Workshop will consist of two parts:
Play Safety & Scene Vetting Forum-
In this knowledge share session, we will discuss safety considerations for various types of play you are likely to encounter as a DM. Attendees are invited to bring their personal experience and expertise as we analyze what to look for in different types of scenes, what to prioritize, and how best to ensure scenes are in harmony with event rules.
Scenario Roleplay and Discussion Lab-
In this section, we will roleplay various situations you may encounter as a DM, many derived for real-life incidents. Attendees will take turns acting out different scenarios, each followed by a brief discussion and constructive critique to determine the best course of action for similar situations in the future.

TES Hypnokink Group:Pickup Play in Hypnokink with Mr. Dream
2018-06-20 19:30 - 22:30 | The Player’s Theatre, 115 Macdougal Street, New York, NY, 10012, United States
With TESFest 2018 coming in July, there will be a lot of opportunities to meet new people who are interested in playing with hypnosis.[a] Practicing hypnosis with someone new offers unique challenges and opportunities. The idea of pickup play is often considered a risky scenario for hypnokink, but in many cases it is the first step in developing the play partnerships we are looking for. This class will discuss some approaches to having scenes with new partners, whether there is an existing relationship, or truly a first meeting. Topics covered will include:
How to introduce the idea of hypnosis to a prospective partner
Negotiation for limited scenes
Best practices for safety and consent
What to expect from the subject/hypnotist
Simple induction techniques for a new partner
In addition we will spend time practicing hypnosis in our Speed Trance/Date format: Each participant will have 6 minutes to negotiate and conduct a simple scene with someone who they don’t normally play. Note: No one is obligated to trance or be tranced in any given round. You can always have a nice conversation.

Improving Your Rope Technique, with Andra Poloutropon
2018-08-07 19:00 - 22:00 | The Players Theater, Studio 2D, 115 Macdougal Street, New York, NY, 10012, United States
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. I emphasize that 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 & a partner.
Please join us for Andra Poloutropon’s last time scheduled for TES by Gigi as Chair of Programming and Education!
Note: this room requires removal of shoes to protect the floor.

Novice and Newcomers Group: Sensual Domination, with Spike and mj
2018-08-15 19:00 - 22:00 | The Players Theater, Studio 3B, 115 Macdougal Street, New York, NY, 10012, United States
The definition of “sensual” is 1. affecting any of the senses; and 2. relating to gratification of the physical and especially the sexual appetites. Sensual domination encompasses both aspects of the definition, controlling sensations in a sexually charged way. Melding elements of hypnosis, bondage, mind-fuck, touch, sensation play, knife play, percussive play and the sense to tune in to what works for the submissive, Spike creates erotic and fulfilling scenes for himself and his partner.
This class geared for the beginner to intermediate BDSM practitioner but everyone could find something of use here. This class is taught in conjunction with Spike’s partner MJ.
Short description: Melding elements of hypnosis, bondage, mind-fuck, touch, sensation play, knife play, percussive play and the sense to tune in to what works for the submissive, Spike creates erotic and fulfilling scenes for himself and his partner.
Bio:

He is a reaction junkie and enjoys administering pain as part of his sensation play. Richard is an emeritus board member of Long Island Leather ‘n Roses (LILNR), a facilitator of Long Island Rope Revival (LIRR) and a volunteer for The Eulenspiegel Society (TES).

Shenanigans and Fuckery - Escape from This One! with Jakal
2018-08-22 19:00 - 22:00 | The Players Theater, Studio 3B, 115 Macdougal Street, New York, NY, 10012, United States
Welcome everyone! Jakal here, with a class that will teach you the basics for creating inescapable ties. Have you ever tried to tie up your friend, partner, cousin, stuffie, kitchen chair, etc just to see if they can get out of it? If you like rope, I bet you have tried this once or twice. I bet you were frustrated if that person was able to escape as well… HAVE NO FEAR! I am here to teach you how to create ties that will have the escape artist in your life cussing up a storm. Hope to see you there! ( This class is intended for partners, but we may have one for you. People should bring 3 – 30 foot hanks of rope or what ever size you like to tie with, we will have some for you if you don’t have any, and a good imagination.
Presenter Bio:
Greetings! Jakal here! I love to teach and extend my knowledge onto others as well as learn new things myself. I pride myself on being approachable almost all of the time so please feel free to come chat. I mainly teach about fire & wax, rope, and rough body play, but have started creating fun games for the kink community as well!
As an instructor, I have been teaching kink related materials for about 4 years, and I have just started outwardly seeking more events to teach at. However, I have been teaching people the knowledge in my head for about 15 years. I love to teach people new concepts and ideas regardless of the platform. As a player, I have been doing rope for about 10 years, fire for about 8 years, and rough body play for about 8 years. I also have a bit of marital arts experience as well. I took Taekwondo for about 6 years and I am trained in Army combatives level 1 and 2.
I teach completely unconventionally most of the time. I am not the person that enjoys step one, step two, step three, etc. I love to think outside the box on new ways things can be done, especially if it doesn’t require as much safety as suspension ties and intricate fire play do. I do like to do an extensive amount of research on things that I like to do though, and if I don’t have an answer for students in the class I generally have a good idea of where to find it. Of course rough body play, fire play, and rope can be dangerous, much like anything else that we all love to do, so I go over safety precautions for everything that we will be doing.

TES Hypnokink Group - Hypnosis Basics For Kinksters: Tops, Bottoms & Switches
2018-08-29 19:30 - 22:30 | The Player’s Theatre, 115 Macdougal Street, New York, NY, 10012, United States
What is Hypnosis? How is it kinky? How do you express yourself in BDSM with Hypnosis? Three experienced Hypnokinksters will help unravel the basics of exploring hypnosis and kink with partners, whether you are a subject, hypnotist or some combination. Demonstrations of inductions and how they may be modified to suit the roles of the participants, guidance on negotiation, and ways to care for your partner will help illuminate how to bring hypnosis into your kinky play.
Whether you identify as a top or a bottom, a dominant or a submissive, no matter what your experience is, we hope to bring you new information from different perspectives. Creativity, awareness, responsiveness, and an open mind are all ingredients to great intimate hypnotic play, whether sexual, kinky, or just part of shared extraordinary experiences. MrDream, PerfectMonster and GleefulAbandon look forward to helping you add this wonderful toy to your kinky toy bag.
—
MrDream has practiced intimate hypnosis from all sides of the watch for many years, and has been teaching others to play with care, caution, consent and communication since 2010. He is an organizer and presenter of hypnokink classes and events, including the Deepmind Darkwood erotic hypnosis retreat as well as the TES Hypnokink Group. He is also the founder of the League of Ethical Evil Hypnotists. Muahahahaha.
PerfectMonster (you can call her Pinky!) is a sadomasochistic, quirky, poly, queer kinkster and hypnotic switch who has been involved with BDSM (publicly and privately) for more than 15 years. Pinky brings her comprehension and experience from both sides of the flogger to her ever growing knowledge of erotic hypnosis. She has presented at various conferences including Charmed!, NEEHU, and TES Fest, and is the newest co-facilitator of the TES Hypnosis SIG. If you’re ever looking for Pinky, just follow the trail of bubbles
GleefulAbandon is a hypnofetishist, submissive, and queer (in multiple senses of the word). After nearly six amazing years in the Scene so far, she is constantly thrilled by the wonderful people and weird experiences (and vice versa) that she encounters. She is an active volunteer for TES as Media Representative.

2018-09-05 19:30 - 22:00 | NY
There are several types of pressure points – each is
applied differently and each creates a different sensation.
“”Pain points””, for example, use tendons, ligaments, and
muscles – the goal is to temporarily immobilize the target.
With minimal effort, learn how to deliver maximum pain
and torment using just your fingers, turning them into
Fingers of Death!
Ramon is an active member of the NYC BDSM scene, and is involved
with various organizations including The Eulenspiegel Society (TES),
where he is a Board member as well as a class presenter. In his spare
time, Ramon designs and fabricates custom metal BDSM equipment
and furniture. He particularly enjoys rope bondage, fire play, single tails,
and making pretty girls cry.

So You’ve got an idea for a peice. Maybe its a character. Maybe its the ending. Maybe it’s a specific phrase that you can’t get out of your head. But what about the rest of it? Join The TES Writer’s group for a discussion on how to take that first thread and make a full, cohesive peice worthy of that seed of inspiration. Optional Assignment Due: The Missing Piece- Write the crescendo of a story- but only the crescendo. No back story, no explanation, only the climax, no context, as if you flipped to that page and pulled it out of a book.

Back in the early ’90s, a group on alt.sex.bondage decided to meet offline at a burger joint in Palo Alto, California. The result was the first “”Burgermunch””, later shortened to “”munch””.* Since then, the munch has become a mainstay of alternative sexuality communities, often serving as the entry point for many newcomers. So what does it take to start and run a munch? Join our panel of veteran munch hosts and organizers as we talk about finding friendly venues, dealing with attendees, navigating scene politics, and more!

Optional Homework Assignment: Someone is talking to themselves- write what they are saying.
