  • TES Writers Group: It Takes Brain To Make The Words Go

    The Players Theater, Studio 3A 115 Macdougal Street, New York, NY, United States

    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.

  • TES Presents: So You Wanna Host A Munch, moderated by Zero

    The Alchemical, Studio C 104 west 14th street, New York, NY, United States

    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! *Source: The Loving Dominant, 3rd Ed, by John and Libby Warren, Greenery Press, 2008

  • TES Presents: Everything But The Kitchen Kink- Combining Different Forms of Play to Create Unique Scenes, with Zero

    Electro-needles!?! Knife wrestling!?! Fire stomping!?! Combining multiple forms of play can be a great way to create unique and memorable scenes, break out of stale routines, and get more out the toys already in your toy bag. It also introduces new risks and novel challenges. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to approach combining different forms of play, mitigate the risks, and learn to make the familiar new again! Zero Fälschung is a sadistic dominant with a love of rough body play, knives, rope, whips, and more. He is also a TES Board Member, and Chair of the Socials and DM Committees, and will be serving as Chair of Safety for the third year in a row at TES Fest 2019.
