Look for it to be rescheduled March 7th!

In 2011, Barkas started to develop his personal way of doing ropes, which was very stormy and overwhelming. His Sensei Osada Steve called it ranboo and since then, this way of doing ropes became one of the well-known styles in the world of kinbaku (Source)
This class provides an introduction to the key principles of Ranboo and several hands-on exercises to explore tying in this style. Please note that this may be a physically intense class for both the top and bottom.
Requirements:
3+ lengths of 25-30ft rope
Single column tie
KeepOnKeepinOn is a NYC based rope educator and kinkster. He has presented at national events across the US, such as TES Fest and Shibaricon, and at a variety of local events throughout North America. He has been interested in rope since 2013 when he first discovered kink. While interested in many disciplines of rope bondage, his style has been primarily influenced by his friend, mentor, and teacher: barkas. Outside of kink KeepOnKeepinOn has a deep interest in psychology, neuroscience and emerging technology. If you see him at an event, please stop by and say hello!

3rd Annual Fetish Workers Panel, moderated by ComtesseAurora
2018-02-06 19:30 - 22:00 | Alchemical Theatre Laboratory, 104 West 14th Street, New York, 10011, United States
One of the most misunderstood and under explored subgroups of the kink community is fetish workers. Slut shamed, expected to offer any and all kink and/or sexual services without prior negotiation, told they aren’t ‘real’ Doms or subs, and in various ways excluded from the general kink population, professional fetish workers have in the past not necessarily participated as openly in our society. In an effort to help bridge the chasm between fetish workers and non-professional kinksters, TES has gathered a panel of fetish workers to come speak about their experiences and answer questions.
Panelists include:

Elena de Luca
Hera Chevalier
Megan McCord

Come learn about the world of professional fetish workers, including:

Are fetish workers sex workers? What is the relationship between fetish work and sex work?
What to expect (and not expect!) when you hire a professional fetish worker
What challenges professional fetish workers face
Some stereotypes that our panelists have encountered over the years, which of them are false, and which of them are true
How our panelists started as fetish workers
What to look for (and what to to avoid) when looking for a professional fetish worker

TES Hypnokink Group Presents: Using Their Pleasure Against Them with sex-obsessed-lesbian
2018-01-31 19:30 - 22:00 | NY
You don’t need floggers or ropes to make someone beg for mercy, or to push all of your partners’ subbiest buttons. With some creativity (and maybe a little hypnosis), you can achieve all of these effects with pleasure as easily as you can with pain.
This class will touch on techniques for hypnotic pleasure, and their applications in teasing, predicaments, and power play—as well as, of course, some associated safety and consent practices. Come learn fun new ways to mess and be messed with!

2018-01-30 19:30 - 22:00 | The Player’s Theatre, 115 Macdougal Street, New York, NY, 10012, United States
Who said rope had to be all about being nice and sensual? This class focuses on nasty things you can do with rope to punish and manipulate your subject. Various Hojo Jitsu and western prisoner style ties and endurance positions will be explored – as well as positions designed to hold your subject in place so they don’t go anywhere as you administer their just rewards.

Rope Group: Talking with rope (Part 1), with KeepOnKeepinOn
2018-01-24 19:30 - 22:00 | The Alchemical, Studio A, 104 W 14th St, 3rd floor, New York, NY, 10011, United States
Constructed with the permission of barkas, this class is my own personal interpretation of the Rope Interview.
This class will explore rope as a means of power exchange. This does not necessarily mean power dynamic, power exchange can be as simple as the tying partner setting a tone of “I will tie you” and the tied partner agreeing to that tone, “I will let you tie me”. We will examine how to create, develop and maintain this exchange with rope through the metaphor of asking questions and an analysis of our own non-verbal signals. Students will learn how to pick up on their partner’s signals and discover how their own behaviors may be interpreted by their partner. We will utilize a variety of ippon-nawa (one rope) exercises and if time allows apply the concepts to a patterned tie. The class will consist of a brief discussion on the concepts central to the rope interview, a series of demonstrations and hands-on exercises.
Requirements:

4+ lengths of 25-30ft rope
Knowledge of single and double column ties, half hitches and munter hitches (students are encouraged to attend even if they do not know the ties, the instructors will walk around and assist during the exercises)
A partner with whom you are willing to engage in an exchange

TES' Annual Dirty Santa Gift Exchange- Exclusively at The Jolly Bloody Good Holiday Play Party
2017-12-23 22:00 - 23:00 | Parthenon Studios, 5 West 30th Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY, 10001, United States
It’s a TES tradition, and this year we will be holding our Dirty Santa (aka White Elephant) Gift Exchange at The Jolly Bloody Good Holiday Play Party at Parthenon on December 23rd. The fun starts at 10pm (so don’t worry, if your attending Novice & Newcomers Munch, we wont start without you)!
How to Play
To participate, all you need to do is bring a wrapped gift of no more than $25 in value. It can be anything: something kinky, something festive, something downright ridiculous (gag gifts are absolutely encouraged).
We will assemble all the wrapped gifts in a pile, then at 10pm we will draw names.
The first person called may pick any gift from the pile, unwrap it, and show everyone so we can ooh and ahh. That’s round #1.
The real fun begins with round #2. The second person called has the choice to unwrap a gift from the pile, or, they can choose to steal whatever was unwrapped by the first person and make them pick different gift from the pile to unwrap.
In round #3, the third person may steal either of the gifts already unwrapped or pick from the pile. If they steal a gift, the person they stole from can steal from the remaining person, or pick from the pile, and so on.
We’ll continue like this each round. If you have your gift stolen, you can steal any gift not already stolen that same round. A round ends when a new gift is unwrapped from the pile.
But what do you do if you unwrap that perfect present and want to keep it? Not to worry, for just $1/round you can purchase immunity for that round to keep any sneaky gift thieves from stealing (or stealing back) your gift! All the proceeds raised go to our FounderCare Committee!
About FounderCare
As TES nears its 50th year providing education and social opportunities to the kink community, and especially during this holiday season, our thoughts naturally turn to how it all began, and who began it. We owe a great debt to Pat Bond, Brother Leo, HMQ, and others who worked to build the foundations upon which TES rests today. Therefore, TES considers it a duty and a privilege to organize support for the aging members of our community to keep them involved with the organization that brings us all together today. Your contributions help make that possible. If you are interested in getting involved with FounderCare to reach out to older community members, please email Odile@tes.org.

TES Presents: The Jolly Bloody Good Holiday Play Party
2017-12-23 20:00 - 2017-12-24 20:00 | Parthenon Studios, 5 West 30th Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY, 10001, United States
Ah, the holidays… that time of year when we gather round the parlour to play games involving bowls of flaming fruits, when naughty children face beatings and kidnappings from Germanic folk demons, and when we all hope we’re the lucky one to find the glass pickle. Sound strange? Well that’s how things were done back in the Victorian Age, and on December 23rd, TES is taking you back to that classic era for our Jolly Bloody Good Holiday Play Party!!!
Costumes are encouraged, but not required, and there will be door prizes for those with the best themed costumes and scenes, so whether your preference is classical Victorian corsets or steam-punk attire, come out with your best dress! Remember, this is the era that gave us rattan canes, crops, the violet ray (better known now as the violet wand), medicine show mesmerization (hypnokink anyone?), and all sorts of kinky vintage medical equipment, including the original vibrators (though please respect the party rules regarding penetration).
Not sure what else to bring to the party? Forget something at home? Looking for that last minute kinky gift? Not to worry, we are thrilled to have Machine Mike Toys and Kacima, who have come together this holiday season as our exclusive party vendor, and will have all you need to stuff your stocking!
And speaking of kinky gifts, come early and join us for our annual Dirty Santa gift exchange. To play, just bring a wrapped gift of up to $25 in value (or alternatively, visit Mike and Kacima). We’ll take turns picking, opening, and stealing each other’s gifts until the smoke clears (but don’t worry, for a small donation to our FounderCare Committee, you can secure immunity for the round! Because giving and receiving isn’t just about Tops and Bottoms!!! Full Rules Here
But that’s not all. Join us for our pre-party munch at the Bread and Butter Café from 7:30-9pm. The munch is a GREAT way to meet people in a low-key, non-kinky setting. You’ll find more info about it here!

Join Master Fine Arse for a fun evening of art making. She will guide you through getting down on paper the sight and feel of the caress of the bonds, and give you tools to take back to your own dungeon. People of all artistic abilities are welcome.

Our panelists will represent a diversity of kinks, experience levels and perspectives. Questions from the audience will be welcome.
