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.

TES TNG Group: Better Brutality, with Bher

‘Better Brutality’ focuses on creating a connection through pain and using different techniques to foster closeness and intimacy during a scene. Much of BDSM is in the exchange of intimacy, trust and pain. Being the cause of someone’s pain can be a thrilling and heady experience, and it can also be the a conduit for intimacy and a deeper connection.
Bio:
My name is Bher and I’m a Queer Person of Color who has been involved in the NYC kink community for the last seven years. I went to a play party when I was 18 and decided to stay in the community ever since. I identify as a Sadist, focus on what I like to call “creative play” which is using found objects and ridiculous situations to cause humiliation and/or pain.
