Welcome to a series of three evening workshops on sadomasochism and the esoteric eros. I aim to provide one continuous narrative about what power play can be, experienced through play and ritual. Each evening offers a series of exercises or frames for play that I'll first demonstrate and that you will get to reenact with others under my guidance afterwards. For me, every sadomasochistic technique comes with a play (or ritual), and learning the technique (the easy part) without experiencing the play (the hard part) doesn't make sense—it's in the play the magic happens. I aim to offer a learning experience through practice and experimentation rather than lectures. Still, I'll reference my book Rituals and Paradoxes to explain one possible theory behind the practices. You can attend in a fixed constellation (duo, trio, etc.) or come solo and maybe find someone to work with during the evening; however, you might end up observing, as I won't assist (or force) anyone in partnering up or joining any practice. There is no requirement for previous experience with sadomasochism or the esoteric eros; however, if you are unused to participating in these kinds of experiential workshop structures, I recommend attending with someone you already know and feel safe with. If you have not attended Andy Buru's events before, please refer to this text about Freedom and Responsibilities to better understand what to expect and what is expected. Monday, November 4th. Embodied trust, embracing power dynamics and finding vulnerability as the queen of mother fucking everything. To be intimate, you must be vulnerable; to be vulnerable, you must trust. We will balance listening and challenging to build trust, starting in the body and moving through the experience of self, and finally, maybe ending in devotion. Later, we will explore sadomasochistic power dynamics as a modality for intimacy and, eventually, the idea of the vulnerable dominant to become more than just a shibari or flogging amusement park. Monday, November 18th. Making ritual and animalistic play and potentially/eventually switching the power dynamic. Play exists in between the animals and the gods. Gods are divine and elegant with their refined rituals. Animals, on the other hand, are carnal and instinctual in their lusts—hunt-fuck-kill. But it all begins with deeply caring and, as the dominant, overtaking and controlling the most basic needs of the submissive—food-sleep-hygiene—symbolically for now, to then reawaken the animal. There is a grand opportunity for switching here if one is attentive to the cues and brave enough, but of course, it's not mandatory. This workshop is not possible if you are allergic to oranges. Monday, November 25th. The necessity of edging and playing with the symbolism of death. As the dominant, if you can be vulnerable enough to focus on your direct deviant pleasures—compared to indirectly getting off on your submissives rumbling orgasms—then you must learn how to edge yourself. Because once it's completed, it's over, and we don't want that. Delaying and being minimalistic makes less into more. You, your partner and the situation become intensely sensitive. How much can you hold, in trust and intimacy, before you need to get out? However, at the same time, time is limited, and the number of sessions between two lovers is not endless. And you never know when it will end. So, what is really meaningful in your play? And how much can you delay that? These events occur in a secret location with plenty of space at St. Eriksplan. Due to steep stairs, the workshop space is not accessible by wheelchair. Additionally, expect loud sounds from people and music, silence, eye contact, movement, walking, crawling, rolling, and lying on the floor. Physical contact will only happen with prenegotiated but often non-verbal consent. If your body needs a softer padding, please bring a yoga mat, knee pads or something similar. If you are concerned about your ability to participate, feel free to reach out beforehand because it's often possible to find modification with a little effort and sacrifice. Please bring primarily comfortable clothes for movement. However, if they make you feel extraordinary, that's a most welcome bonus. You can bring toys, like whips and ropes, if you are already fluent in using them. There are better occasions to learn a new flogger. The doors open at 18:00 and are locked when the workshop starts at 19:00. We aim to end at 22:00, but we might be a little delayed from time to time. Afterwards, there might be time for socializing until 23:00. Price per person. All three workshops, 80 EURO. Solo workshop, 40 EURO. https://andyburu.se/event/the-necessity-of-edging-and-playing-with-the-symbolism-of-death-evening-stockholm-2/ |
