SUMMARY:BR Gateway - November 2023
DESCRIPTION:Black Rose (BR) Gateway is a great way to get a lot of information about the local kink community before you commit any unintentional faux pax because everyone (except you) knew about the community and social expectations. \nWe cover topics ranging from from Consent to Privacy\, Negotiations to Aftercare\, and ensure that everyone is aware of our aggressive stand against certain types of behaviors. You can learn more about what you can expect from BR Gateway by reading: \n\n\n\n\n\nThinking about attending Black Rose Gateway (overview of the program)\nGateway Attendee FAQ\n\n\n\n\n\nBR Gateway and Dungeon 101 work together like a lecture/lab combination class; you can get a lot from attending either one\, but you can get a lot more by attending both. \nGateway is in person at The Crucible. Proof of primary vaccination status is REQUIRED and masks are strongly encouraged (this is current in 2023). \n\nBR Gateway entry is no longer available through Eventbrite\, but only available for purchase at the door; Dungeon 101 tickets are the same.

SUMMARY:Bringing the Play into Playspaces with Lee (Not Harrington)
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nWhy are playgrounds important? Playgrounds and play encourage growth\, learning\, development\, communication\, relationships\, boundaries\, and a sense of self worth. All are welcome in this class and tools and exercises are built for all levels of attendees – regardless of experience\, identifiers\, “type of player”\, or side of the slash- this class is for you. \nThe objective of this class is to reinvigorate a sense of play\, exploration\, and creativity in order to build ability\, confidence\, and relationships in play and play spaces. This is a class of doing and discussing\, as opposed to handouts and note taking. T-shirts / loose fitting clothing or gym appropriate clothing is encouraged for this class. There will be accessible movement\, negotiated touching\, partnering up and changing partners throughout these exercises. This class will have noises like crinkling paper\, loud voices and other sounds. Sound dampening devices are welcome. Gloves and masks are welcome and will be available\, but may or may not be required (depending on rates of infection or immune-compromised attendance). A large part of this class will be negotiating personal boundaries and needs in short bursts of time\, and learning to explore within those boundaries. You will need to adapt to the level of safety determined by your partners as we go around the room. This class will not be suited for recording and attendance needs to be in person. This class may be embarrassing\, discomforting\, and may lead to uncontrolled laughter and silliness. Playgrounds are designed for growth\, and growth is frequently uncomfortable. \nPresenter Bio\nLee (NOT Harrington) laughs that she / they are older than Fet\, and has more than 20 years in the DC region BDSM community and considers themselves a power flexible\, switchy\, neurospicy\, LGBTQIA+ person. They have an extensive educational background in technical theatre\, creativity\, and anthropology\, and are thrilled to have created a class that celebrates fun\, play\, and human connection\, regardless of how one defines themselves.  \n\n**THIS IS AN IN-PERSON EVENT AND WILL NOT BE STREAMED. YOU MUST ATTEND IN PERSON. **\nAll ticket sales are at the door.\nProof of Vaccination will be required.\n\nTickets are $5 for Black Rose Members and Members of Reciprocal Groups with their Membership Card and $10 for non-members. \n\nEmail info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its events. \nAccessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org.

SUMMARY:Boo! Fear Play for Beginners with Alixzander
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nThis class explores how a player can effectively create situations and environments that elicit a fear response from their partner. Fear can be used independently as its own scene\, or used as a tool within a scene to enhance the experience. In this interactive learning experience\, participants will explore fear through the five senses. Throughout\, participants will both learn tools to better utilize fear\, as well as develop their own personal methods in producing a fear response. This class is hands-on\, encouraging participants to dive into what makes them (or their partners) shudder with fear. \nPresenter Bio\nAlixzander has been described as the energizer bunny of the DMV BDSM Scene. He currently sits on the board of Black Rose\, and serves as the Director of Education. He is also a manager at The Crucible\, staff for both Camp Crucible and CrucibleCon\, and is proud to be one of the event hosts of Queer Identifying N Kinky (QINK). Alixzander considers BDSM his art form\, and he loves to create. As a fear player who plays on both sides of the slash\, Alixzander enjoys bringing his nightmares to life. \n\n**THIS IS AN IN-PERSON EVENT AND WILL NOT BE STREAMED. YOU MUST ATTEND IN PERSON. **\nAll ticket sales are at the door.\nProof of Vaccination will be required.\n\nTickets are $5 for Black Rose Members and Members of Reciprocal Groups with their Membership Card and $10 for non-members. \n\nEmail info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its events. \nAccessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org.
