Flogging: An Impactful Art with Whittney and Willow

Class Description

The art of flogging relies on a broad range of skills, each of which are arts on their own. When brought together, these skills transform flogging from being a simple impact scene into an expression of creativity that deepens the connection between the people involved.

This playshop focuses on presenting the skills of flogging as building blocks, with suggestions on how to practice each and then integrate them into a cohesive whole. Together we’ll explore the typical skills: how to stand, how to hold your tool, and ways to throw. We will also explore: how to get your partner ready and connect to them, how to use music, create flow, and most importantly, how to have fun. The goal of this playshop is to give you a way to practice that will let you create and develop your unique style and includes a great deal of opportunity for hands-on practice.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a flogger, or flogger-like toy (there are ways to make an easy rope flogger), and a partner to practice on.
