This class will focus on how to craft a dynamic group scene that allows both the Tops and the bottoms to have their desires fulfilled; we will explore how to develop a collaborative experience where meeting individual needs is tantamount. We will address the following questions: How do you identify what your needs are in a scene, as opposed to what activities you are negotiating? What is your vision and desired outcome? How do you know a scene went well? What are your markers of success, feelings of joy, and musts for a ‘great scene’? Our goal is to help you develop tools that can help you identify what you really want, develop flow with others, and assist you with the skill set to create scenes where everyone's needs are met.
Playing Well with Others: Live Action
Everyone who participated in the Group Scene class is invited, if they desire, to put their new skills into practice. Collectively we will make the magic of a group scene happen after facilitated negotiation and planning.
