Presenting at Sydney Xplore Festival over Easter

Hi E/everyone!

After I jet back into the country from San Francisco I'll be looking forward to the next thing on My dancecard - presenting two workshops at the Sydney Xplore Festival this Easter!

Click thru here to go to the Xplore site...

If you haven't heard about this benchmark festival, here's a couple of words from the it's convenor, Dr Peter Banki;

"Xplore is a three-day event on creative sexuality, BDSM, tantra, ritual and other body practices. Delve into new found pleasures by joining us.

Xplore offers more than 40 workshops and performances, bringing together a highly developed interest in the body and different aspects and variations of sexuality.

Xplore is hosted by international and local presenters, most of whom are professional artists, dancers, choreographers and/or scholars. There will be workshops with Hajime Kinoko, (one of the world's most dazzling Shibari artists), Tristan Taormino (best-selling author, sex educator and feminist pornographer) and Annetta Luce (dancer, choreographer extraordinaire). The festival culminates in all night Berlin-style party called "The Aristocracy of Desire".

Xplore presents workshops which will give you the chance to have new experiences, rather than only discussions or demonstrations. These experiences are as varied as sexuality itself. Some are therapeutic in nature, some emerge from aesthetic intentions, others are spiritual quests or searches for the borderline. Their common ground is playfulness, communication, creativity and expansion beyond traditional relationships. They represent a different sexual culture.

Above all, Xplore wishes to bring together those who think and love unconventionally. To share and to learn."

I missed the inagural festival last year due to prior commitments but this time, going on the success of last year, I was happy to offer My skills to the community!

I'm presenting workshops on "CBT: women on men", and "Latex: The initiation"! I'm really looking forward to the rubber workshop as I have not presented it before and am VERY eager (as you may imagine) to impart some of My love of latex to the workshop attendants!

I'm personally really looking forward to reacquainting with a certain person from Japan too - the really cool and immensely talented Kinoko Hajime! I've had the pleasure of attending a couple of his workshops in Melbourne and look forward to downing tools and rocking up to his workshops as a student! I'm sure I'll see him do some amazing things! Above is a taste of his truly unique rope style...

After I return from Japan - see My next blog posting, I'll be covering the festival for Tony Mitchell's "thefetishistas.com" too! I'll look forward to informing the rest of the kink world on yet another amazing happening down here in Sydney town. Stay tuned, I'll let you know when we publish the article.

I hope some of those who I'm familiar with in a professional session context can make it to what should be an amazing experience!

Best,

MT

TENS Electrical Play Workshop @ Uber BDSM Bonanza Sun 13th Mar

Hi E/everyone!

I am frequently asked to conduct BDSM workshops for the local Sydney kink community. The last lot I did were for the fantastic event "The Gathering" in October 2010 hosted by local fetish promoters Uber. 

Again, Uber have asked Me to present at their first BDSM Bonanza for 2011. This is being held at their new Camperdown venue which opened only last weekend!

I'll be presenting a workshop on the basics of "TENS/Electrical Play". I've run two previous workshops on this topic, both at a basic and advanced level. They were both very popular workshops and I've had numerous requests to conduct them again!

For those of you who want a taste of a scene you're curious about but don't really feel that knowledgable about, Uber's "BDSM Bonanza" is a great place to start! What happens is 5 different presenters hold 5 simultaneous workshops on their topic with 5 different groups of people. Then, not unlike a circuit class, the groups change and one group of people move on to the next presenter.

This Bonanza we're also having classes on...

• Needle Play
• Caning
• Cling Wrap Mummification
• ...and Hog Ties

It's going to be a fun set of workshops!

The best part is you can stick around for the optional "Stay and Play" to carry on the fun after the workshops are done!

Uber Under 30's workshop a great success!

Hi A/all!

Yesterday for the first time Uber presented one of their famous BDSM Bonanzas to the Sydney Under 30's Bdsm kink social group! I've participated in a number of Uber's Bonanzas before, presenting on a diverse range of topics such as Sensory Deprivation and Electrical play - but this time I was asked to talk on the basics of Bondage and Discipline!

 I had 40 young people at My whim to learn and expand their knowledge on B&D. We covered as diverse a range of topics as I could cater to in the short period of time; to discuss Bondage I did demos on mummification, Shibari and My straight jacket proved to be lots of fun for all! (I put a few people in it after the workshop!) I discussed Discipline in two broad streams; in terms of both traditional Corporal Punishment - percussion play; and the more subtle mental strengths of holding your own space in a scene, whatever scene it may be, and the virtues of the discipline of protocols. You all missed a lot if you weren't there!

I have another workshop on next month! It's one I've been looking forward to presenting and Miss Dee at Uber and I have been discussing it for ages! A latex clothing making workshop! I'm going to take the lucky participants through what I've leant in the last 6 years I've learnt in My time making rubber! I'll be letting people in on the tricks of the trade and how to make themselves simple pieces that they can actually wear to events. This workshop will be invaluable to those who like to make some basic gear for themselves! I'm not afraid of sharing My knowledge as the more people into rubber in the world - the better, I say!

The workshop is on Wednesday 28th July, called the "Latex - crafty "how to" Workshop." It costs $90 and the start time is 7.00pm. It will run for approx 3 hrs. Once registered, participants will be given the address of the venue. I plan to show people the basics and then help them to make a piece of rubber clothing to take home! Wow - you get to learn how to make a garment you get to take home! Excellent value!

Find the link to registration here on the Uber website if you want to come along!

Be well A/all - and be shiny!

My workshop on Electrical Play this Sun 18th April for the Uber BDSM Bonanza

Hi again!

I'm running a workshop for Uber this weekend as part of their very popular BDSM Bonanza!

What a great idea! The first event of this style I presented at was such a smash - with at least 60 people in attendance! The format of this event is; 5 workshops of 15mins each, running concurrently 5 times over. You are able to move between each one in whichever order you wish to view them.

My last offering was on Sensory Deprivation - but this time I'll be talking about a much more powerful topic...! No, I won't be making any more jokes like that on the day - at least I hope not! But I will be there to introduce all to the virtues and vices of one of My favourite toys - My Eros Tek shock box!

Information regarding the workshop day can be found on the Uber site here:

http://www.uberservices.com/UberLearn_local.html#april

 If you are in Sydney and interested in the workshops, there entire list of the ones to be presented this weekend are...

- cbt, the classic topic

- wax & ice play

- spanking

- electrical (TENS) play; and

- how to do up a corset

5 workshops in one afternoon? How much kink can you take? Lots please!!

See you there!
