BDSM Beyond Binary – Erotic Classroom – Writing Lesson

A Writing Lesson” is an exploration of various erotic fantasies around education. From rewriting traumatic school experiences to exploring the power dynamic between a teacher and a student or the rituals of education, the classroom can be a powerful playground for BDSM.

Headmistress Vita and her Head Girl Astrid will guide you through a brief lesson in history about the classroom in BDSM media, and then through a series of writing exercises that reflect on the classroom as an institution of power. The workshop toes the border between conventional workshop and play scene. It is conceived as a classroom setting in which participants have the opportunity to be quiet students or, if they wish, to play along and experience some of the emotions of the classroom. You may write quietly, or you may read out loud and be heckled or praised…
