Playfighting
2025-10-25 18:00 - 21:00, 2025-10-11 18:00 - 21:00
Play fighting is a completely different way of engaging with other people. The way we move, think, and relate to our environment changes in this type of interaction. This group activity lets participants challenge each other for a play fight. All constellations are welcome.

In a safe environment, participants can challenge themselves and each other to fight with each other in a playful and joyful way. Not winning but experiencing is the focus of this monthly event. At play fighting, we will start with an introduction that covers motivation, safety, consent, and expectations.

Afterwards, it’s the participants’ space and time to experience play fights themselves.

All Levels Rope
2025-10-21 18:30 - 21:00, 2025-10-14 18:30 - 21:00, 2025-10-07 18:30 - 21:00, 2025-09-30 18:30 - 21:00, 2025-09-23 18:30 - 21:00
The Tuesday All Level runs on an 8-week rotation. At the start of each rotation we introduce a new harness structure. Over the subsequent 7 weeks we then approach that structure from multiple different directions and purposes, both technical and interpersonal. How can we break down and alter the harness to make it work in certain ways? Can we tie it while moving/dancing/sitting/playfighting? How does it behave in suspension? How can we make it ornate, or comfortable, or robust? We also build skills and habits to keep the focus on the interaction between humans rather than the pattern. People approach rope from a myriad different directions, motivations, and interests, so our classes should reflect that diversity of approach.

The order of classes may change depending on the pace and needs of participants. See the curriculum of our rope track

Harness Intro

Deeper Dive/Different Versions/Magic Tips and Tricks

Tying with Movement/Ranboo

Partial/Static Suspension (Upline Review)**

Interview Metaphor

Suspension with Transition Options (Upline Special Considerations)**

Floorwork

Challenges!

All Level classes are designed for partner work, though you are welcome to attend solo and absorb information.

A brief note on suspension:

You don’t have to suspend in these classes! It’s pretty common that newer people choose not to suspend on their first ‘rotation’ through the All Levels class. Work at the pace that suits you, make sure you feel comfortable with what you are doing, and we will support you.Please note: Anyone who plans to suspend should attend the appropriate Uplines Friday class. We will briefly review uplines and/or cover special considerations for uplines for a particular tie, but we will not teach uplines directly.

Loaner ropes are available. NO SUSPENSION with loaner ropes.

Couples are welcome to join as well.

All levels are welcome!

Bootblacking In & Out of Scene - RESCHEDULED
2025-10-15 18:30 - 21:00
Bootblacking refers to the process of cleaning and caring for leather gear, and is both a necessary and important step in gear maintenance. Despite the many tools in a bootblack’s kit, leather care is not as complicated as some folks may think. So, how do we do it? And furthermore, how do we make it sexy?

The first portion of this workshop is hands-on, where we will cover the essentials needed to care for your leather (be it boots, jacket, vest, or fanny pack). Bring your leather in need of attention and learn everything you need to keep it in tip top shape, at least until the next time you get it dirty.

The second portion will cover ways to bring bootblacking and leather care into a scene, and include a live demo.

Recommended materials:

Cleanser (saddle soap, glycerin soap, liquid castile soap); Conditioner (Huberd’s, leather balm); Toothbrushes; Rags

Optional:

Buffing brush; Dauber brush; Wax polish (black or neutral)

Orientation - For newcomers to kink
2025-10-13 18:30 - 21:30
New to kink and don’t know where to start? Interested in going to events but you don’t know how to behave, what to wear, what to do? You are definitely not alone and going to your first kink event can be quite intimidating. This barrier free newcomer orientation helps people who are brand new to take their first steps into the fascinating world of kink.

The first part is a conversation with the participants about the world of kink: Etiquette online and offline, expectations, dress codes at events, possibilities and some recommendations, especially for single folks.

In the second part of this orientation, we go through a few of the most common kinks: bondage, impact, Dominance/submission, fetishes, etc. Participants can see how it feels to hold a flogger or be tied up.

The last part is all about the open questions of the participants. Where to go from here? What to do with this or that fantasy? How to find someone to play with? And many more questions answered.

Community Discussion - Disability and Kink
2025-10-05 18:30 - 21:00
Accessibility in kink: A guided conversation and Q&A

How can we more safely and enjoyably navigate disability when practicing kink? How can we tune in to our partners’ specific needs and boundaries? How can we assume less, and instead meet the uniqueness of others with a healthy, engaged, and respectful curiosity?

Kink is for everyone, and no disability or even combination of complex disabilities needs to be the absolute end of our journeys exploring our bodies, our minds, and the full rainbow of sensations and experiences available to us. Disability enters all of our lives at some point; so long as we can meet its demands to become more creative lateral thinkers, we can live just as vibrantly as ever.

This discussion will be primarily focused around disability, but remember, accessibility is for everyone! “Able-bodied” folks are highly encouraged to join us and participate, I promise that you will learn and benefit as much as anyone else.

Meet our guest speaker for this event:

Shiphrah is a queer trans settler, multicultural grandchild of holocaust survivors, and ambulatory wheelchair user who has been enthusiastically practicing kink for 15 years. She lives with multiple intersecting complex chronic disabilities defined by unpredictability, frequently oscillating between being visibly and invisibly disabled. She is a writer of political theory with a focus on capitalism/imperialism from a disabled perspective, and is a stalwart jewish anti-zionist voice speaking up for the total liberation of Palestine.

Queer BIPOC Jam
2025-09-27 14:00 - 18:00
This Sunday at Studio Allegory we are hosting our monthly BIPOC QUEER rope jam for BIPOC and QTBIPOC people interested in rope play! This space welcomes all BIPOC and QTBIPOC, while acknowledging and creating space that prioritizes racialized folx who may face higher barriers to access, such as being Indigenous, Black, Brown and/or being racialized and Disabled.

We will be hosting a skillshare style jam where folx can come and lab some ties with partners, possibly tie with new people, come to self tie or learn some intro skills. Shayna Dee is hosting this time and the focus of the skill share will be rope and pain. No need to hurt but definitely the option.

Sensation Play

The intimate games of how it feels. It? – that depends. Can you see it? Can you hear it? Can you smell it? Or do you just have the sensation of something on your skin. You may not know where it comes next and how long it will be.

In this kinky Thursday class, Addie will take the participants on a journey to explore various ways of playing with sensations. Not everyone experiences everything the same way, Some things are off the table for one person but the best thing on earth for another.

Studio Allegory will provide plenty of different materials for the participants to try out and experiment with.
