AFA Saturday September 21st Practicum
September 21 @ 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Topic – Creativity and Improv in Your Scenes
PractiCum is back!! It’s been a great summer break but it’s time to get the creative juices flowing. We are so excited to be getting together for our next PractiCum on Saturday, September 21st from 3:00 – 5:30 pm. The PractiCum is a hands-on learning lab for putting into action the information imparted in AFA core classes, sharing information, and networking with fellow kinksters. PractiCum’s content is meant to be driven by the wants and needs of the people attending. It’s designed to practice, share skills/information, and get some real-life experience.
This month we are trying something different…IMPROV! We are hoping to get some creative thinking and play going by everyone, experience level doesn’t matter today. You do not need to unpack your toy bag for this one either, we are going to provide you with everything you need and get you thinking outside of the box for creating a scene. Come with an open mind and get ready for brainstorming and laughter as we create toys and great scenes out of everyday items. We’ll be doing this as a collective and sharing ideas with each other, hopefully through the laughter and fun. You won’t want to miss this one!
Lastly, you can put this information together and practice some of the new ideas or some skills you are hoping to perfect. Facilitators will be available to help ensure that you are set-up for success. Feel free to ask a facilitator for some one-on-one help with a skill as well as feedback on how you are doing.
Have an idea for a PractiCum topic, reach out to miss-bev on Fetlife.
Can’t wait to see you there!
PractiCum’s member-driven discussion topics and “learn by doing” approach to practicing ethical negotiation and play provide insights to elevate your play no matter what your level (and it’s a great way to get to know your fellow kinksters at AFA).
