WORKSHOP
Micha Stella will bring to UNCENSORED the workshop Play with consent exploring the notions of offense and danger and their intersection with consent and power. Stella will address the systemic limitations that shape women’s sexualities and desires and propose sex-positive practices as a sexual right and a liberating creative tool. Play with consent will offer ways to reach a better understanding of physical and emotional boundaries (both personal and that of other people’s) and develop verbal and non-verbal agreements through participative play and bodywork, towards the creation of a culture of consent.
Please note that availability is limited for this workshop.
SUNDAY 19 MAY 13:30 – 16:30 @The Hub 67
