When: Saturday, July 18th 2026, 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM Pacific Time Where: Online, Zoom Ticket Link: https://forbiddentickets.com/events/black-thorn/411f8e8ccd Fetlife RSVP: https://fetlife.com/events/2026/07/18/dancing-in-the-deep-end-scene-collaboration-for-edge-play-live-recorded-zoom-class-eegb1e Class Description Let’s be real, most kink education is oriented for tops. This class aims to change that. Active Bottoming skills begins with acknowledging that both tops and bottoms have equal responsibility for great scenes. Just like in dancing, the connection, communication, and collaboration between partners makes all the difference between meh and mind blowing! This is especially true with Edge Play where we are dealing with inherently dangerous and/or taboo forms of play. When both partners are intentionally aware of what they are creating together, the result can often be greater than the sum of their experience combined! In this class, we will cover: Session Zero: Coming to terms with taboo desire for edge play and outlining what that looks like. Honestly and frankly communicating wants and needs for the scene with your partner. Actively recognizing the power each participant brings to the table. "Yes, And..." ; How to negotiate scene milestones with narrative collaboration. Through the Looking Glass: Entering and exiting a world where "normal" rules don't apply with intent. After Action Review: Learning from the past Edge Play scene to inform future scenes. Bring your curiosity and your questions to this insightful class. Everyone is welcome!
