SM 201: Rôle Play

Presented by Michele (NYC)

It’s Not Just For Halloween Anymore!

Looking to turn last year’s costume to good use? Always wanted to live out that fantasy about “the Nun and the Schoolboy,” but didn’t know where to find the outfits? Not sure how to work some of your more ordinary or esoteric props into a scene? We’ll walk you through all the steps leading to rôle play, which is really nothing more than erotic theatre for two (or more)! We’ll discuss some of the more common fantasies and where to get the props for them; how to use the Internet, thrift shops, and catalogues to find costumes for less than what you’d pay in a fetish store; how to ‘write the script’ for your fantasy; and finally, how to act it out. Simple props will be provided, and participants are encouraged to bring costume ideas.
