Freedom Through Limitation
Anir draws from her experience of witnessing people bypassing deep connections for fear of losing their ‘freedom’.
After watching and studying human to human encounters in dance and musical improvisation, she has noticed that even when we can do whatever we want, we’re still not free. We are bound to our habits.
In this workshop she plays with the paradox that we can find freedom in the places in which we are limited. It is here that a lot more, if not everything, is possible.
Fucking with Monogamy
This workshop is designed for couples+ to explore ways to deepen their connection while navigating polyamory and sex positive spaces. Many people come to sex positive spaces with their partner(s). Navigating the particular challenges of negotiating boundaries can be difficult. Sometimes partners have differing needs, and expressing these isn’t always easy.
This workshop focuses on building trust and communication skills, enhancing physical intimacy and sexual pleasure, and dialoguing with other couples+ who are going through similar processes. Together, we will discuss the challenges that can arise in polyamorous relationships. We will explore issues such as jealousy, boundaries, and communication, and share strategies for maintaining healthy relationships. Throughout the workshop, we will emphasize the importance of consent and respect in all relationships – including with oneself – and encourage couples+ to develop a shared understanding of their desires and boundaries.
