Building Self Confidence for Models - Fuoco (3 HOURS)

*** Before buying tickets: This class will be presented online by Fuoco who is English speaking and there will be English speaking assistants as well. The entire class presented by Fuoco as well as the participation of attendees in English will be translated into Spanish live, so the class will last 3 hours due to the need for live translation.

About Fuoco:

• Fuoco began her discovery as a Shiabri / string model in Phoenix (USA) in 2012. She is a switch in the practice of Shibari and a very vocal advocate for Shibari / string models. When she is not practicing ropes, Fuoco is a professional circus performer constantly training to build her strength and flexibility. Her dedication to the study of body mechanics makes her especially interested in developing a more comprehensive education for Shibari / rope models to become more informed within these practices. You can find her jobs as an educator at many conventions in intensive conventions workshops in North America and Europe, and some online classes on the Shibari Study platform. Recently, Fuoco passionately turned to transformative justice practices and connecting kinky community building work to the larger plane of the abolitionist movement's struggle. She is incredibly passionate about collective development and the ability to address damages that can occur within our communities with care and compassion.

What you will learn:

• This class is partially a guided reading, demonstration, and discussion. It includes a theoretical framework for thinking about trust, tips for checking riggers, negotiating for game sessions, how to handle headspace during the Shibari session, and more. Participants will be encouraged to think critically about what makes a string / Shibari scene successful and how to make more room for our own conceptions of "success" in a scene.

• Models / bottoms with any type of experience can attend this workshop. This class will be even better if there is a wide variety of experiences participating. Participants are encouraged to come wanting to interact in the discussions so that we can all learn from each other.

• Bring paper and pen.
