Boyz* are wonderful. They are in their character and their sexuality so unimaginably diverse! From shyly sensitive or honestly empathetic to charmingly seductive or ironically & mischievously playful, on to whiny-bitchy or in need of control, narcissistically vain and dominant... – oh, there are so many versions! Oh, there's so much more to discover than one could imagine!
How about an encounter with all of them? With the romantic one-and-onlys, the seductive gigolos, the understanding and consoling daddies, with the neurotic fetishists, the sadistic pigs, the energetic pushers and eccentric pleasers, with the storytellers and the mansplainers and the empathetically adept listeners, just waiting for the right opportunity...?
In this playful and probably a bit silly workshop we would like to give the Boyz* – anyone can be a boy* – a stage on which they can experiment with themselves (resp. their role), experience themselves (resp. their role) and demonstrate all the fabulous that they are and that they can offer to the others – to the Girlz*! – and anyone can be a girl*, of course. Make a decision whether you would like to be one or the other before you arrive and reflect on how you'd like to represent your chosen role. While the Boyz* develop their character during the workshops, the Girlz* just have coffee & cake and a chat while awaiting the final fair.
May the Boyz* present themselves in all their nearly post-patriarchal insecurity and arrogance, their lostness and sensitivity, in acknowledgement of equality with, or humble submission to, an approaching matriarchy, as well as in the last rebellion of traditional ideals: may the forces of the weird-masculine gather to create a fabulously diverse spectacle of experience for all those who feel the desire to get involved, to see such happening with their own eyes, to experience it in their own bodies!

Ein Workshop im Rahmen des Touch & Play Festival Germany
More on the T&P-Festival:
“Over the past years the Post-Contact scene has gathered force with many CI-fusion forms bubbling up everywhere. Teaching on the chemistry of our connections however is still very limited and while many local communities acknowledge the need for clearer boundaries and guidelines in this realm these are often limited to written documents, leaving practitioners to figure things out for themselves. The value of embodied spaces that welcome the experiential exploration of the many unspoken needs that we bring to the dance floor is thus as present as ever.
T&P is a sex-positive, bdsm-friendly space open to dancers and players of all genders, abilities, origins and sexualities. Many of the Touch&Play teachers who’ve helped shape this body of work over the years will return to co-create a container that feels both comfortable and challenging and where we can connect through both a shared classical CI vocabulary and through the learning of new norms and forms that can enrich our dances, our relationships and our lives.”
