    Defying Stereotypes: Redefining Boundaries

    The boundaries we set are strongly rooted in our evolution. We find safety in structures and roles, such as a relationship, a chosen family, a good employer. How can we set ourselves up for more effective boundaries? Our goal is to offer an opportunity for participants to enrich their sense of self and awareness, and to recognize their personal boundaries.

    Transformative Play by Lucian and An

    Queer Gym Oost, Wagenaarstraat 336, Amsterdam

    How do we carry our bodies in today’s world? And which social structures shape how we feel, move, and express ourselves?In this playful and reflective workshop, participants explore their relationship to the body through conversation, sculptural extensions, and movement. By crafting and wearing new bodily forms, we open space to rethink identity, presence, and interaction.We conclude by sharing insights and experiences—discovering together how our bodies can transform, resist, and imagine new possibilities.The workshop will be hosted by Lucian Kuijpers and An Kuper. Two queer, non-binary, transmasculine artists. This workshop is related to their new theatre play ‘Pleasure Parts (for de(con)struction).The workshop is accessible for everyone, and is written from a queer perspective. No prior experience needed. The workshop will be in English, unless all participants speak Dutch.

    Drag workshop

    Queer hub, Notweg 38, Amsterdam

    ho are you when no one’s watching? Who are you when everyone is? Some things you carry your whole life. Others you discover in a room full of people who get it.

    QueerHub is teaming up with @kara_karagoza to bring you a drag workshop series that’s less about the glam (okay, also about the glam) and more about what happens when you let yourself be seen.

    More about Karagöza:
    Cypriot multi-media maker based in Amsterdam. Their work surrounds the themes of gender, roots and sociopolitical satire. Many times they appear as their drag persona Karagözα – a gender bender jester drag king persona that originates from the traditional shadow play character Karagöz (Turkish) / Karagkiozis (Greek).

    Across three 3-hour sessions, you’ll warm up your body, your voice, and your nerve — with theater-based exercises designed to shake off the stiff and wake up the you underneath.

    No experience needed. Just curiosity, and maybe a little willingness to surprise yourself.

    p.s. this series will be hosted in English.

  7. Shibari classes

    Shibari classes

    Lola Lieven, Rodenrijsstraat 43, Amsterdam

    These classes are designed for absolute beginners, beginners and people who already know how to coil rope, tie a single column tie and double column tie each with double wraps and a square knot.

    Information about the class: Shibari is the term generally used to define Japanese rope bondage. Although it has many similarities to Western bondage (the B of BDSM), Shibari is centred around the dynamic between partners and creates a scene of play where ropes are leading the player. The practice is rooted in eroticism but evolved outside Japan apart from sexual also to artistic practices and community building. The classes are designed for all levels but especially for beginners to give a point of entry and start the journey with ropes. They will give everyone the tools to get started in their practice safely, no matter which role they prefer to take on, tying or getting tied; switching is permitted and encouraged. The event lasts 3 hours of which 2 hours are dedicated to class and 1 hour to free tying, a ‘rope-jam’ where one can practise, tie for fun and socialise and mix with other participants. The topic of each class is different every month and will be announced in advance.

    Bio of the teacher

    Eileen aka Asiana is a kinky switch with a passion for Japanese rope bondage (shibari). She’s the founder of RopeLounge and has been teaching shibari for over 10 years in Amsterdam. The aesthetics and Japanese approach to tying have a great appeal to her. Generally she likes the more challenging way of tying and enjoys seeing her partners suffer in her ropes. From an educational point of view she likes to focus both on the technical part for safety reasons and the playful part for fun.
