The Playfighting Lab with Christian Red

We can be drawn to play fighting for a myriad of reasons. It can be a way to access our playfulness, tap into our competitive sides, connect with others in a physical way, or explore power dynamics in a deeply embodied way. It's also a lot of FUN!

About the event
“The playfighting workshop was an utter delight: fun in ways I expected, only more so, but also unexpectedly tender, beautiful and healing” Simon, Wirral
Pleasure Rebels is super excited to be hosting another day-long workshop in collaboration with Christian Red.
For many of us, we probably haven't had the chance to explore playfighting since our childhood, and it can feel harder to step into this as we get older - there can be more self-consciousness or needing to be "good" at something, or we may be more afraid of getting hurt than we were as kids.
Safety is a core part of this workshop, and we will discuss the various risks that this play introduces and how to mitigate them.
