This workshop will cover negotiation beyond the basics, focusing on the specific considerations of negotiation for, communication during, and aftercare/debriefing in scenes and ongoing dynamics which involve edge play.

Fear can be one of the most powerful tools in BDSM, creating intensity, anticipation, vulnerability and unforgettable experiences. In this workshop, Dr Pine and SparklyBulbasaur explore the psychology and physiology of fear, practical fear play techniques, risk management strategies, and the communication skills needed to safely incorporate fear into scenes and ongoing dynamics. Designed for experienced kink practitioners, this class provides a thoughtful, harm-reduction-focused approach to one of BDSM's most challenging forms of play.

Not all powerful BDSM tools come from a toy bag. Sometimes your most effective tools are your own hands. In this practical workshop, Dr Pine and SparklyBulbasaur explore the fundamentals of physical control, body manipulation, pain compliance, pinning, and resistance within risk-aware edge play. Participants will learn how to safely move, position and control a partner, understand the risks involved in rougher styles of play, and develop strategies for safer practice, emergency management and communication. Combining practical demonstrations with hands-on learning opportunities, this workshop provides a foundation for engaging in physically intense play with greater confidence and safety.

Knife play can be intense, intimate, psychological, sensual or sadistic, making it one of the most versatile forms of edge play. In this workshop, Dr Pine and SparklyBulbasaur provide a practical introduction to knife play, exploring safety considerations, knife selection, scene construction and risk management. Through discussion, demonstration and real-world examples, participants will learn how to incorporate knives into their play more confidently while maintaining a strong focus on safety, communication and harm reduction.

Interrogation scenes combine psychology, power exchange, resistance, emotional intensity and creative scene design into a uniquely immersive form of edge play. In this concluding workshop, Dr Pine and SparklyBulbasaur explore how to plan, build and execute compelling interrogation scenes while maintaining strong safety frameworks and risk awareness. Participants will examine different styles of interrogation play, the art of creating atmosphere and psychological pressure, emotional regulation, scene pacing, and techniques for managing intensity. Drawing on concepts explored throughout the Edge Play Series, this workshop brings together communication, negotiation, fear, control and psychological play into a powerful and memorable scene format.
