I am delighted to share with you Aaron's  Erotica writing workshop

If you have been to Stand Up Smut in the past year, you may have experienced Aaron’s sublime writings.

Aaron has offered to teach a mini erotica writing workshop as part of our Erotic Art Party this month!

Aaron's stories are fantastical and set in far off worlds, but grounded in a very real somatic experience.  He’s been a teacher of dance and physical theater for decades (I’ve actually known Aaron since I was 8 years old).  I have never read any erotica quite like his, and I'm thrilled to host their first erotica writing workshop.  I think it’s gonna be fascinating

The Erotic Art Party was born out of a desire to connect with other humans in a playful, meaningful way, and catalyze each other’s creativity.

When you appear in the zoom room, you are welcomed into a co-creative space.  I love to design games that invite opening up and sharing your inner self, as well as tapping into the imagination.  I believe passionately in the use of art to express our humanity - including our erotic selves.

We will write poems, tell stories, draw pictures, act out dialogue, dance, laugh, and connect with other humans.  You are always welcome to participate at the level that feels right for you.  The games aren’t designed to be won, but to be enjoyed.  To inspire connection and vulnerability, as well as artistic expression.  I draw from both a theater background, as well as authentic relating, and story healing.  And I’m always looking for new and interesting ways to engage.  Every party is different, but they are alike in the mission.

To show up as our authentic, erotic selves.

To me, erotic is defined as sex filtered through the imagination.  We use our imaginations to create the world we want to live in.  I want to live in a world where sex is repsected as a source of joy and healing, as well as a source of creative inspiration.

Our rules are simple.  Be kind and respectful.  No recordings or screenshots.  Nipples are welcome, but no genitals on screen.  We honor and value each other’s well being and privacy.

The structured part of our gathering lasts about 90 minutes, with 30 minutes of hang out time at the end, if you don’t want to say goodnight right away.

Participants have reported feelings of connection, delight, playfulness, spontaneity, peacefulness, and arousal.

Come alone or bring a friend.  Partners are welcome.
