Class is a demo and will cover types of predicaments, the foundation of safe predicament scenes and a guide to designing your own. During class there will be a demo of three categories of predicaments. Any remaining time will be dedicated to an improv period, when the attendees get to set up the scenario and the instructor will create the predicament. As a part of LSM’s participation in Leatherfest, we are pleased to open up this meeting to all genders.
