Queer Pole Play – Gender F*ckeryQueer Pole Play has evolved through multiple formats, from its playful beginnings to editions exploring sensuality, slinkiness, and the fluid performance of masc. This format brings these threads together in a pole workshop that celebrates gender fluidity, self-expression, and joyful embodiment.QPP Gender F*ckery invites queer, trans, non-binary, and intersex peeps – especially Black, brown, indigenous, neurodivergent and fat / larger-bodied people – whose bodies and experiences are often underrepresented in pole spaces to explore movement and their unique connection to the pole. The focus is on curiosity, play, and permission: breaking open gender stereotypes or leaning into them, blending power with softness, and finding pleasure in movement that refuses to fit a single frame. After the introduction Michelle (they/them/M) will facilitate about 80 minutes guided learning of pole and floor work technique with a playful and exploratory approach, creating a safeR space to engage with your body, be curious, and express creativity outside of binary norms. M teaches in German and English adjusted to the participants.What to Bring:Clothes you can move in freely and that make you feel goodShorts if you’d like to learn body/leg grip techniquesA top that covers your shouldersClean sneakers and/or Stripper Heels (like Pleasers) Kneepads (recommended to protect knees during floor work)SocksWater bottle and maybe a snackWorkshop fee in cashPlease bring cash and arrive 10 minutes before the workshop starts to get settled in so we can begin on time.Base Price & PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN: Please bring cash!The base price is € 16.
