The Pleasure Practices is a workshop series where we explore pleasure as a joyful, collective, and creative practices. As part of Soraya’s choreographic research on female pleasure and inspired by her North African roots, each session has a different focus but is always anchored in consent, curiosity, and fun, and is meant as a space to connect with practices that feel good, for ourselves and with one another.
We might write erotic stories inspired by Sheherazade, paint our bodies in henna inspired style, sing karaoke to iconic SWANA music (Aïcha, Aïcha écoute-moi!), unleash our voices and possibly moan, play dress-up with fabrics and costumes, or take a rest, pause and reset by learning some massage techniques. Sometimes Soraya facilitates solo; sometimes she invites special guests to share their knowledge; and other times we plug in our common knowledge and learn from one another.
It's exploratory, sensual, sometimes giggly. Come discover what pleasure means to you. ;-)
The workshops are related to Soraya Emery's production Coming Soon.
