Domination is an Art for Every Body, but not Every Body is seen as equal in the society in which we exist. Respectfully occupying the realm of Them-Domme, Mx. Novatrix will address the importance of domination within a gender non-conforming context and center the discourse around why gender is important and how this highlights power, privilege, access and control within a broader social context.
Be prepared to center yourself and your own experience in the class as well as confront often unquestioned assumptions about domination and how the importance of this work and lifestyle has shifted the narrative for gender throughout history and in contemporary practice.
