description
This 5-hour workshop has been carefully refined over the course of ten years (of previous, earlier iterations of The Practice Lab). This workshop will prepare you with the information and attitude you need to conduct yourself for your first party. The workshop includes discussion, theory, and practical exercises relating to communication and consent and will cover: boundary setting, and working out what you are and aren't interested in; our expectations of you; tools and practical exercises in communicating your interests and boundaries; safety issues (ranging from the emotional through to the physical); etiquette and how to communicate about sexuality and relationship concepts in this context. It's also a great way to meet others who will be attending the party for the first time.
