Our Past Workshops

Consent In Practice – Caturday College Series #2

Saturday October 25, 2014

We are all familiar with slogans such as “Consent is Sexy” or “Got Consent” but what do consent practices look like in different contexts? Consent relies on communication, which we all know has it’s share of risk factors for being misunderstood. Each community or type of event will have it’s own social norms, protocols, and expectations. Even words can have different meaning in different communities, can be used to describe very different activities. What can we do to minimize the risk involved when determining consent? What do we do when despite all good intentions there is a misunderstanding regarding consent?

Course Contents:
As part of this course, Moon Dancer went through various situations that happen throughout your life and how to utilize consent and proper communication within all these situations

Testimonials

“You know the club scene? you pay for cover, then coat check, then for atm fees, and then a drink, and all of a sudden you’re out 30 bucks and you’re kind of off to a bad start. you feel weirdly over and underdressed. you and your group of friends stands in a small circle and sort of self-consciously dance at each other. katy perry again. you try to yell conversations. you see someone you kind of know, but decide not to say hello cause it’s a bit awkward. someone grabs your butt. ugh. not sure what to do, you order another shot. next thing you know, you’re sitting on the nightbus with a spinning head, and you can’t help but think, “was that it?” it never got weird enough for me.

Now caturday – you’re ALWAYS under-costumed. people you kind of know, maybe just from facebook, give you a big hug! you admire the hand-crafted artwork, and spectacular stage design, that obviously took hours to make! the music gets your feet movin. womp womp. you’re not huddled either – everyone is dancing, together! music music lights lights vibin. and then there’s a performance! an well-rehearsed theatrical bit to really connect you to the theme of the night.

Caturday events are sort of the thing that make you think- ahh this is what i was looking for! it was here all along! it was waiting for me! good clean fun. older children gettin funky and playing dress-up with lights and music.”
