In Ecstatic Group Play Rehearsals we explore how to initiate and rehearse playing as a group, consciously creating and navigating scenarios together.
Through somatic, sensory, and playful choreographic explorations, we will tune into the collective body, experiment with ways of approaching and interacting with others, and feel into not only what we desire, but ask ourselves, “what does the space desire?”
Over the course of the weekend, I will introduce a series of choreographed orgy-like frameworks that serve as evolving group scores for shared exploration. Participants are invited to see this weekend as a journey of rehearsals, a living laboratory where both success and failure are welcomed. The focus is not on outcomes, but on refining attunement to one another while cultivating practices and ways of thinking and sensing together.
Ecstatic Group Play Rehearsals are opportunities to embrace the strange and the wondrous, where the awkward and the erotic coexist. Pleasure here is not about fulfilment, but about risk and experimentation, an invitation to offer ourselves to beauty, strangeness, and the unpredictable ways we meet each other.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This weekend is for anyone curious about exploring collective play, whether you are new to group settings and still tentative about joining, or an experienced orgy participant seeking a new, playful, or more intentional way of engaging.
Individuals, couples, and groups are welcome. However, the focus is on collective interactions rather than one-on-one encounters. While this does not need to include touch or physical interaction in any way, you are encouraged to come with an openness to connect with others in some form.
CAN I JOIN AS A BEGINNER?
Yes. Beginners are warmly welcomed.
DO I NEED A PARTNER?
You can come alone, in pairs, or as a group. The exercises are often practical, physical, and hands-on. You’ll be invited to work with different people in various constellations throughout the workshop, giving you the chance to co-create in a fluid, collective experience. While openness to different people and genders in exercises is encouraged, no one will be expected to interact with anyone that they don’t want to. Solo explorations are also warmly welcomed. Participation may involve interacting with others, but it can also mean simply being present, observing, or taking space alone. There is no obligation to engage in physical interaction.
DRESSCODE
This weekend will be a mix of guided exercises and open play spaces.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely for the exercises. For the open play periods, bring something to dress up in, something you might wear to a play party, for example. It can be sexy, festive, playful, or anything that helps you feel in the mood.
Please no street wear for those parts.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR
Anna Natt is a performing artist and dominatrix whose multidisciplinary work explores the intersection of dance, performance, and visual arts. Her video works, stage performances, and interactive pieces have been shown internationally in theaters as well as galleries and alternative spaces.
Her background includes dance, BDSM, Body Weather, hypnosis, tantra massage, among other practices, and she draws from these experiences in her artistic work. Originally trained as a flamenco dancer, she incorporates somatic and contemporary practices to abstract the body. Through this process, she seeks to explore the textures and qualities of movement, cultivating a deeper understanding of the body and its nuances.
A connection to trance and dream states is also a central theme in her work. She was raised in a charismatic Christian community, a branch of evangelical Christianity that uses techniques such as speaking in tongues and receiving visions. Early contact with these mystical practices led her to experiment with secular methods that reach similar states, such as Vipassana and Osho Dynamic Meditation, Holotropic breathing, and experimental bodywork. This has fostered an interest in metamorphosis and transformation, and in how subtle, often unspoken forms of intimacy and embodied communication manifest in everyday life.
She has created interactive spaces, curated the 3 day role-play performance space at the Berlin Xplore Festival, and offers immersive workshops in both on and offline contexts.
