House of Play is proud to once again collaborate with Anna Natt.
Anna Natt is a performing artist and dominatrix whose multidisciplinary work explores the intersection of dance, performance, and visual arts. Her background includes dance, BDSM, Body Weather, hypnosis, tantra massage, among other practices, and she draws from these experiences in her artistic work.
Annas style of facilitation, focus on group play and the absurd yet also grounded in somatic practices and focus on consent is a great inspiration for what we do at House of Play.
What are fantasies and how can we play with them?
Some fantasies arrive as vivid scenarios. Others appear as fleeting images, recurring thoughts, bodily sensations, fragments of memory, or desires that are difficult to put into words. They may be shaped by personal experience, culture, relationships, pornography, dreams, fears, or simple curiosity to try something new.
In this workshop, we will explore how to locate our fantasies through a series of guided exercises and interactions and discover what emerges when we give our fantasies space and attention.
Through somatic, sensory and playful choreographic exercises, we will tune into the scenarios that are in our head and bring them to life.
This workshop is less about what fantasies mean and more about using the space around us, the objects and people within it to create them. Throughout the weekend, there will be opportunities for solo reflection, partnered exercises, and group explorations.
Another focus is asking ourselves what is possible in a group that is not possible alone and how our fantasies change when other people enter them. What new possibilities emerge when our imagination becomes collective?
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This weekend is for anyone curious about exploring their fantasies and the fantasies of others. Whether you are new to workshops of this kind and still tentative about joining, or an experienced participant in sex positive spaces 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, there is no expectation of physical interaction with anyone you do not feel comfortable with, or of physical interaction at all if not desired. A range of options will be offered within the exercises to include different kinds of participation. This may involve interacting with others, but it can also mean simply being present, observing, exploring solo, or taking space alone.
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.

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.
