Workshops & Demos
We’ve been running demonstrations at the
BBB since the very beginning.
In fact, the BBB was the first UK fetish event to offer free monthly
demonstrations. During the years which we have been running, we have
widened
the definition of demonstrations to include workshops and
discussions, and
our unique performances.
Subjects for demonstration and / or discussion have included
technical and
practical information on bondage, flogging, single-tails, electrical
play,
fire-play, wax-play, pony play, scene etiquette, role-play, and many others.
We
have
been fortunate to have had presentations by some of the UK’s
foremost
experts in their craft, and we have also welcomed visiting
demonstrations
from the USA and the Netherlands. These demonstrations have proved
to be
invaluable for new-comers to the BDSM scene, but have also been
appreciated
by experienced players who can recognise that learning never stops,
and that
there are always new twists to some of the oldest games.
However, the “jewel in the crown” of the BBB over the years has been
in the
performance area.
In December 1999 we presented (to a rapturous and
appreciative audience) the world’s first ever BDSM pantomime,
“Sinderella
and the Magic Butt-Plug”. A month later we presented the first of
our (now)
annual Fetish Fashion shows, reclaiming fetish fashion back from the
“body
police”, and showing that ordinary people can look fantastic in
fetish
clothes.
Each year we have had Fantasy and Role-Play performances
that have
included electric-play light shows and spectacular fire-shows.
In
December
2004 we presented (again, to a rapturous and appreciative audience)
“My Fair Subbie”, the world’s first BDSM musical.
The “demos” are organised by
Keith, but with
the active participation of a huge number of other people.
If you’d
like to
be one of those people get in touch with him.

July Demo
Burlesque
Another new teasing, tempting and
titillating demo at the BBB!
With the resurgence of burlesque as a
popular art form, on Sunday 20th July the BBB plays host to
neo-burlesque entertainers Angel LaVey, Delilah Defoe and Tallulah
Tease who will be performing a special saucy routine to start the
demonstration off.
Then they will be inviting members of the audience out to learn a
few basic moves and techniques
of the time honoured tradition of classic striptease.
This demo promises to be a really fun
event so get your glad-rags on and come and learn how to take
them off with style! :-)
Top floor at. 1.30 pm
