Dungeon 101
October 6, 2023 7:30 pm - October 7, 2023 2:00 am
The Crucible, 412 V St NE, Washington, DC 20002, USA
Dungeon 101 serves as an introduction into public BDSM play. If you have never attended a public BDSM play event, it can be a bit daunting. The Dungeon 101 class is specifically designed to make you feel comfortable at your first public BDSM dungeon event. Attendees and presenters come from a diverse cross section of the community, all orientations, genders and kinks are welcome. You are welcome to come alone, bring a friend or bring a bunch of friends.
From 7:30 until 8:00 PM will be social time. Starting at 8:00 PM, there will be a talk on scene etiquette and an opportunity to learn about the dungeon itself. Directly following will be a "Exploratorium" event until 11:00 PM where you can try and/or experience many different kinds of play scenes. The idea is for it to be a fun evening for everyone!
To facilitate the Exploratorium, we'll be capping attendance at 150. Everyone in the building (presenters, staff, attendees) must provide proof of Covid-19 vaccination to enter. No advance tickets are available for this event - please plan to arrive early and pay at the door.
$10 with Gateway card,
$25 members with membership card,
$35 all others
More experienced folk come on out after 11:00 PM for Open Play. We ask that everyone except presenters keep their toy bags put away until Open Play starts to avoid confusion. No scenes or play permitted during the Exploratorium.
This is an outreach event, you do not need to be a BR or Crucible member to attend.
In order to foster a learning environment, there is no sex allowed at Dungeon 101, and no alcohol is sold. This applies all night, even during open play after the Exploratorium has concluded.
You must be at least 18 years of age. Government-issued photo ID required for entry. Proof of Vaccination Required
