Presented by Erica Leroye
Whether roleplay is already one of your favorite ways to play, or the word makes you think, “That’s not really my thing,” this workshop offers a fresh way in.
We often think of roleplay as costumes, scripts, scenes, fantasy, gaming, or something “other people do.” At our August Broadcast, Erica Leroye invites us to expand our thinking: roleplay is already happening in how we move through daily life shifting between the many roles, identities, responsibilities, archetypes, and relational positions we inhabit.
Cultural and media narratives can shape, and sometimes limit, the way we imagine sex roles, performance, and what roleplay is “supposed” to be. This gathering will open up a wider, more playful framework that we can use solo, partnered, and in community. What if our sexual self is not just one more role to perform or compartmentalize? What if erotic and creative energy can become the lubricant that helps us move between roles with more fluidity, resilience, playfulness, and choice?
We’ll also touch upon roleplay as a kind of erotic rehearsal lab: a safe-enough, playful-enough space to practice what real life asks of us — especially in poly, kinky, swinging, queer, and sex-positive communities.
Drawing on Erica’s work in somatic sex education, intimacy choreography, erotic performance, and embodied play, we’ll experiment with simple practices that help us move more freely between the roles we already juggle in life with more intention, authenticity, and lightheartedness.
