Porn Film Festival Amsterdam dives deep into the realms of pleasure, exploring the joyful and political facets of sex. Going beyond conventional perspectives, the festival shakes things up by featuring underground DIY creators alongside established figures from the porn industry. It's a platform where the unconventional, the marginalised, and the mysterious shine. The festival aims to carve out spaces for engaging encounters, giving room for both intimacy and rebellion. Join us in reclaiming and celebrating our unique and sometimes unconventional expressions of sexuality.

BURLESQUE FOR ALL GENDERS
In this workshop, we will explore what burlesque looks and feels like for people of all genders. 

What we will cover:
- quick history of burlesque and in particular gender-play and the presence of male, trans- and non-binary bodies in this art form
- warm up with simple but fun moves
- learn the basis of burlesque tease and practise how this could look when interpreted differently
- practice until you find what feels good for your body 

All the moves can be modified to suit you and no dance experience is required. This is not a cross-dressing or drag workshop, but a movement workshop about finding sexy, empowering moves that work for you just as you are. Please wear clothes that you feel comfortable in and that give you freedom of movement. Bring one item with sleeves and a front opening, this could be a bathrobe, a jacket, a button down shirt, a cardigan, anything that suits your mood and is easy to remove. This will be the only element of clothing we will remove in class. Shoes are not necessary.
