Saturday
16:00-17:30
Studio 4
A playful sweaty play-fighting jam inspired by grappling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We will explore safe games of balance, control, and curiosity. Fighting to be on top, sneaking to slip in the bottom, aggressive snuggling, watching each other's wrestling rounds, and some laughing in between. Open to all bodies. Bring your singlet, favourite wrestling suit, or any outfit that makes you feel bold.
