JUKE BOX
CREATIVE PLAYPARTY
My wish for a PlayParty is to create an experimental place where we can explore a COLLECTIVE, SEXPOSITIVE, QUEER & KINKY space, using the "3R" tools of Radical Honesty, Radical Empathie & Radical Listening for better communicate with eachother.
I propose each time a different focus, inviting artistic collaborations and welcoming special guests to inspire creativity and playfulness, let space for curiosity, encourage questioning wishes and desires and reflecting on the differents dinamics of giving and recieving – whether for newcomers or experienced players.
This time, I’m thrilled to announce the special presence of a Human Jukebox aka T.Thomason! We’re still not completely sure about its user manual, but we’re confident we’ll figure it out together—how to make this music machine work and what it needs to be fed."
You are welcomed to come as a special character (human or object) and to bring toys and tools - as well as knowledge about consent, communication and safer sex practices.
I count on your original and unusual dressing skills. A recent STD test is very recommended.
Switches, Role Players, Queer people and Feminists and all Sensitive Beings are especially welcomed. Experience in meditation, bodywork, martial arts, music, dance, theatre, conscious kink, tantra or other "embodied" knowledges are an advantage to be admitted.
We particularly enjoy navigating the interface between art and kink practices and try to create individual bliss as well as collective magic.
For people we don't know or who are coming for the first time, we recommend at least not arriving alone. As we only have space for a certain amount of people and wish to maintain the quality of the event, admission cannot be guaranteed. If you wish to introduce yourself first, please write me to micha.stella.berlin@gmail.com
Entrance is only permited between 18:30 and 19, to allow the Party to start in the presence of everybody. Please be on time!
Remeber to bring a big towel with you.
Guest Jukebox: T.Thomason
T. Thomason has captured audiences with high energy, emotional indie pop performances in Canada & beyond since his teenage years.
A passionate advocate for queer/trans rights, T. aims to create life affirming, joyful experiences for his community (& everyone else) through music. He approaches songwriting as a commitment to “Say tough things tenderly,” a practice revealing an impressive depth of wisdom, clarity & courage in the young artist.
Collaborating with Sarah McLachlan, opening for Carly Rae Jepsen, & touring with Collective Soul are only some highlights of T.’s exciting career to date. T.’s most recent album ‘Tenderness’, released by Six Shooter Records in 2024, is “filled up with odes to quiet, beautiful, and scary moments of intimacy” (Range Magazine), and “Contains multitudes. It starts off as shimmery, dreamy, and intimate and slowly builds into a pop-rock explosion of nostalgia and feelings: longing and gratitude, love and fear, determination and joy.” (CBC Music). In March 2025, T. sets off on his “Dirty Thoughts” EU/UK tour, performing at queer/feminist sex stores for three weeks.

PREVIOUS EVENTS
10.7.23 CREATIVE SEXUALITIES / NEEDS & DESIRES
To tell the body/machine what to do, you listen to what the machine/body can do.
To listen, you experience with it.
And to experience, you can join our play ground!
On the 10th of June, I invited the musician programmer from Copenhagen LSWaRe to co-create with me this IKSK Play Party. Our wish to design a sex positive space together first started with a debate about how similarly the processes of Creative Practices & Creative Sexualities both relate to Needs and Desire.
What are Needs & Desires in my Creative Practice ? (LSWaRe)
Central to my creative practices are different kinds of relationships with the machines.
As a PROGRAMMER (telling the machine what to do)
As a MEDIATOR (bridging between the machine and sound)
As a LISTENER (listen to what the machine can do)
Each of these relationships has a directive & receptive side:
– you program in the machine's language (the machine is dominating you)
– you receive specific aspects expressed by machine and you give them voice
– you are free to decide if you listen or not !
How can we use our Needs & Desires to experience a Creative Sexuality? (Micha)
TO CHOOSE/ As a Creative Being with a re-claimed body, you choose to explore with it.
TO COPE/ As a Mediator you try to reach for balance between new and old grounds
TO ENJOY/ you own your body, and express and manifest your needs and desires
(with radical honesty, radical empathy and radical listening)
Each of these Attitudes require the capacity to embody a directive & a receptive side.
– To choose you allow your body to experience in its terms.
– To cope, you look to bring harmony/mediate, between your needs and desires & your new & old belief systems.
– To enjoy/ (to feel free to enjoy) you allow yourself to be in a Sex Positive Spaces, where any of these questions can be addressed, without judgement, guilt or shame.
Put some attention to your dress code and please be on time, we wish to start together and finish together, doors close at 21.
Also remember to bring toys and tools you enjoy to play with & a big towel.
The intention of the night is “to Come Together, as we are“, and I welcome all gender identities, sexual orientations, human and non, creative beings and imaginary characters... Looking forward to our playground.
