ASSFest S25 Rim | Cherubim

*** An ASSFEST S25 Rim event - see here for ALL the juicy details! ***

Aimed at Consent Angels and Dungeon Monitors (and those who are wanting to learn), Trey Emery (Inanna Academy) presents a skill share and Q&A focusing on consent agent theory - including different models of consent agents in play spaces, strategies to engage with patrons, personal safety taking on the role of a consent agent, and what to look for while on duty. While this part of the event is mostly theory-based, we will also engage in practical exercises to encourage a broader understanding of the various talking points.

Some of the core concepts we will cover:

• Definitions and terms of the event based consent advocate roles

• Understanding approaches to evaluating and managing risk in a SOP and kink environment

• Bystander effect 

• Affect - projecting a persona consistent with the event’s intention

• Social capital

• Types of power

• Consequences and accountability for transgressions or mishaps

• Effective incident reports and escalations

• Responding to guests and incidents -trauma informed

• Personal impact and Self-care in the role of a event based consent advocate
