Peter & Rita Frumpus

	Rita Frumpus Rita Frumpus mediates as scientific counsellor in socio-politic projects between people who think differently. Further she is working on ‘Wortspiel’ (play on/with words), an audio installation of interviews on the topic of polarised identities. Together with Frivola Zenk she organizes the SM worshops ‘playtime’ in Berlin.

Their Workshop:

Switching
There is little in S/M culture that welcomes the possibility of an unpredictable reversal of roles or positions. Moreover, it is rarely acknowledged that one may feel uncertainty as to what role one actually has or in truth wants.
This workshop is envisaged as a role-playing workshop, where participants will be invited to suggest scenarios with a switching theme. We will choose a few scenarios that together we will act out and watch, and perhaps later discuss.

Switching is the realm where people may not be what they seem, where there can be trickery or deception, masks that are
invisible - even to those who may be wearing them. Could there be an SM play when one doesn’t know what the roles really are, and who plays them?
