Kinksters Got Talent!

Friday night, August 18, the entertainment is all of you uniquely talented individuals! Without question, we have some of the most uniquely talented individuals on this precious earth attending The Frolic this year. As such, we are basically all but required to give you an opportunity to showcase those talents.

As we welcome people from all walks of life, we welcome all forms of talent to this show. Throw your propriety to the wind, and share those secret talents you’ve been hiding.

Get creative! Can you juggle dildos? Can you pick up a dumbbell with your penis? Play the flute with your vagina? Make your boobs dance in opposite directions? Do you have a comedy routine you’d love to share? Or a monologue about pooping at work? Now is the time to bust out your favorite scene from The Vagina Monologues or refresh your best dance routines.

Sign-ups will be available during The Frolic leading up to the event on Friday night, so be sure to sign up early if you want to set the bar high and catch the audience while they’re fresh! 

Are you so talented that you’re not sure what would be best to share, or worried your talent might violate an existing rule for the camp? Feel free to reach out to The Frolic entertainment team for advice and approval at frolicentertainment@thecspc.org and remember that standard camp rules apply.

Flee Market! 

"Hold on a second! Don't you mean Flea Market?" 

"Nope! I meant Flee!" 

Get your extra gear that is gathering dust, that corset you never wear, those special books, cuffs, leather, latex, spanking bench… Clean it up and bring it to our mini Frolic market. Buy, sell, trade…then flee the market to try out your new treasures! 

Are you a maker or creator? Bring your kinky goods to sell! You must be attending The Frolic to participate. No, we are not taking a cut. We just want to support our community members! Email Turtle or Larry at frolic@thecspc.org with questions!

Frolic Presenter Bios: The Awesome Continues!

Sequentialized (Seq)

The Frolic’s featured presenter, Sequentialized or Seq (Pronounced "seek") uses they/she pronouns, with a preference for "they.” Seq identifies as an open-minded, neuroqueer, pansexual, polyamorous, nurturing top/dominant and edgeplayer living with chronic illness. 

Seq first encountered the kink community in the late '90s after devouring the book Different Loving by Gloria Brame. Over the years, Seq has assisted both large and small events in a variety of roles. In their earlier years, Seq walked in and coordinated kink fashion shows, sometimes performing on stage as well. While living in NYC and Long Island, NY, Seq had private play spaces and studios, and hosted private events, allowing peers to make use of an extensive collection of props and equipment. 

These days, Seq works with multiple nonprofit organizations to support strong consent culture both within and outside of our communities. Seq is a serial volunteer of sorts and you may encounter them hosting munches, developing/teaching consent curricula, moderating or offering community support at conferences, and advocating for the rights of alt-sex communities.

Hawk35 aka Nick

Nick is your average kinky person who has been around for longer than he likes to admit. His journey into kink started on the east coast in bars and basements doing what is now considered "western" bondage and flogger play. Over time, his interests expanded to include more shibari-influenced styles of bondage, blood play, needle play, CNC play, electro, and a wider range of impact. As he grew into his kink, he sought out educators who were skilled and credentialed (when possible) to learn from. He considers sharing the knowledge he's gathered a key part of giving back to his community. He has been a Board member and Board President of the CSPC, and is an educator, but always a student.

A lifelong educator, Skitty began teaching special education in her country of origin, Canada, before moving to the United States. Several years ago, Skitty had the privilege to transition to full-time volunteering, mostly within the sex-positive community. Throughout her life, Skitty has utilized the power of education to increase understanding and compassion and to empower individuals and communities. She is passionate about negotiation and consent. She began talking about sex back in 1994 in her volunteer role as a safer sex and transmission reduction educator for the Kingston AIDS Project and continues to do so as the current Board President for the Center for Sex Positive Culture.
