Intro to Verbal Humiliation: Off the Cuff, On Your Knees

with Dolly Diatima

a live and recorded online class from Wicked Grounds

5/23 2pm Pacific

Words can sting. Words can seduce. In the right hands, they can do both at once.

In this class, we will explore verbal humiliation through the lens of improv comedy, and you’ll learn how to use “yes and” to make them say “yes, mistress” or “yes, sir.” Using techniques like commitment, quick decision-making, and bold choices, you will learn how to build connections, stay in control, and maintain chemistry.

Throughout the class, we will build skills in tone, pacing, eye contact, and volume, and discuss how to use these tools to create a playful cruelty that feels collaborative and consensual rather than just mean.

By the end of the class, you will be able to move without hesitation, use your voice without apology, and create a very special tension that will hum and vibrate throughout your entire dynamic or scene.

Once you find your voice, you won’t want to hold it back.
