Topping - How To Get A Scene Started, And How To Keep It Going

Saturday September 1st, 2007
4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
at Paradise 2007 in Redmond, Washington

Many of us - especially those new to topping - find the hardest part of making a scene work is getting it started.

This workshop will help you get past that first few minutes, and is full of techniques you can use to start strongly and to keep the scene flowing when you run into the inevitable bumps and hitches.

Topics to be covered include scene planning, using negotiation to jump-start a scene, maintaining momentum and dealing with problems, interruptions and unexpected twists.  We'll also present a model you can use to examine your own topping style and objectives.

As with all of Max's workshops, a handout will be provided to facilitate your learning and retention.
