Dollification – Art of Passive Play (Julius and Anamnese)
Did you ever want to be a doll and let someone play with you? Or want to be able to use someone as a doll? Dream to have an experience on ultimate surrender and objectification? Dollification facilitates extreme passive play, total control as well as playing with fetishes, objectification and gender.
What do you need to be able to be a good doll? How about inventing dolls and their mechanics? How about choreographing an erotic scene with dolls? What will happen, when you have to be really there to be able to read your doll?
Dollification is a playset where a person is mentally and physically ‘’transformed’ into a living doll. The doll’s purpose is to provide pleasure and happiness to the owner. In this workshop the pleasure can be sexual. The doll-like person adopts a submissive role and enjoys being toyed with while the dominant puppet player is aroused by the control that they exert over the doll. Sexual objectification is the act of treating another person as an instrument for sexual pleasure.
Being a doll and playing with a doll deals with role-play, power-exchange and the power of transformation. It focuses on the aspects of control and being controlled in a playful, creative environment.
We will start with an introduction, followed by exercises, negotiations, try-outs and play-scenes.
If you have already found your doll, your costume, your puppet player – don’t hesitate to bring them with you!

Workshop description
Let me be your fantasy: The truth behind the peak – before and after (Mareen Scholl & Juliette Caryl Morgan)
You know what you want and what you desire. Your fantasies and sexual experiences celebrate the most exciting and familiar scripts and images.
But have you ever wondered what lies before and after these condensed moments of heightened arousal and peak? Have you ever considered what initiates the birth of your erotic impulse? And if you expand the timeline into the past and future, where does this take you? And how do these extended scenarios influence and transform your familiar fantasies?
In this mini workshop we will open the realms of past, present and future. You are invited to move freely between the three dimensions. This expansion of the timeline enables you to creatively design and explore different aspects and qualities of your fantasy. In this way, you can enhance and intensify your pleasure or transform and deconstruct your fantasy.
New and unexpected narratives may arise. An intimate relationship to the underlying emotions, needs and desires can develop. Protagonists and creatures that once served as mere functional objects to fuel your arousal, may become tangible subjects, inviting a new form of interaction.
How would you like to prepare for your peak experience? What is your perfect prelude? How can the others support you with this? How would you like it to end and what happens in the aftermath? Maybe you wish to be nourished or receive after care?
You will explore your fantasy with a team of nerdy supporters, who will help you stage your scenarios of interest and desire.
This is a 3-hour workshop. You can only attend for the entire duration. You may drop in for a shorter time only as an observer.
