Dr. Diva
Dr. Diva
Dr. Diva is an actor and director for stage and film, performer and international workshop facilitator: Dirty Talk, Changing Reality, Shame, Self-love, Play Heaven and many more at Schwelle, Xplore, the Art of Love Festival, Sexolution and Into the Wild (Sydney) to name a few.
He is the creator and host of the Opium Berlin and SKIN events and has performed in various legendary clubs such as KitKat, Insomnia, Dark Side or Torture Garden London.
„My kink is connection. If you really see the other, if you are truly seen by the other – see means: really mean – there is a quantum leap in feeling, desire, lust and love.
And all that is so much greater than the perfect ass or the most beautiful eyes. It takes you away from ‘I want’ to a moment together, a magical dance, even if it’s only for one night.“
„I am fascinated by the huge, hidden potentials in us and the ways to set them free. My approach is playful – with ease, humor, empathy and love. Love for myself and people with all their facets.
My motto: I have got a thousand faces and all of them are true. (Henry Miller)“

Michelina & Sidonia
Michelina
Relationship Anarchist, Unicorn and cofounder of Zwischenwelten. Deeply fascinated about physical touch, people’s body’s and energy exchange between human beings.
I am on a neverending journey through the wonderful worlds of sexuality and passion. My biggest interests are BDSM, alternative forms of relationships and spirituality – the opportunities for personal development fascinates me the most.
I love to create spaces where people can get to know themselves and their own sexuality and grow their selfawareness.
Sidonia
I am a professional bodyworker and the cofounder of Zwischenwelten. I am deeply committed to trying to bring more self-acceptance, pleasure and love to the world with my work.
Sexuality, ropes, BDSM and erotic massages are some of my central passions in life. It never ceases to amaze me, how much healing and creativity hides behind our sexuality and how much different forms of physical touch can effect our states of being.

Event Details
Water can trigger very primal fears, such as not being able to breathe and loss of control. This workshop invites you to face those fears and will show ways and possibilities to adapt to the new conditions. You’ll learn to quietly embrace and – very likely! – to love the unfamiliar element. Together we’ll explore the exceptional place where fear disappears, replaced by positive new experiences.
We don’t go to extremes: Playing with water is a unique way of showing and exchanging elementary feelings: Trust. Security. Calmness. Opening up.
Topics will include:
– Resistance and physical control in water
– The calmness of not breathing
– Facing your fears: Breath control with (and in) water
– Restriction in water: Trusting our partner
– BDSM play with water: Different options
– Physiological and unfamiliar aspects: What happens with your body under water?
Safety and getting acquainted with water under the special conditions of BDSM will be an important issue. And we’ll be available to answer your questions associated with water- and breathplay.
Practical Info:
Please bring a spare T-Shirt that could get wet.
Optional: Neopren suit or shirt, a pair of swim goggles, perhaps a nose clip (if you are sensitive to getting water into your nose) or a diving mask.

Event Details
Water invites us to play and to experiment with our bodies under significantly altered conditions. When we wrestle in water, we realize that the physical conditions we normally rely on have dramatically changed. The most important aspects are: breathing, weightlessness, the fact that we don’t have to be afraid of hurting ourselves by falling, and the slowing down of our motions as a result of the water’s resistance.
Many tactics that were promising outside the pool don’t work anymore – at least not in exactly the same way. But on the other hand we gain new possibilities. Water wrestling is a consensual confrontation that allows us to feel our power and our partner’s power, and to experience how physical we are in a unique, intense way.
Safety and getting acquainted with water under the special conditions of playful wrestling will be an important issue.
Practical Info:
Optional: Neopren suit or shirt, a pair of swim goggles, perhaps a nose clip (if you are sensitive to getting water into your nose) or a diving mask.

Event Details
This event is a workshop, it is performance art and a play space, all in one. The event is part of Felix’ research on the creation of „Magical Spaces“: you are invited to come and to co-create a touching and exciting group experience, which also will be spectacularily beautiful to observe, if you prefer to stay on the sidelines – which is absolutely possible!
The princess offers you an opportunity to meet yourself and others on a profoundly human level, letting go of shame and fear, of superficial behaviour, pretentious talk and make belief.
You are invited to share with others the core of yourself, your sexual body, your sexual identity, your sexual story. You are invited to dive deep into your sexual history and explore all aspects of your past, present and even future sex life. The method introduces a conscious approach to negative emotions, to embody those emotions and to express them in a performative way, navigating a self induced state of trance. The process will provide you with a new perspective on yourself and change your relationship to others as well.
You will find that no sexuality is the same, and that fantasies out of the norm and kinky desires are much more common than what you would expect. You might experience the pain and frustration that often is strongly linked to the sexual body, and you might allow yourself to accept and welcome these negative aspects and transform them. Despite being conditioned by living in a sex-negative, patriarchal society and despite the fact that our collective bodymind has suffered from thousands of years of indoctrination, you might also discover how surprisingly easy it is often, to let go of mental restrictions and physical inhibitions and to find joy, pleasure and beauty within yourself.

Felix Ruckert
Felix Ruckert
Felix Ruckert is a dancer, choreographer, conceptual artist and curator. He creates events, performs, gives lectures and teaches workshops, often fusing his knowledge from dance with an unique approach to practices of BDSM and conscious sexuality. He also enjoys making music.
He started as a dancer working with several renowned companies (Mathilde Monnier, Pina Bausch’s Wuppertaler Tanztheater) before concentrating on choreography, conceptual work and choreographic installations. Between 1993 and 2008 he created more than 30 evening length performances for his Berlin based company; some of those toured worldwide.
He strongly influenced the performing arts by expanding the stage to the physical body of the audience and giving it an active role in his performances.
His experimental dance pieces, his participatory work and his choreographies for ballet companies earned him an international reputation as one of the most versatile and innovative contemporary choreographers.
Felix main interests are the endless possibilities of the human body. He studied Ballet, Modern and Contemporary dance, Improvisation, Feldenkrais, Pilates, Continuum Movement, Yoga, Chi Kung, Kyudo, Tao Yoga, Massage techniques, Tantra, Kinbaku, Choir and Solo Singing and much more.
In the last twenty years he became well known for his practical and theoretical investigation of BDSM and the exploration of connections between BDSM techniques and artistic practices, developing an art of touch and a philosophy of sensual communication.
From 2007 to 2016 he directed the art venue schwelle7 in Berlin as a fusion of a kinky club, a dance studio and a private living room: a permanent performance on the threshold between the private and the public. schwelle7 also produced many performances and workshops with Japanese masters and therefore played a major role in the popularization of Kinbaku – Japanese Rope Bondage- in Europe.
Since 2004 Felix directs the annual festival xplore in Berlin and curates its international branches, with 31 editions in seven countries so far. Since 2012 he also directs EURIX – The European Rigger&Model Exchange, a bi-annual festival in Berlin dedicated to the development of Rope Bondage as an art form.

Divine Putain
Divine Putain
Divine Putain started performing with Shibari Circus in 2011.
Shibari Circus was a company showcasing acts mixing bondage and theatre in a very unique grotesque and bizarre atmosphere.
Shibari Circus soiled the main European stages, such as BoundUK, Saint Petersbourg, Moscou, Geneve, Cabaret Rouge Nancy, Cabaret bizarre Munich, Zurich and Basel….
Sanely Insane
Divine Putain is now pursuing his exploration of the so called alternatives orientations. On stage, it changes identities, gender-bending from male to succubus, and from tranvestite to animal, to display the various dimensions of edgy sexualities with humor and a certain strangeness.
But so sexy
Throughout all his shows it always aims to achieve something else than a shocking and gratuitous performance, but instead to question and disrupt its audience views on self-expression, gender, norms, rôles, pain, consciousness and good taste.
These last years, Divine Putain has bewitched and bemused the audiences of major stages as well as small alternative venues and art galeries in France and Europe such as Wasteland (Amsterdam, Berlin), Torture Garden (Geneva), Cabaret Bizarre (Basel, Lausane), Luxuria (Budapest), Sneaky Sneaky (Paris), or Festivals as Château Perché, Nowhere and many more.
Because sound and music are major parts of its universe, Divine Putain works closely with the electronic musician Pembek
Divine Putain also worked as a director and illustrator for Schneckewurst, a collective of sex-anarchists displaying a baroque, twisted and wicked vision of sexuality
