HELD is a facilitated cuddle container built around one rope suspension, performed by Sir Pocketz and staged to be seen from everywhere in the room. The night moves in a single arc: words, then small touch, then the nest, then the witness, then a long hold. We open in circle with agreements and introductions, then work through four relating games that escalate gently — conversation, noticing, eye contact, and finally asking for something you actually want and hearing a real yes or a real no. By the time the nest forms, the room is not strangers anymore. Then the lights drop, bodies come down onto the floor, and the suspension happens in the middle of the room. You watch it from inside the pile. That is the whole idea of this night: you are being held while you watch someone else be held. Afterwards the floor stays open for a long, slow hold, then a closing circle and aftercare. What this is: clothing-optional, and completely nonsexual. A sober space, in a private venue. Bedding provided. One photographer is present for the performance only — never the nest, never the floor. No rope experience needed, and you will not be tied. Address released after purchase.
