This multi-track event is suitable both for newcomers and advanced participants. ** Brown Bag Munch (11:30 am - 12:30 pm) Attendees are encouraged to pack up their feed bags (or pick up some "to go" locally), and join us in a Brown Bag Munch that will be held from 11:30 AM, when the doors open, until 12:30 PM, when the workshops begin. ** Meet-n-Greet (12:00 - 12:30 pm) In the second half of the munch, we'll do a round of introductions, so we know who's who in the menagerie. We'll also introduce our panelists for the afternoon's workshops. ** Workshops (12:30 - 6:00 pm): We'll have a full schedule of workshops, panels, and exercises for participants, including: ** A General Overview of Animal Role Play This introductory session will lay the foundation for the day's workshops, discussing several aspects of animal role play, and why we are drawn to it. ** A dual track of "how-to" sessions by Role: * "How-Tos" for Owners/Handlers/Trainers Designed for the person working work with the human animal, giving useful tips for understanding animal headspace, and how to help your animal go there. We'll also cover practical "how to" information on training, animal gear and equipment, the care and grooming of your animal, and what you need to know to get started. * "How-Tos" for Animals Designed for those who are interested in exploring animal headspace. We'll discuss how to find and understand your totem animal, how to achieve animal headspace and what its like. We'll also discuss the wide realm of gear and garb that can be used in animal role play. ** A triple track of "how-to" sessions by "Species" * "How-Tos" for Pony and Equine players * "How-Tos" for Puppy and Dog players * "How-Tos" for those who play as/with other species In these "species-specific" sessions, experienced players will provide information targeted towards playing with, or being, the animal of choice. There will be demos and exercises to help attendees better understand the experience of animal role play. ** Animal Role Play Opportunities In this series of four mini-sessions, we'll talk about events, venues and groups and resources available to animal role players - and ways to create your own opportunities for animal role play. ** Furs / Furries This session explores the world of furs / furries - the similarities and differences with Animal Role Play. Attendees will see examples of furries in videos, anime, and have a chance to see an exhibit of a variety of fursuits. = = Immediately following the workshops, attendees usually have dinner together at a nearby restaurant, and then return to SF Citadel for the evening party at 8:00 pm.
