The Risque Room (Topless Open Mic) - Feb 8th

from $70.00

DATE: SUNDAY FEB 8th

LOCATION: TRAINSCENDANCE, COLLINGWOOD.

TIME: ARRIVAL BETWEEN 7:30-8pm (DOORS CLOSE AT 8:15pm) - 12am FINISH

Tender Core has always been alive — shapeshifting, expanding, listening, responding.

At its heart, Tender Core is here to meet people where they are and offer what’s needed in the moment: more liberation, a clearer inner compass, deeper intimacy with self and others. Supporting you to remember that your pleasure matters, that your capacity to thrive in this life is vast and limitless…. ITS truly my life’s purpose.

With that spirit, I’m so excited to introduce Tender Core’s newest evolving container:

- The Risqué Room -

The Risqué Room will host a series of ever-changing, embodied experiences. Each iteration will be different, guided by the collective energy of the people who gather and the desires that want to move through the space.

And so… behold the first iteration.

The Risqué Room: Topless Open Mic

This is a FEMES queer-centred space… HOWEVER open to people of all genders and sexualities. We must heal togther. guidelines will be put in place. Those outside of the ‘feme or queer’ bracket are attending knowing that they are coming into a queer feme space and are encouraged to act accorningly. This is radical chance to heal together. x

The intention is simple yet edgey:

  • To practice being semi-nude together

  • To practice being seen in intimacy

  • To normalise our bodies

  • To gently desexualise bodies

  • To cultivate comfort, creativity, and self-expression while topless

Everyone is on their own jounrey towards loving their bodies, Its not an isolated experiecne, its a shared humane experience. If we want to love our bodies, we must practice being with them — sharing them, showing them, destigmazising them and creating with them.

How the evening will flow:

  • We arrive clothed

  • Together, we strip down

  • Both the audience and performers will be topless

There will be:

  • 1 featured performer

  • 10 open mic spots available to sign up on the night

No experience is necessary.

You’re invited to share poetry, a song, erotica, a story, movement, dance, or any expression that feels true to you. This is not about polish or perfectionism, it’s about having a go, its about authenticity and leaning into the unknown.

I’ll be hosting, holding, and guiding the space throughout the night. At the beginning of the evening, I’ll share clear, non-negotiable agreements to help us co-create a container that feels as safe, respectful, and nourishing as possible — one that encourages growth rather than fear.

Please arrive with:

  • An open mind

  • A soft heart

  • No judgement (towards yourself or others)

  • And, if it feels right, a piece you’d like to share

This is an invitation to be seen.
To witness.
To play.
To soften.
To expand.

BUNDLE:

  • The Risqué Room exists because play, creativity, embodiment, and intimacy deserve their own stage. Tender Core is all about shapeshifting containers that respond to what people truly need, and this space is no exception.

    It’s for those who want to explore their pleasure, express themselves boldly, and connect deeply with a community that celebrates difference, creativity, and vulnerability. This is not just another night out — it’s a container to practice showing up fully, safely, and joyfully, while discovering new ways to move, create, and connect.

    Each Risqué Room event is ever-changing, shaped by the energy of the people in the room. You never know what might happen — a spontaneous performance, a whispered conversation, or a shared laugh that becomes unforgettable. This is your invitation to step in and be part of something alive, playful, and intentionally risqué.

    An opportunity to be in a space of intimacy that doesnt require touch or sexual energy.

  • The Topless Open Mic is a radical experiment in comfort, creativity, and self-expression. The goal is simple but transformative: to normalize our bodies, desexualize nudity, and expand your confidence in being seen.

    By being topless — whether performing or spectating — we create a shared space where bodies are celebrated for what they are, not how they are sexualized. It’s a queer-focused, gender-inclusive environment that encourages:

    • Authentic self-expression

    • Playful, non-judgmental embodiment

    • Connection across difference

    • Courage to experiment and create

    This is a different type of experience for you to step into on your pleasure jounrey. Many tender core events involve pyshical touch. This one does not. This is another avenue towards your liberation… freedom isnt just your sexuality.. its creative expression, being seen and advancing into the artsit of your own life!

  • The Risqué Room is for anyone who wants to play, explore, and expand their embodiment and self-expression in a queer-forward, body-positive environment.

    Queer Centered (any gender) - All Sexualities Invited. All babes welcome, just be respectful AF

    This includes people who:

    • Want to practice confidence and comfort in their bodies, semi-nude, in a safe, non-judgmental space

    • Are curious about performance, movement, poetry, music, or creative expression

    • Those curious to attend a Tendercore event but havent been avalible to you gender yet

    • Those curious to attend Tender Core but not ready for touch yet.

    • Desire real connection, intimacy, and authentic conversations beyond the typical party scene

    • Identify as woman, queer person, trans, non-binary, or any gender/sexuality, but all identities are welcome.

      • Are cismen. (scandalous i know ) - we welcome the healing that comes with learning to cultivated safely together. Men attending will be made aware of their presence requiring extra sensitivity.

    • Are looking for a playful, embodied, and safe community experience

    • Want to stretch themselves creatively and personally while supported by quinn and held by the group.

    No previous experience is required — whether you want to perform, spectate, or just be present, this container is for anyone willing to show up with curiosity, openness, and consent.

    It’s for the risk-takers, the shy ones, the bold, the playful, and the tender-hearted. It’s for people who know that pleasure, play, and self-expression are essential to thriving in life and who are ready to practice that in real time.
