Fox&Badge at
NOISILY 2024
11 -14 July / Leicestershire, UK
Fox&Badge are curating a new space to bring some kinky, loving, and playful connectivity to Noisily Festival <3
We've been coming every year since we first came to give a workshop in 2016, and we love it. We deeply resonate with the warmth & creativity & open-ness of the community; its urge to celebrate the individual and cultivate understanding in the collective; its mission to bring both joy & healing, beauty and love.
Noisily feels a little like us - a family-run affair that started small, and grew in heart as it grew in size. Like us, it began with the music, and now - like the area we’re located in - nourishes the Mind Body & Soul (& Heart). We in turn feel increasingly more like a festival; a rich & nourishing space where you can explore multiple experiences alongside the music. Come by & explore!
You know, music is sex. It's a sensual driving mode that affects people if it's played a certain way. (Dick Dale)
We will be running our own tent with afternoon workshops from noon to 6:30 every evening, followed by Noisily’s first ever dungeon, which opens with a 730pm performance each night, followed by separately-ticketed and bookable private dungeon sessions - all run by our Resident Pro Dom.
We’re also providing some gorgeous music for everyone to settle into between our afternoon workshops - something alternative to the driving melodic techno of the main Noisily + other stages; a warm, thoughtful, relaxing embrace of beats & atmospherics, mostly purveyed by those many beautiful members of our F&B fam who also happen to be at Noisily.

FRIDAY
12-1:30 pm: Multi-Sensory Speed Friending
(Alex Haw & Lauren Katalinich)
Enough of the tedious small talk. There are much more memorable ways for us to get to know each other! In this sensual session, Fox&Badge will be encouraging guests to deploy the smorgasbord of all their senses - sight, sound, touch, smell & taste ;) - to connect and explore with one another. There's only so much you can learn through words - it's time to literally savour new connections!
2:30-4pm: Trickster’s Permission Slip
(Giulia Watson)
Every culture has a Trickster archetype in their mythology - a figure that brings chaos to the established order, causing mischief and mayhem to destroy old worlds and make way for the new. This sacred fool and "speaker of sacred profanities" is unapologetically driven by their carnal desires: un-tameable, un-shameable and full of Life. They ask of us all: What do we REALLY want? And how can we get it? This spirited workshop will use story and movement to unleash our inner Trickster and their ravenous appetites for life, exploring new modes of being that re-shape how we move through the world. Come, hear the Trickster’s tale…shake, howl, prowl, ferret, cackle, jig and fully let go!
5-6:30pm: Kinky Mummification
(Alex Haw & Lauren Katalinich)
Calling all adventurous kinksters, curious newbies (& submissive Egyptologists) - come experience the delights and sensual restrictions of contemporary (& reversible ;)) mummification.
Fox&Badge recently ran a theatrical Egyptian-themed event at Heaven, at which mummification was core to the kink offer, as well as some of the performances. This is your chance to submit to the tender embrace of our mummifying team as they gently immobilise the body parts of your choosing. Enjoy the bliss of surrender and travel to a world beyond as you are fully swaddled and encased in layer upon layer of cling.
SATURDAY
12-1:30 pm: Techno Medicine Singing Workshop
(Alex Haw & Lauren Katalinich)
Come explore the intersection between two of music's greatest jewels: TECHNO + MEDICINE; we’ll sing improvised medicine music songs - to techno! We believe we can all sing; we all have a song within us. This session - like all - is open to anyone, no matter what you think of your singing voice :)
We’d love singers and musicians of all forms to come together and ecstase in the delicious spirit of improvisation: sighing, murmuring, ohmming, toning, droning, wailing, screaming, harmonsiing, echoing, mirroring, flowing and aligning together, in all kinds of playful, imaginative and collaborative ways.
2:30-4pm: Seduction Games
(Secret Sauce Angel)
Seduction is at the heart of how we all channel our power and grace. Come unleash your creativity, flirt and have fun playing seduction games with other sexy beings.
Join sexpert and loveologist Inna Goncharenko to learn tips and tricks which can help you keep the spark in all your relationships.
5-6:30pm: Tying with Trees: Nature Shibari Demonstration
(Petite Pretzel & Xena)
Carl Sagan said "This oak tree and me, we're made of the same stuff." Come witness how our resident shibari rigger combines the two - and how the ancient practice of Japanese rope bondage intertwines with the majestic Noisily forest!
In this shibari demonstration, Petite Pretzel will be suspending the limbs of her bunny from the limbs of trees in a divine union of knots & nature, tree, rope and flesh.
(Her separate introduction workshop on Sunday then offers you the chance to learn the tecchnique of tying yourself).
SUNDAY
12-1:30 pm: Collective Multi-hand Massage
(Alex Haw & Lauren Katalinich)
We believe we all have the capacity to offer healing, loving touch; we each have a nurturer within us. Come explore the beauty of conscious touch and connection through multi-hand massage - both giving and receiving.
Come together and ecstase in the delicious spirit of co-creation - holding space, sharing presence, channeling love, dissolving boundaries, awakening intuition, and dancing with sensation in playful, imaginative and collaborative ways. Our session will begin in pairs and expand to groups of four. Like all our sessions, it is open to anyone - solo, paired or in group - whatever your level of massage experience.
2:30-4pm : Finding Your Inner Dom(me)
(Giulia Watson)
Curious about collaring, fantasizing about foot worship, dreaming of domination? In this workshop Giulia will guide you through the fundamentals of erotic dominance, in a safe, supportive, and judgement-free environment. Explore the psychological dynamics of power exchange, learn how to confidently assert your desires, and discover the thrill of leading your partner on a journey of sensual surrender.
Come learn practical skills for crafting captivating scenes, wielding erotic control, and tapping into your authentic dominant persona. Finding and embodying your inner Dom(me) is a transformative journey of self-discovery and empowerment. By embracing your Dominant energy, you'll not only spice up your sex life, but also develop a new level of confidence, assertiveness and poise that enriches your relationships and life.
5-6:30pm: Intro to Shibari Tying
(Petite Pretzel & Xena)
Are you curious about shibari, the Japanese art of rope bondage, and want to explore it in a sex-positive space? Join us for an introduction session where you can learn the basics of this beautiful, sensual and powerful practice.
Petite Pretzel, who has 8 years of rope bondage experience, will introduce you to the fundamental principles of shibari, including the importance of communication, safety, and consent. You will learn how to tie in a simple but effective way, and create a few basic ties on your partner.
This taster session is open to everyone, regardless of your level of experience or background. While you are welcome to attend solo, we recommend coming with a friend or with a partner.
