Tempo: Building and releasing tension for a bigger bang

Composing a powerful scene is a collaboration between dominant and submissive, composer and instrument. Part of that collaboration is finding the right rhythm, the building and release of tension that stokes the player’s anticipation of what is to come, and the judgment to know when the time is right for the climax. From edging, to fear play, to sadism, learning how to ramp up anticipation by playing with intensity can help make for longer, more satisfying scenes without overdoing anyone’s stamina. In this workshop, we’ll practice finding the key tension points to play with to build suspense and practice ratcheting up and releasing tension to build anticipation in a scene.
