Come stock up for your sexiest year yet! ________________________________________________________________________ In a world that still feels structured for those who fit within a ‘normative’ society, we are passionate about disrupting stigmas & taboos around sexual empowerment, different relationships/dynamics & erotic expression, & empowering self-love, self-expression & self-acceptance. To X-POSE (expose) is to challenge social norms: In some contexts, particularly within counter-culture or artistic movements, "expose" can be seen as a rebellious act—the shedding of inhibitions or the bringing to light of things that society wants to keep hidden. This is where you get a sense of "freedom" or "unmasking". We feel there is a need for more eros- and erotic arts-aligned events in Cape Town that are not purely focused on the rave elements of ‘sex party’ culture, but rather intentionally curated experiences that are simultaneously sexy and safe, in a way that builds an empowered, educated and conscious experience. Important Notes: 1. Please ensure that you have read through and fully understood our House Rules (found below) before purchasing your ticket. Any violation of the House Rules may lead to your immediate expulsion from the event with no refund, blacklisting from all future X-Series events, and/or further prosecution. 2. We will have detailed Safety & Comfort Protocols that will be communicated on social media in advance, sent to all ticket holders leading up to the event, and displayed at the door, ticketing check-in and throughout the venue. You can find a summarised version of the Safety & Comfort Protocols below. 3. Whilst this event aims to encourage exploration & new experiences, it is not a play party, nor will any frontal nudity be permitted. We are gender-neutrally shirtless-friendly. 4. Upon arrival you will need to check in with your ticket, a physical form of legal ID that matches the details on your ticket, and sign an acknowledgement form confirming that you have read, understood and will abide by all House Rules & Safety & Comfort protocols. 5. If you are buying tickets for multiple people, please ensure that you input unique and accurate names & ID numbers for each individual. Duplicate tickets may not be used for other individuals. Entrance will only be permitted if the name and ID # on the ticket match the name and ID #. 6. This is a femme- and queer-focused space, and so the safety of those people is of paramount importance to our team.

General Safety: • Safety & Comfort Team Members will be scattered throughout the venue, including the ticketing checkpoint, roving the dancefloor, at the stage area, at the bar, and at the Bodacious Booths. They will be clearly identifiable & pointed out on the night. Head to them with any safety or comfort concerns. • The universal hand signal for ‘help’ will be clearly visible on all S&C Protocols posters. • If you see any behaviour that appears inappropriate or unconsensual, audience members encouraged to ‘see something, say something’ by either: • Approaching a S&C team member with their concern • Raising their hand straight up, standing still, and repeating the universal hand signal for 'help'. Encourage others around you to do the same. • If you see the hand signal go up and you are close by (within 5 people), raise your hand and repeat the hand signal so that the S&C team can easily locate the person/s in need. Incident Process: • Any allegations of misconduct or breach of the House Rules will be treated with absolute priority. We will default to believing & supporting the alleged victim of the incident within the venue. • The alleged victim will be taken backstage to a private staff-only area immediately and supported with whatever they feel they need. • If there is no clear evidence of a crime, the alleged perpetrator will nonetheless be immediately removed from the venue, their information already captured, and they will be blacklisted. Should the victim/s choose to pursue further legal action, we will also provide the investigating officer with the alleged perpetrator's details. • If there is clear, arrestable evidence of a crime, the police will be called and the alleged perpetrator will be held (where safe & possible) until the police arrive. Should the victim/s choose to pursue further legal action, we will also provide the investigating officer with the alleged perpetrator's details. • If after the event the alleged perpetrator would like to contest their blacklisting, they can do so by emailing [email protected] with a detailed explanation of the situation, and why they believe that they in no way contravened the House Rules or Safety & Comfort Protocols. Final decision remains with the organisers. • Disclaimer: X-POSE, Roxy Woodstock, Bodacious, South Pole, Raunchy Renditions, and any of their agents, subsidiaries, service providers, staff, volunteers or representatives do not accept any liability or responsibility for the attendance, actions of attendees, staff or performers, or any consequences arising out of attendance, including but not limited to theft, loss, libel, injury, sickness or death.
