Vittoria Hell
DUNGEON MASTER, BDSM & KINK EDUCATOR, MINDFULNESS & MINDFUL ART TEACHER
Vittoria Hell is dedicated to spreading the word about kink and BDSM throughout Italy and abroad. You can find her doing so on Instagram, on TikTok, and at the events she organizes at HEL Dungeon.
As an artist herself, she guides people through creative exercises and workshops to find their submissive or dominant sides, as well as connect with their bodies and minds.
Mistress Thalia Hel
PRO-DOMME, EVENT ORGANISER, SEX AND KINK COACH
Mistress Thalia Hel is a sensual sadist and dominant empath interested in exploring human nature and sexuality by creating personalised experiences. Her jam are BDSM therapy sessions that free you from limitations, judgement, guilt, shame, insecurities and anxieties of everyday roles.
Mistress Rita Goldman-Hel
PRO-DOMME, EVENT ORGANISER, CONFIDANTÈ
Mistress Rita Goldman-Hel is a soft Dom, by that meaning her amplua is moderate, gentle and gradual practices, although there are equal chances she may become your femme fatale or a playful girl enjoying the power and authority given to her, or firm and relentless Dominatrix.
Nevertheless, pure caring, sense of humour, a little bit of sarcasm and lots of teasing is her style. Femdom sessions and trustful communication as a way for you to explore yourself, variety and spectrum of feelings and impressions and discuss and deliberate any topic. Trust, safety, sanity, consent and discretion are the cornerstones not only of BDSM, but any kind of human interaction.
Jānis
DOMINANT, RIGGER, EVENT ORGANISER
With a spark in his eyes, Jānis is at first glance calm and peaceful. But if you are not attentive enough, all of a sudden you might realise ropes and nets, and knots and ties are all around the space, ready to imprison you.
A sleeping Sadist. An accordant and compatible submissive has proper odds to unlock the greatest adventure.
Feels, sees and understands the body language of the submissive during action. Forever loyal to shibari.
Ørjan Varøy
KINKSTER, HEDONIST
Ørjan Varøy is experienced with many parts of BDSM as he values exploration and satisfaction highly, and always want to find new things to both bring and receive joy. He has been an active member in the BDSM community since 2014, first in Oslo then in Riga.
Ørjan is social, and considers the BDSM community his home, with lovely and inspirational people who have a lot of warmth and space in their hearts. The best compliment he can get is "I did not know I would like that".
He is also trying to reduce his use of sexual innuendos, but he finds it hard. So very hard...
Affinity Starr
INTERNATIONAL BURLESQUE PERFORMER, TEACHER, PRODUCER
She was one of the very first burlesque performers in the Baltics, a pioneering performer who brings a old Hollywood razzle-dazzle and some silliness to the stage. Affinity is a fire-hearted, fair-headed fierce vintage vixen. „Glitter, tease, and glamour – fun, and drama all in one.“
It all began at the start of the last decade, when she discovered the thrilling possibilities of burlesque by visiting the Helsinki Burlesque Festival. She fell in love with the art, and started working towards becoming a performer. Her debut was in 2011. In 2014 she made her first international appearance at "Sinsational Spring Awakening" in Helsinki and has been performing all over Europe ever since, in festivals and private events alike. She is also the only Estonian burlesque performer that won a crown at the Croatian Burlesque and Cabaret Festival 2017 in the category "Classic Burlesque".
