Fearless Vampire Killers Workshop with Pretty Deadly Self Defense / Susie Kahlich

Vampires are some of the most direct representations of Patriarchy in our modern mythology, and this workshop tears them down! In this workshop, we'll be learning the most powerful self defense moves from the most iconic vampire killers (and sometimes vampires themselves), from the great Buffy Summers to Lauren in Bit. We'll learn how to sling holy water, creative uses for a crucifix, and how to wield a stake like a sword*, defending against single and multiple vampires at once.

Susie Kahlich is the founder of Pretty Deadly Self Defense, a user-friendly self defense system she developed based on her 20+ years of Ninjutsu training, her experience as a violent crime survivor and her training in storytelling. She is certified in DV awareness and support from University of Sheffield, and trained in CBT.

Susie has been teaching self defense since 2009 across the US and Europe, and has worked with violent crime survivors, trauma victims and refugee and immigrant communities on three different  continents and in multiple cities around the world. She has given seminars and private workplace consultations on sexual harassment policies for tech start-ups, corporate media, co-working spaces , thinktanks and blockchain companies in Europe and the UK.

Due to COVID we think it’s still important to take care of each other - and we want every one of you to feel safe.

That’s why we kindly ask you to test yourself at home before coming to the cinema if you’re able to, and to stay at home if you feel sick.

Thank you 💚
