Informed Consent and Release Form.

V for Vicious Project (V4V) is a Research-Based exploration of Taboo, Ethical Power Exchange, and Transformation through Collaborative Performance and Co-Created Dialogue, addressing themes of Intimacy, Dominance, and Submission, as Embodied Languages.

This form is for the purposes of establishing mutual clarity, informed consent, and safety — to be signed at time of session.

V4V is an independent artistic production owned and directed by Kait Vicious.

V4V is not an employer, and participation does not constitute employment; no W-2s, 1099s, or other tax documents will be issued.

V4V Collaborators are not agents of the project in any way, shape, or form: Do not speak on the project’s behalf, outside of Collaboration itself, and do not act on the project’s behalf, outside of Collaboration itself.

Proof of identity is required to share media on subscriber channels — if you do not have a driver’s license or other legal identification, please email meow@vforvicious.com directly to arrange an alternative verification process.

Informed Consent.

By participating, I acknowledge that:

  • I am voluntarily engaging in a research-based performance art project exploring themes of Ethical Power Exchange, Ascribed Status, Social Mobility, Intimacy, Taboo, and Identity.

  • I understand that while the project may draw from Kink + BDSM language or frameworks, it is not a sexual exchange.

  • I have the right to withdraw consent at any time, without penalty or explanation.

I understand that all participation — verbal, written, visual, or performance — may be documented for archival and artistic purposes with my explicit permission.

  • I consent to participate in V for Vicious Project.

  • I understand the boundaries and context of the work.

  • I may opt in or out of documentation (photo/video/interview) separately.

Boundaries.

All collaborators are expected to respect the following:

  • Autonomy: “No” and “Stop” will always be honored immediately.

  • Confidentiality: All personal information remains private unless mutually agreed upon for public use, not including, performance footage, stills, dialogues, artworks, BTS.

  • Non-contact: Physical touch occurs only when explicitly negotiated and agreed upon in writing prior to beginning the Dialogue or Performance.

  • Check-ins: Check-ins are for the purposes of maintaining attunement throughout the Dialogue and/or Performance. Collaborators are responsible for informing Kait Vicious of their desired frequency before co-creating.

Safe Words.

  • Strawberry = Stop immediately

  • Pineapple = Pause and assess

  • Kiwi = Continue, consent affirmed

  • I understand and agree to these safe words.

  • I will communicate clearly if I need to pause, stop, or renegotiate any activity.

Expectations.

Participants agree to uphold the following:

  • Approach all interactions with mutual respect, curiosity, and emotional responsibility.

  • Refrain from behavior rooted in aggression, coercion, or manipulation.

  • Arrive grounded and sober — no intoxicants during sessions.

  • Allow space for debriefing or emotional integration if intense experiences arise.

  • Understand that V (artist/facilitator) holds the creative and ethical container, not authority over the participant’s autonomy.

  • Understand the expectations and agree to uphold them.

Documentation + Visibility.

  • Collaborators are credited and presented on V4V Official Website, including their Bio, Artist Statement, and Portrait.

  • Collaborators understand that there are no personal recordings permitted.

  • Collaborators consent to the sharing of any stills and clips on V4V digital and social media platforms and website, according to boundaries mutually agreed upon.
