VOICE + MOVEMENT FUSION
Fusing together voice & movement as a strategy to maintain physical, emotional & mental wellbeing.
Welcome to SoundBody Studio
SoundBody is a somatic practice that invites you to connect and step into the body (and into yourself). Centre yourself using self-awareness, self-massage, and energetic sensing to foster connection and explore movement, as it relates to physical and emotional tension. SoundBody awareness exercises prompt muscles and bones to realign, the nervous system to reset, and then breathe and energy can flow. This unobstructed energy is the root of expression for all the different SoundBody practices.
“Step into yourself and your body, your movement, then allow your breath to have voice, your voice to have emotion, and your emotion to compose itself through improvisational music.”
Sensing Anatomy: Flesh, Bones & Space. Learn to better sense your anatomy through interactive, hands-on self-care and movement workshops. Relieve the aches and pains that come with engaging your body in repetitive patterns.
VocalBody Arts offerings transform the stresses of daily living into song and the seeds of performance art. Improve your mental health & get creative, all while exploring your sense of self through connection with others and free vocal expression.
Through the integration of voice, movement, music and multi-media visuals and effects Bisia Belina has been creating co-operative and independent performance pieces since 1976.
