Sensing Anatomy: 3-Hour Workshop

Understanding and getting a ‘felt sense’ of your tension patterns in stillness and in movement.
Relieving the aches and pains that come with engaging your body in repetitive patterns.
Re-integrating, re-balancing and re-connecting with your whole body by connectivity and relationship between parts to whole.

VoiceWorks with Bisia ONLINE!

It’s fun! It’s vocal improvisation and empowerment: claim your voice, learn to improvise, make up your own music, and did I mention fun? And it’s good for what ails you. It’s a great way to sing out despair, frustration, etc, and transform it through rhythm and time. All welcome.

Fees (includes GST): $40 for 60 mins
Sessions longer than 60 minutes are charged at a rate of $10 per 15 minute increment (introductory rate, subject to change).

Format: Depending on your access and comfort level with virtual technology we can use FaceTime, Zoom, WhatsApp or HouseParty for our session.

Time Slots Available: 11 am, 4 pm, or 7:30 pm

Progression: We will start the process with 2 or 3 one-on-one personal online vocal coaching sessions. From there we will transition to working together in “vocal online pods,” with 3 to 4 singers to a pod.

These are collaborative composition sessions. (Recording device recommended).

Here are examples of the explorations that are offered in the one-on-one sessions:

What if you began with acknowledging what you feel and sang it in the blues style?
What if you changed the tune to a gospel, a spiritual, a rap, a scat?
What if you took your ‘present emotional content’ and put it in time?
How would that change you? How would your feelings change?
