“An emotionally distraught person’s body is twisted , contracted and breathless,. You can change a person’s emotional state by changing their breathing pattern.” ~ Gay Hendricks author of the Art of Intimacy.
This quote has been an inspiration to me for a long time and it supported my belief that improvisational singing and movement are a very accessible tool to help people change their minds. For over 20 years, VoiceWorks has been offering voice and movement fusion drop in classes that have helped people discharge their stress and rebalance their nervous systems. The times they are a changing and so it is with SoundBody studio.
This offering is here to help you move forward, to reconnect with yourself and find a way to move through the complex emotions that we are dealing with.
It is a tool, where the discipline of music provides the framework whereby your unexpressed feelings can be expressed. Where your emotional content is put into rhythm and time, into melody and into movement.
It is a strategy to discharge the charge that is building inside of us.
It is the release valve that is readily accessible to transform the stress that we are all feeling.
- 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?
“Move past the stress, reset your confidence and become curious again.
Express your sound, your movement, your gesture through VoiceWorks.
Let your emotion connect with melody, time, rhythm and space.
And discharge the charge that keeps you locked in and frozen in place.”
TESTIMONIALS
“Working with Bisia has been a ‘body’ opening experience. As a movement and bodyworker myself, I have always considered myself to be very aware of sensations and movement, but the way that Bisia has incorporated sound, tone and beat to movement has allowed me permission to really tap into my feelings and true desires in a visceral way. This will definitely become part of my everyday practice in order to stay connected to my true self by letting my body and voice compose my message. Thank you Bisia!”

“The heart of Voice Works is still there online. Along with heart, there is connection, the joy of spontaneous creation, and the flow of genuine meaning. It’s a delight to know that we haven’t lost the chance to connect with each other in meaningful and joyous ways when we meet to make music online.”
~ Kerri
“Great working with Bisia one-on-one. Interestingly, I left our visit uplifted and empowered to practice on my own. Sweet treat to receive personal attention and to vocalize with another. Thank you Bisia for expanding your offerings in this way. It really helped me feel less alone during this time of physical distancing.
