CD and Past Work
Thirsty Desert CD
Out of a Thirsty Desert comes a sound…richly layered vocal harmonies of amazing texture and rhythm creating a moving and evocative soundscape of powerful intensity. Crossing musical and cultural borders, Bisia blends inspired vocal improvisations and percussion to express a freedom with sound that celebrates what one voice can do.
The CD release celebration included “Out of One” a collaborative dance performance at the Belfry Arts Centre in 2001.

“Negotiating Heaven” Video
In June of 2008, Bisia was part of a 10 day film intensive that focused on live art and performative video works.
The Engaged Body workshop was taught by respected educator and performance artist Judith Price. From a 20 minute performance piece Bisia made a short video, “Negotiating Heaven,” (view the video).

Bisia and the Jackson St. Trio
The Jackson St. Trio, a triligual gypsy jazz quartet, was another three year project that kept Bisia’s vocals skills well-oiled and tuned.
At the same time, she continued to teach and integrate her knowledge and experience into staff development and conference workshops for a wide range of caregivers.
Raven/Shapeshifter
In October of 2003, Bisia produced and performed, with Lynda Raino, Denise Lieutaghi, Natasha Bird, and the Big Dance Troupe in a collaborative vocal performance and art exhibit, called RAVEN/SHAPESHIFTER at the Fran Willis Gallery.
This event was a tribute and benefit for Hospice Victoria – exploring shape shifting as the constant in our lives. The artists whose work was an integral part of the show were: Frances Semple, Miles Lowry (sculptural works) and Karel Doruyter, Ken Flett, Joe Coffey and Charles Malinsky (paintings).
