VoxBody Studio

VoxBody Studio, a woman-owned company, commenced in Oakland in the spring of 2017. This is a space for voice and body. Voxbody Studio believes that voices and bodies have a lot to say and that we shape them by voicing and embodying them. The company, like the world it reflects, is always evolving. As the body informs the voice and the voice shapes the body, we also strive to create a safe and inclusive environment in which to share these truths. Monthly rope classes are available for everyone, from beginners to experts. There is a wide variety of programming available, including acting, yoga, drawing, and occasional non-rope classes. Additionally, we offer discussion groups, lab time, performance events, and talkback sessions (also available to arrange). We believe that rope is a path for exploring bondage in a non-draconian and empowered way and aim to give rope its due. As a studio, we are a tight-knit but also collaborative community always open to new voices. Voxbody’s in-house curriculum spans a yearlong journey to mastery in rope bondage, eventually leading to suspension. We will also offer online programming in 2022.

Being very careful and considerate of people who have differences, consent and protection is taken very seriously. It has a unique venue, and the facilities are excellent, and I am highly obliged for everyone for my first visit. The centre is amazingly clean and inviting, with beautiful decorations and a community that is accommodating and welcoming. I would highly recommend this venue if you are into shibari and in the region. I have been to one of the best places in the entire country.
