Teagan Rose
My name is Teagan. I am an Embodiment & Voice Activation Guide, Artist, Actor and Creator.
I have been fascinated with human nature since I was 12, when the art of acting found me and I began exploring this being-human-thing through different lenses.
I was always a high creative—drawing, writing, singing, imagining other worlds—and have now been a professional performer for 15 years.
I fell in love with dance about 6 years ago, and it has been an integral part of how I have merged my work in the arts with the health and wellness world.
It has been a passion filled journey to explore the realms of psychology, emotional health, somatics, vocal alchemy, creative arts therapy and human connection throughout my life and career.
Because, the experience of being captivates me.
It lights me up from within to study, explore and play through this existence as a human.
Supporting others and myself in continuously coming home to the body, to truth, and to creativity,
is the fire of my soul.
ON MOVEMENT
Free-form dance and movement can liberate the things we can't liberate with our minds.
The mind is essential to our experience of life—it is our problem solver. Where we can often get stuck is when we see our life, our body, and our emotions as a problem to be solved. Humanity has become increasingly disconnected from the wisdom of the body, because we have become increasingly more reliant on things making sense to the mind.
Someone very wise once told me "the way we do anything is the way we do everything." Over the last 6 years of my life, free-form movement influenced free-form vocal and emotional expression influenced free-form thought and creativity influenced greater alignment between my soul and my body. Non-linear movement, ecstatic dance, contact improvisation, embodied dance techniques, physical play, (and vocal exploration as it is an integral part of the body!), these are all ways we can become more fluent in the language of our bodies, and create a relationship with ourselves that truly feels like home.
ON VOICE
The voice doesn't just come from our vocal chords, it comes from our entire body—our resonance chamber.
The ways we sit, stand, walk, what emotions we are feeling, or hiding, the ways we feel about ourselves, and those we are speaking to, all affect the sound that resonates. And not only the sound, but also our ability to embody our Truth. Voice activation goes deep into ancestral unwindings, and creating a clearer channel for the vibration of our essence to come through in each moment. When we liberate our voice, we empower our Truth and how we share it.
ON ACTING
Acting and Performance provide the opportunity to explore the Self within the body and psyche of the many different characters of existence (including the many characters living within us!).
I have often said, "I learn so much about myself through becoming someone else. " How I'm similar to the character, how I'm very different, where I feel discomfort in portraying this character, where I feel liberated, and so on. It is so important to risk looking silly, strange, ugly or "out of character" in order to develop the muscles of self acceptance and self knowing, and to bring understanding to patterns of human behavior. We may never know our own brilliance, power, nature, wisdom, unless we risk trying something new, strange or uncomfortable.
Through acting/performance, we can explore ourselves from the inside out, and we are able to do it with fun, silliness, and curiosity. This art has allowed me to see every life event as an opportunity to learn something, to grow, to stand in awe of the Play of Life.
