Teagan Rose
My name is Teagan. I am an Embodiment Facilitator, Voice Coach, Actor, Writer, and Creator.
I have been fascinated with human nature and 'what makes us tick' since I was 12.
It has been work of passion and play to explore the realms of psychology, emotions, health and human connection throughout my life and career in the arts.
Because, the experience of being captivates me.
It lights me up from within to study it.
This existence as a human.
And being able to create from a place of curiosity about existence,
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." The more playful and creative someone is in their dancing, their movement, their physical exploration, the more playful and creative they will be in all other aspects of life. 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 an integrated relationship between the body and the mind.
On Acting.
Acting and Performance provides the opportunity to explore the Self within the body and psyche of many different characters. (including the many characters living within us!).
I have often said, "I learn so much about myself through becoming someone else. "
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.
Through acting/performance, we explore psychological terrain from the inside out, and are able to do it with fun, silliness, and curiosity.
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. Which is why if we want to strengthen our voice—in singing, public speaking, performing, or in moments where we have something important to say—we must approach the voice through the instrument as a whole.
When we liberate our voice, we empower our Truth and our ability to share it.
