Stephanie Pan

Stephanie Pan is a singer and performance artist currently based in The Hague, the Netherlands. She performs in experimental music, new music, experimental theater, and early music, specializing in extended vocal techniques and live improvisation. At the root of her work is the notion of pure communication; finding a form of contact with the audience which is stripped of social expectations and distractions, that speaks beyond the conventional and social limitations and constructs of language.

As a soloist she has performed in the US and in Europe, premiering works by composers including John Thow, Martijn Padding, Trevor Weston, Barbara Ellison and Jasna Velickovic, as well as with groups such as Computer Aided Breathing, a trio for voice, organ and live electronics devoted to live improvisation, which she co-founded in 2006. The group release their first CD, Fukuoka Method, in 2007 on SevenInchRecordings. In theater she has worked with groups such as acclaimed rebel theatre group Belarus Free Theatre, Dutch group de Veenfabriek, and currently works with Rosa Ensemble. As a Medievalist, she has recorded with Sequentia, and was a founding member of Scivias Chor nd Ars Choralis Coeln.

Ms. Pan holds a BA from UC Berkeley in Music and Applied Mathematics, and a First Phase Diploma, with distinction, in Classical Singing from The Royal Conservatory, The Hague, where she studied with Lenie van den Heuvel, Jill Feldman, and Barbara Pearson. She is currently a participant in the post-graduate experimental theater program DasArts.
