In this workshop, we will be exploring the voice through play. We will dive into the vast possibilities of the human voice beyond [traditional] singing, through listening and experimentation.

The workshop consists of group exercises, beginning with a vocal warm up, followed by technical exercises and explanations designed to give participants building blocks for understanding and exploring the different components of sound making with the voice.

In the last part of the workshop, participants will further explore and play with these components through a series of group listening and improvisation exercises.

About Stephanie Pan

Stephanie Pan is a voice artist, composer, interdisciplinary maker, and performer. A mutating combination of theater/performance art/experimental, pop and classical music/improvisation/ controlled chaos, her work is visceral, passionate and intense, often exploring the limits of the body and voice.

Originally a classically trained singer, she now specializes in extended vocal techniques and has developed an idiosyncratic technique that moves freely between pure sound, belcanto, belting, and screaming.

Ms. Pan performs extensively internationally, having presented work at venues, platforms and festivals as varied as CTM Berlin, Sziget Festival, Rewire Festival, Young Vic Theatre London, La MaMa Theater NYC, BBC, IDFA, Dutch National Opera, Beursschouwburg Brussel, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and Kunstmuseum Den Haag.
