In their own words:
PAN is known for presenting multidisciplinary works that are ‘radical’ and experimental in nature – combining elements of performance, ‘happening’, visual art, design, video projections, music / sound / text, and interactivity. The central focus of the group is the human body, and its relationship to architecture, media, and the environment. This emerging ensemble has presented over 30 works as well as producing an annual large-scale, all-ages, multi-media event. Major work includes “Vermillion. Violet”, a full-evening dance/theater work that explores the process of ‘bruising’; through movement, music, and text. “Art Model 01”, an interactive performance installation examining the process of art production by recreating a studio figure drawing session. “PAN-LAB Industries”, a month exhibit of an installation designed as a pharmaceutical company with marketing products, merchandise, and commercials on display. “Crosspollination”, an ongoing film/video and performance project exploring the animal/human connection, and the process of transformation. As a presenting organization, PAN has produced “Butoh-A-Go-Go” at the Fremont UnConventional Center, “Solstice” at Consolidated Works, “Pan-O-Rama” at the Jem Arts Center, and co-produced the 2000 Seattle International Butoh Festival at On The Boards – which invited artists from Tokyo, Sapporo, Stockholm, Toronto, San Francisco, Austin, and the Northwest for 11 days of workshops, performances, and a lecture / demonstration.
