Our Team
Host & Co-Producer of Dirty Laundry, Johanna Pan is currently back in sunny Singapore and plans to return to New York in the spring.
Johanna Pan is a costume (and sometimes scenic) designer for theatre, film, dance, and opera; a textile and visual artist; and now, the host and co-producer of Dirty Laundry: Unpacking The Costume Closet. Born and raised in Singapore, she currently splits her time between New York City and home. She first discovered theatrical design while competing in the creative thinking competition Odyssey of the Mind and has never looked back. She is a proud feminist and lover of vintage clothing and all things related to textile arts. Johanna’s artistic practice is centered around decolonizing the imagination, breaking down the notions of feminized labor, and anti-racism. She continues to harbor hope for a more sustainable humankind in the face of adversity and dreams of a future filled with equity, inclusion, and diversity.
Johanna is also the Resident Designer for WWTNS? and a proud member of IATSE United Scenic Artists Local 829.
