" The most Phenominal thing about being on stage is the magic that takes place. You crawl into the skin of another character, or dance your guts out in an ecstatic dance piece. After having received the audience applause, you take off the costume, whipe away the stage make up and go home as your normal self!"
Sylvania Pen, born in Hoorn, the Netherlands, discovered at an early age her passion for art. She began her way as an artist deciding, at the age of five, to be a concert pianist. Sooner than expected she discovered, while standing in front of a huge mirror in her very first blue tutu, that her heart was fulfilled with only one dream and desire, to become a famous dancer. ''You remember me, cause I'm going to become a celebrated ballerina'' she told the woman of the store while making a gracious bow in her first little ballet outfit.
After taking her first steps at the local Dance School, she 'bouréed' to the Ballet Academy and 'allegroed' to a Conservatory to enhance both her piano and ballet abilities. She often used these skills to make little ballet performances for family and friends, with carefully thought out ballet steps choreographed to her own 'composed' piano music.
Sooner or later Sylvania had to make a decision between continuing at the Ballet Academy or furthering her piano studies. As she couldn't sit still for more than 5 minutes, dancing was the natural choice. Sylvania visited several Academies, and after years of hard work she graduated with a professional dance degree.
Travelling around the world pursuing her dreams, she worked in many Ballet,Modern and Contemporary companies with many different choreographers. ''I learned a lot from teachers, other dancers and choreographers which now makes me able to create my own work for festivals, television and competitions.''

Beside enhancing her musical,singing and dancing career, Sylvania is now further developing her acting career ''I love developing characters, with the guidance of the director and the interaction of fellow actors, it's a powerfull combination to make a scene come alive!''
As well as living her artistic passions, Sylvania puts inspiration and perspiration into her own work as a Choreographer, Writer and Composer. She also enjoys collaborating with other artists from the many facets of the arts. ''I'm a very open minded person, I like to undertake challenges, discover new options and possibilities! Every experience enriches me as a person and as an artist.''p
