PR: STUDIO CONNECTIONS INTERNATIONAL - Create, Educate and Connect

STUDIO CONNECTIONS INTERNATIONAL: the new player in town. With a core group that has more than 40 years of combined experience and expertise in production, talent development, events and marketing. We are committed to "Create, Educate, and Connect" the very best in the performing arts. As we join the many outstanding players in the industry, we are aiming to achieve even higher benchmarks of excellence; knowing that in the end, it is how you play that counts

THE VISION To help form alliances among performing arts companies in order to raise professional and artistic benchmarks in educational Philippine Theater.

THE MISSION Studio Connections, to this end, will: • Develop skills and art of theater artists by giving them opportunities for training and performance  • Bring the best of Philippine and global tradition to the experience of both artists and audience. • Awaken the cultural consciousness of the Filipino audience through educational theater • Help to raise the benchmark of excellence in performance and production through quality shows

OBJECTIVES This it will do through the following concrete measures:

CREATE. Studio Connections commits itself primarily to the development of a larger audience for Filipino theater by utilizing the Filipino language as its primary medium and by actively reaching out to the community through non-traditional performance venues and spaces—not only locally but overseas where Overseas Filipino Workers are in great numbers.

Apart from presenting original Filipino works, as well as classic and contemporary translations and adaptations of theater materials, Studio Connections will also produce concerts, fashion shows, events, TV shows, and indie films that celebrate the Filipino experience.

EDUCATE. Studio Connections aims to discover, develop, and manage talents guided by the highest standards in artistic discipline, technical skill and professional conduct. 

Through Summer Workshops and special seminars, Studio Connections will conduct theater education and training programs such as acting for singers, musical theater, dance, voice, movement, improvisation, and scene study. Additionally, there will be advanced training programs in acting, directing, playwriting and production management. These programs will be made available to students, non-professional theater enthusiasts, corporate clients and professional theater practitioners.

CONNECT. Studio Connections dedicates itself to help cultivate greater awareness of Filipino culture and history through the performing arts by supporting and forging a union with other production outfits with a similar sense of responsibility to our art and responsive mindset to the challenges of our evolving contemporary society.

One of the signature strengths that Studio Connections prides itself in, is its unabashed commitment to provide linkages to talent pools, marketing services, endorsements, referrals, sub-contracting options, co-production possibilities, and the best of professional connections.

THE LOGO:   Studio Connections International has adopted the circle as the dominant image—a universal symbol that represents wholeness. The circle as a “golden egg” encompasses the totality and value of connections .The Mistral font, evoking the personalized cursive, is used for the word “Connections” –which, itself, moves forward beyond the boundaries of the circle.  Within the circle, the dominant color is red--the color of passionate love. Yellow, optimistic and cheerful, is the color of the mind and the intellect, and, importantly, it is placed over the red of passion. The Bauhaus 93 font used for Studio is both modern and solid; its white color symbolizes wholeness and completeness—white is the color produced by the combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum.

The predominant red “S” is a visual wink to “red carpets”—the special treatment with which Studio Connections intends to virtually “walk its walk,” so to speak, as the new player in town.
