General Information

Studiolab International is a cultural-social enterprise association created in Umbria, Italy, by three founding members in September 2021, on the basis of the multi-year experience and the net of international relations built by its members in the field of music and live entertainment in Italy and abroad.

Mission and Objectives

Studiolab intends to promote the creation of new theater-concert shows referring to the Italian cultural background through musical practice and enjoyment based on two essential points:
1) focus on artistic value
2) employment of adequately trained young people
Studiolab also intends to include the use of its shows in the context of a communication aimed at promoting the tourist-cultural offer of the territory in which these shows are produced and represented, in order to favor experiential and conscious cultural tourism practices.

Main Projects / Activities

To pursue its objectives, Studiolab has created the ViVas! project, intended for the live performing arts and experiential cultural tourism sectors.
Vivas is the third person singular of the exhortative conjunctive of the Latin verb "to live" and represents a playful invitation to each person to live their existence with fullness and awareness.
The initiatives of ViVas! are in fact aimed at each single person from any part of the world who intends to dedicate a small part of his time to the practice of Otium, intended as a physical and metaphysical place in which to regenerate spirit, mind and body.
The project consists in the creation in Campania, Lazio and Umbria of workshop activities aimed at the production of new theater-concert performances to be represented in hybrid form, with audience in presence together with people from remote through a worldwide live streaming and a dedicated website ( + associated social channels) which carries out a permanent activity of information, communication and debate on cultural tourism and live performing arts, in order to create a participatory and sharing international community over time.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

The ViVas project! it is currently focused on the Italian artistic, cultural and tourist heritage.
But Italy extends into the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, crossed by travelers and sailors who, with their thousands of cultures and traditions, have built the Italian multicultural identity over the centuries.
Ex pluribus unum, the ancient Romans said.
And in a world that seriously risks confusing the positive conquest of the sense of belonging to a single planetary human community with cultural homogenization and standardization, it is a firm intention of ViVas! to promote and contribute to reworking the concept of the Mediterranean as a source of wealth based on cultural diversity.
For this reason, Studiolab is and will be increasingly available to support in any way and by any means the promotion in Italy of cultural, artistic and entertainment events referring to the cultural background of the countries of the Mediterranean basin.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Mainly to enter into relations with other cultural and artistic expressions and experiences of countries, peoples and traditions from the Mediterranean basin, with specific interest for the countries of Mediterranean Europe, in order to contribute to the elaboration and construction of a paneuropean cultural model - able to infect social, economic and political choices - based on the centrality of multiculturalism and (bio) diversity as a condition for a global (glocal), open, welcoming, responsible and sustainable coexistence.
