Star Magic took a bold step in shaping the future of Philippine entertainment by launching the Star Magic School for the Creative and Performing Arts (SMSCPA), formerly known as Star Magic Workshop.

The Star Magic SCPA introduces an expanded curriculum that includes acting, singing, dancing, directing, and character building, along with master classes taught by some of the most respected mentors in the industry.

At a media conference, Star Magic and ABS-CBN Business Unit Raymund Dizon noted how the talent arm keeps its artists relevant and impactful to the audience,

"That's the advantage of having subject matter experts in the school, because they have different point of views they instill to our star dreamers to keep them relevant..."

Coach Mickey Perz, one of the head choreographers of BINI also shared, "In social media, a lot of people have talent, but talent will always bring you to a certain level; now how do you nurture that? That's when you put skill into it."

"The way you will nurture your talent is to get the right equipment... so you can always move on to what is current. You have to understand if you want to evolve, you have to humble yourself enough na you have to work hard for what you want to get," Perz added.

To share a few words regarding what dreamers can expect from the acting courses of SMSCPA, teacher HB Benitez said, "Acting is more than just memorizing and reciting lines; acting is about truth; it's about exploring the complexities of the character and delving into the depths of the human experience and illuminating the truths that connect us all; that's why we, at SMSCPA have expanded and have added more acting courses..."

Voice mentor Julie Anne also proudly shared, "Sofronio Vasquez, our champ for 'The Voice' Season 26, he was with us at Star Magic workshops for five consecutive classes, from basic to master class."

Naming some of the Star Magic graduates that coach Benitez is most proud of and memorable for him, he said, "Those who came from the workshop, whom we are truly proud of, really excelled in their chosen fields... In acting, it would be the likes of Joshua Garcia, Arjo Atayde, and Alora Sasam for comedy, as well as Dimples Romana. Actually, many of them started with the workshop — their training served as their foundation before they became famous."

Throughout the event, the mentors introduced the different courses, including the Meisner Core Program for acting, the Popshop Workshop for singing and dancing, and the Voice Workshop to refine vocal skills. They also shared their insights into the value of proper training in honing talent, discipline, and professionalism in showbiz.

The onsite enrollment of the workshops will reopen on April 5 and 6, with limited slots available. Aspiring artists can register and secure their place by signing up at forms.abs-cbn.com/starmagicscpa.
