What are “The Vagina Monologues”?
Hailed by The New York Times as "funny" and "poignant" and by the Daily News as "intelligent" and "courageous," “The Vagina Monologues,” which was first performed off-Broadway by Ms. Ensler, dives into the mystery, humor, pain, power, wisdom, outrage and excitement buried in women’s experiences.
FWN’s production is an all Filipina cast with some monologues in Tagalog to honor the Filipino culture.

Filipina Image Program - Seven Aspects of Image

Filipina Image Program - "Image Builds Business"
A good public image makes friends, builds customer loyalty, attracts investors, motivates staff, and helps you survive in difficult economic times. A weak image is a liability that can cost you lost opportunities and can drive you out of business. Your image is like the weather. People notice when it is extremely good or extremely bad.

Using the Seven Aspects of Image to Influence Results
1. Color Analysis - Color communicates subconscious messages of health, power, culture, and environment.
2. Wardrobe Strategies - Methods to express lifestyle and profession. Can be used as a tactical weapon to barter goodwill.
3. Grooming - Physical manifestations of health and well-being. Describes the character of a company, its products and employees.
4. Communications - Delivery of messages though verbal and non-verbal techniques.
5. Protocol and Etiquette - Behavior in business and social situations.
6. Image Objects - Persons, places or things that influence our perception of individuals, products, companies and entities.
7. Inner Image - Relationship with yourself regarding security, self-hood, belonging, purpose and competence.
