[FINAL REPORT]
Project name: Latin American dramaturgy trilogy
Project Status: Concluded
Project Accounting: The objective of the project was successfully accomplished, with the writing of the three dramatic texts and the dramatic reading of them. The texts were read in the “Garage - Cultural Space” with the presence of the public from the city of Botucatu, SP, Brazil, and with the online transmission on youtube.
Self-assessment: I am very happy with the results obtained during the writing process, its completion and reading the texts. First I want to thank the partnership established with @eliaspintanel in writing the texts. We had intense weeks of writing the texts, many conversations about the stories of the scenes and procedures of dramaturgical creation. We thought not only that the dramatic situations had an initial situation of conflict between the characters, but we expanded this by placing more secondary conflicts in their personal stories that influenced the actions, speech and interactions with the other characters. In addition, theatrical elements such as subtexts, rhythm, physical actions (indicated in the rubrics) and the description of the scenarios, amplified the power of conflict and tension of the texts. That was my initial goal. I was very happy with the very conclusion of the texts within these parameters.
The dramatic reading carried out in the “Garage - Cultural Space” showed the strength of the texts. It was wonderful to realize how much the reading of the texts held the attention of the spectators. Of course, there was also the importance of the performance of the actors and actresses at the time of reading, but it is undeniable to see how the texts allowed the actors to have conditions to work. The spectators were moved, cried, laughed, amazed, with the lines, the situations and the conclusion of the texts. It was fantastic to realize the scenic potential of the texts and it wasn’t just one person who told us at the end how cool it would be to see the texts staged on stage. This positive feedback from the audience was wonderful.
Unfortunately, we had some setbacks regarding the quality of the live broadcast of the dramatic reading, as the professional who would perform it ended up contracting COVID and needed to remain in isolation. However, we managed to solve the problem in a timely manner for the reading to be carried out and, even though it did not occur with the quality we wanted, we managed to transmit it through the Youtube channel of Near Writer’s Guild and Cia. Notívagos Burlescos. In a new opportunity, if there are eventualities, we will try to have more satisfactory alternatives.
I am immensely grateful to the NEAR ecosystem and the writers-guild for giving me this opportunity to carry out this project. Unprecedented action in our city and which mobilized a lot of people’s interest in the next steps, in other unpublished writings and readings, as in the desire to know about NEAR, which we divulged during the previous week and during the reading. Thank you and I hope there are other moments like this and other exchanges!
Final delivery:
The finalization of 3 dramatic texts was carried out, whose dissemination took place in the format of dramatic reading. The reading took place in person at the “Garage - Cultural Space” in Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil; also being broadcast live on Youtube by Near Writer’s Guild and on Instagram by Cia. Notívagos Burlescos. The onboard of @eliaspintanel was also carried out (with the help of @bagadefente and other members of the Writer’s Guild involved in the process).

Resources:
I had some difficulties in receiving the first payment for the project ($225 in DAI), as I had little knowledge about the operation regarding the procedures to be followed after approval. However, @bagadefente (thank you very much for all the support!) managed to help me, both in this matter and in releasing access to Youtube and onboard @eliaspintanel.
I still haven’t been able to transfer funds from Near Wallet to a traditional bank account to make payments, but everyone involved is aware and will receive the first part or full payment agreed by the end of the week.
Once again thank you everybody, please check the dramatic reading video and don’t hesitate to ask me with you have any doubts!
