Hello guys! My name is Paulo Vitor Previatto, but you can call me PV. I’m new to the Writers Guild and the NEAR ecosystem, I got here through my friends @johnfaus and @eliaspintanel who helped with my onboarding. I am a Bachelor in Cultural Production, manager of GARAGE – Espaço de Cultura and artist on call from the city of Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil.
Currently I work mainly as a producer of the creative economy, I manage the space that I conceived and implemented in 2018, the GARAGE, I am president of the Associação Teatral Notívagos Burlescos, and I am also a theater actor, as well as a musician (singing and choir conducting).
I am very happy to be here with you and thank you in advance!
Today I’m doing my first project submission, so here’s my proposal:
Proponent: Paulo Vitor Previatto
NEAR account for payment: pvpreviatto.near
Duration: 28 days (by June, 11th at August, 7th)
Requested Amount : 700 USD in NEAR/DAI
Project name : Soiree of Notívagos | 10th Edition
Objectives: Holding of the 10th edition of the “Soiree of Notívagos” on August 6th, to be broadcast live, also featuring a national call for poems in Portuguese written by Brazilians and the publication of an online magazine, coined on the NEAR Writer’s Guild mintbase.
Description:
The “Soiree of Notívagos” is a poetry and dramatic literature soiree that takes place monthly at GARAGE – Espaço de Cultura in Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil. The event is now in its 7th consecutive and uninterrupted edition, even without funding, it is maintained independently by the members of the Cia. of Burlesque Night Theater, since December 2021. The 10th edition is scheduled for the month of August 2022, for which we decided to seek support from the NEAR Writer’s Guild, in order to carry out a special edition and, possibly, establish a partnership in future editions when interesting and viable for both.
The idea of this project, in addition to funding the event itself, is to hold a national public call for Brazilian poets to submit their poems (in Portuguese), to be read during the 10th edition of the soiree and also to be compiled in an online magazine, which will be minted in e-book format on the NEAR Writer’s Guild mintbase. all in all, We will select 10 poems, each of which will receive the amount of $10 in NEAR/DAI – but to receive the amount, selected poets must create a NEAR wallet, if they do not have one. In parallel with the national call, a bounty will also be held at the NEAR Writer’s Guild, which will include 5 poems in Portuguese with $10 in NEAR/DAI each – which will also be read at the soiree and will be in the online magazine. As the national call and bounty will be open for 19 days, approximately 3 weeks, project completion will need to be finalized in the first week of August.
The soiree always took place in person, but in order to give wide access to its appreciation, both for the poets of the national call and for the NEAR Writer’s Guild, this edition will also be broadcast live on the Youtube channels of Cia’s Teatro Notívagos Burlescos, Garage – Espaço de Cultura and NEAR Writer’s Guild, if they are interested and it is possible. This initiative, in addition to the boost it will receive on social media, will also contribute to the wide dissemination of the event, the NEAR ecosystem and the NEAR Writer’s Guild. And, thinking about the project’s success, print releases will also be sent to newspapers and literature websites.
Below I leave a brief description of the format in which we are holding the soiree:
The soiree can have a free or thematic format, a condition that is directly linked to the date and place of its realization.
The event is divided into 3 blocks, - also called “acts”, in reference to the acts that structure some dramatic pieces - organized in order to build interaction with the public and encourage their participation during the soiree. The first act always features an improvised skit, where the presenters stitch together a series of poems related to the theme of the day, with short scenes and live music. In the second act, the microphone is open to the public, who, through registration, will be able to read their own texts or those of other authors. The third act, on the other hand, also counts on the participation of the public, but this is ended by the presenters with a dramatic reading of a short scene previously selected.
During breaks, the presenters draw gifts, most of which are books that fit the proposed theme.
