Hey, folks!
Guys, it’s my first project here at NEAR. I was added to the system by @johnfaus and @bagadefente. I hope to contribute to the development of the NEAR ecosystem. I’m not fluent in English, so I ask for patience in communication. Hope we have good exchanges here!
Here is my proposal for this month:
Proponent: Elias Pintanel
NEAR account for payment: eliaspintanel.near
Duration: 36 days
Requested Amount: 560 USD in NEAR
Project name: Dramaturgy Workshop
Objectives: Hold a dramaturgy workshop lasting four meetings, ending with a dramatic reading of the texts created by the participants, which will be broadcast live through the Writer’s Guild and Cia. Notívagos Burlescos. The texts and exercises performed during the workshop will be compiled in a magazine, in e-book format, made available and published on NEAR’s Mintbase, with 10% of its value reverted to the Near Writer’s Guild; this action will aim to publicize the workshop exercises and the texts created.
Description: In order to stimulate the creation of writers for theater in the region, the proposal here is to hold a dramaturgy workshop open and free to the community of the city and region of Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil. Making a public call to fill the 12 spots planned for the workshop. The workshop will take place in 4 meetings of 3 hours each, totaling 12 hours of workshop, with the last meeting having a public reading of the texts created, which will also be broadcast live.
The workshop and public reading will take place at the independent cultural space “Garagem - Espaço de Cultura”, in the city of Botucatu. Having as speakers Elias Pintanel and Johnny Faustino, both are actors and theater directors, members of the collective Notívagos Burlescos de Teatro, which has 20 years of history and importance for the city of Botucatu and region of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. They have experience in the creation of dramatic texts, in the adaptation of literary texts for the stage and in theatrical direction.
The workshop will focus on talking about classic dramaturgy concepts, theatrical conflict, dramatic situations, character creation, writing styles and theatrical aesthetics. The meetings will be practical, with writing of texts for theater, more reading of theatrical classics and analysis of them. The objective is for each participant to present a final text to be read by actors and actresses in the city. The purpose of the last day’s presentation is for workshop participants to hear their texts being read by professionals in the scene and to people in the community. We hope not only to encourage the creation of theatrical texts in the city and region, but also theater readers.
Another product is the publication of applied exercises and texts produced, being compiled in a magazine in e-book format, with 30 editions, which will be made available and published on NEAR’s Mintbase, 15 of which are free and the remaining 10% of its value reverted for the Near Writer’s Guild. This action will aim to publicize the workshop exercises, so that they can be reproduced by any reader or interested in theatrical writing, and the texts created to stimulate and disseminate the authors.
