Proponent: Paulo Vitor Previatto

NEAR account for payment: pvpreviatto.near

Duration: 31 days (by 19th September to 20th October)

Requested Amount: 500 USD in NEAR/DAI

Project name: Dramatic Dialogues | Podcast – Special Episodes: Notívaga Dramaturgy Festival (MultiDAO Project)

Objectives:
Production of two episodes of the podcast, with approximately 90 minutes each, with two of the authors published on the NADA DAO mintbase, by the “Festival de Dramaturgia Notívaga”.

Expand the NEAR Writer’s Guild and NEAR Protocol’s outreach channels, disseminating contemporary Brazilian dramatic literature and the ecosystem’s creative tools.

Attract playwrights to the NEAR ecosystem so they can contribute to community development.

Description:

Preliminary note: Initially, this proposal foresaw the realization of the Festival de Dramaturgia Notívaga through the Writer’s Guild, but given the uncertainty of funding we decided to advance the stage of production of the episodes for the podcast and we passed the stage of the Festival to NADA DAO as a result of the launch of the 3 NFTs e-books foreseen in the project. As can be seen here:

Dramatic Conversations is a podcast project, produced and presented by @eliaspintanel and @johnfaus, members of Associação Teatral Notívagos Burlescos, which aims to produce dramatic readings of short texts and hold informal conversations with contemporary theater authors.

In this proposal we will produce two more episodes of the podcast, with approximately 90 minutes each, with two of the authors published in the NADA DAO mintbase, by the “Festival de Dramaturgia Notívaga”. Each episode will be divided into two parts, the first part being the reading of a text by the guest author and the second part the interview with the author. One of the main focuses is to publicize the production of current dramatic literature, offering space for authors to present a little about themselves, talking about their personal trajectory, creative process, their influences and reflections on the Brazilian authorial scenario and its relevance in the theatrical production of Botucatu.

We will continue to work with Brazilian authors because it is the language we speak and because Brazil is a region with a great impact on the diffusion of the NEAR network. For these episodes we chose the authors Robert Coelho, for being a member of the Botucatuense Academy of Letters and a notorious playwright for the history of the Botucatu region, and João Alves, for being a playwright with several nominations for theater awards in São Paulo and having artistic and political trajectory, thus counting on influence in the artistic environment.

We will also take advantage of the media generated by the launch of the NFTs e-books, by NADA DAO, made within the Night Dramaturgy Festival, to capture the audio of the dramatic readings of the texts and minimize project costs. Also, as we intend to include the NFTs in NEAR Alexandria, we will use the episodes to promote the library hosted on Voxels.

With this proposal, we intend to contribute to the diversification of the dissemination channels of NEAR Protocol, NEAR Writer’s Guild, NADA DAO and NEAR Alexandria.

Hi! To accommodate an exciting variety of proposals this month and ensure we do not have to reject proposals, the Writer’s Guild Council is asking proponents to please modify their proposals to fit within a maximum budget of $500 USD in DAI.

We are asking proponents with budgets in excess of $500 USD to either reduce the scope of their project, or to shift a stage of their project into a separate proposal to be made for October. By splitting larger proposals across two months, we aim to continue to support projects with larger scopes.

We will need you to edit your proposal to reflect this shift before we finalize our September Budget."

Hi AshleyC! How is it going! Jewel, thank you so much for letting me know. I just made the requested changes. Let’s divide the project into two parts to be able to complete it. So, in October I will make a new proposal with the step that was suppressed for now.
Hope this helps! And may many projects occur this month here at the Guild! If you need anything, I’m at your disposal! :pray:
