CHACO by Hugo Blotta

Actor, playwright, director, teacher, unionist. In this interview, the Hugo-winning Blotta multifaceted, cooperative member of the Chamber Theatre 88, meets on the pros and cons of Chaco theater.

- Statewide, what are the casts and braces rooms Chaco? What needs are met with such support? Is it enough? How do you evaluate the work National Theatre Institute at the NEA?

- Support statewide is relative if not zero. Provincial Directorate of Theatre received interesting proposals. For example, each of the fourteen separate rooms that are in the province was to receive $ 400, but since all in the same bag are committed injustices. Is not the same one rented room to one that does not (like ours) is not the same club in the interior of the Interior, La Tigra, a town not included in the map (seriously, no figure but makes an impressive festival) that has no season, one in the city of Resistencia running all weekend. But the problem does not end here the worst is that they announced, we signed the agreement, it advertised but ... NEVER CHARGE. Or call on us from the province and we buy ten functions of puppets to $ 300 each, but pay for thirty days. INT passing the same, no one can deny the importance of INT, but for example we charge the room maintenance allowance in the second half of 2007, June 6, 2008. And still no news of the first half of 2008 and is now under way in October. Twine but when it is used to pay debts, not to produce better. Grant activity of the INT group 2007 as charge in December 2007. Welcome, but as always there was no money. However, the evolution of INT is not bad. Compared with other provinces in the region would tell you that is very good. Sure I could do better but since I'm not delegate (laughs) and I will not introduce myself, I can make the contribution from outside. For example, spend a lot on Pharaonic plans "Development", in my humble opinion, nothing more than plans that discourage work almost nothing. Province as a nation both public speaking, public crisis, little, small, almost nonexistent, and there are no plans in this regard.

- How many ensembles / groups working in Resistance? What about the rest of the province?

- With continued six, of whom three are living. In the provincial party, casts seventeen participated and there were three or four more that were not submitted.

- What is more prevalent: casts / stable groups or ensembles / groups casual?

- What are the dominant groups that revolve around a reference.

- Where are the playwrights in the province?

- Training is uneven and ambiguous. For three years there is an official career where you will receive Theatre Technician - Actor - and / or theater teacher. INT fellowships and some courses also make the menu sporadic training. Both Province and INT talk a lot of training, but often reflected indifference. When the profession is distant, it is very difficult to overcome the amateurism.

- Do you consider that the playwrights have good Chaco?

- Discuss level is always relative to another. I think in relation to other provinces of the NEA, we have the best. Looking in the mirror of Buenos Aires, Cordoba and Mendoza, I think we have a much lower level.

- The Chaco dramatist, can live theater?

- If we talk about the theater box office, the answer is no. But teaching, for example, is a way. I got $ 800 for a workshop for the elderly. The teacher in our room is close to $ 1200 per month with 3 workshops. The issue is that in the summer (40 degrees at night) that is short and does not start until April. Almost all have other jobs (I, with my 120 kilos in tow, I'm the producer of Dance Area Office of Culture).

- What kind of theater or theater aesthetic dominates the Chaco? What makes the scene proposals Chaco?

- There are two or three well-defined proposals: THEATRE festivalero or PICTURE / NEW TREND, which is what is done to the jury; THE NEW REALISM, which is equal to the old but allows some synthesis and innovation, the old realism, usually bummer and wrong. There are some very basic, very amateur, sheltered "we do not live in this so we do wrong."

- How many theaters operating in Resistance?

- In Resistance, three: Mask Theatre (with order of eviction) Galatea Cultural Center (leased, with 1 year of life, very strong) and the most beautiful of all (laughs), SALA 88 COOP. LTAD, recently turned 23-years old. Then there is the Guido Miranda Cultural Complex, which is official.

- In the rest of the province, what cities have rooms?

- Sáenz Peña In three: La Usina, minstrelsy and September. In La Tigra, works the room Nov. 10. They also have a room the towns of San Bernado (Styx), charAt (The Warehouse), The Breñas (Blue Room) and Villa Angela.

- What is the capacity of these rooms?

- Unless the officer has a capacity for 570 spectators, none passes the rest of the 200.

- Do who owns them? What is the profile of an owner / a room?

- A civil associations, three. A cooperative two. One is individual. The rest are companies around the fact that the given group. All kamikazes, crazy cute laburantes, activists, almost any entrepreneur.

- In addition to entertainment, what other activities are carried out in these spaces?

- In almost all, there are theater workshops in many dance, in some drawing, guitar, kung-fu and what scratch ...

- How is the relationship room - cast?

- If you refer to a cast extra room that you rent, if the cast is subsidized by the INT, provided the ratio is 70% uninsured and 30%. If the cast is not subsidized by the INT, see.

- How long are the contracts?

- No contracts. An interesting relationship to explore is the relationship of the room with its own cast. I dare to say that all the rooms that are cast are in crisis because the room ends up being the worst enemy of the cast. The whole effort is to maintain the standing room.

- At the technical level, "the rooms are equipped? Are there competent technical staff?

- The equipment is mixed. I talk about my room: we are well equipped, light console 48-channel, 30 spots, 12 par thousand console powered 8-channel audio, separate power for returns, etc.. Fog machine, rain, stars, etc.. At rest, the thing varies, but usually there is an average of fifteen cans of room and good audio. All INT through. The room is SUPER official resistance equipment, all computerized, a gimmick. All rooms have technical staff, but in reality, it is almost always someone who takes skill. It's a big crisis. For example, it is also our technical Four more groups.

- Are there problems with the ratings? Does the state is pushing for the space meets all the regulations?

- There is no uniform provincial legislation. Empowerment is municipal. The smaller the town, enabling easier. Therefore, resistance is the hardest place, but here the process is this: you opened and then you ask for authorization, and I come close. Slow, but finally appears empowerment. Cro-Magnon then obviously it got harder, but I think for the better.

- What is the value average ticket?

- On input resistance ranges between 15 and 20 mangoes in separate rooms and officer, according to what is, from 10 to 70.

- How to organize the season?

- We began in the summer. In addition to the room, we have a small amphitheater for two hundred people, where we do what we call Jazz on the patio (four stand-up comedy and a concert of jazz and bossa nova). This is January, February and March, every 15 days. In April starter in the living room, where 80% of the programming and the rest is theater and dance music. Generally the move is Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Our forte is children's theater.

- How to broadcast the shows?

- We have 50 FM, 2 cables, 4 day and 1 channel open, which we ignored. With 50 FM is obviously impossible to go to all, or whether we go to the main and in my opinion we shortly. I think the public issue goes hand in hand with communication. Internet is a great ally.

- Do you pay a press agent?

- There is no release of the agent, everything is in hock, absolutely free. Some entries are asking us to overcome.

- How is the relationship with the media and critics?

- The relationship with the media is good to excellent. There is an association, CritNEa, but it is a seal, do not work in any medium except that sometimes one will see things. I came to write my own stories (laughs).

- What type of audience attends the shows?

- Over 30. A man in ten women. If you play Boca or River, all women (laughs).

- Theatre likes to Chaco Chaco?

- I do not know, I do not because they are not. Chaco playwright says Gladis Gomez: "When the public has a name is not public if not private." After just the relatives, started paddling. A work to give adults 10 to 15 functions of 25 spectators average when wrong. One child, 30 functions. We talked about where things wrong. The 2008 is not a good year. The public is deep crisis.

- Are schools admissions in the province?

- No, there are isolated incidents of the wards, but nothing serious. On paper the province set a project, but will not start. In the INT not that I know. But in the provincial party statements that were made were 300 people per night, was a deep lie. We did not sell 100 tickets at 5 nights, 17 shows in the lineup.

- In schools, "the theater is a curriculum subject?

- No. However, thirteen years ago is a provincial meeting which presents more than thirty casts of the entire province, from the Impenetrable to the city.

- The Chaco playwrights, are represented in an organization or group?

- We had an organization, the Association of theatrical technicians, actors and choreographers of the Chaco, ATTACH, which had its golden age and today is a stamp. At the last meeting there were twenty members eligible to vote in two hundred that are registered. And we were just ten assembly.

- What the NEA province produced more exchanges?

- in Corrientes, which is just fifteen minutes. With the rest of the region, soon.

- theater festivals are held in the province?

- Too. Some are good, but others are a puppet to collect subsidies.

- whom he considers a person in relation to theatrical activity Chaco?

- A Carlos Schwaderer. Basically it is a militant and a good person. Rosario lives six months and six in Spain. A loss for the province.

Lioy Gustavo NEUQUÉN

three years ago, actor and director Gustavo Lioy decided to leave Buenos Aires and continue his career in the city of Neuquén. Leading the group South-Menage is presenting "Are you there?" Javier Daulte, Room Histrión Scope. In this interview, Lioy talks about the scene today Neuquén.

- What support has Neuquén theatrical activity?

- The reality is that there is no support at government level. The people in charge culture gives a lot of ball to the music or the arts, but no theater. Drama school works in provincial art school and has no space. There are graduates who never went on stage, but follow the teaching career and get to take classes because teachers earn quite well in Neuquén.

- And the National Theater?

- In Neuquén is in charge of Norman Portanko. Unfortunately you are not working well from the Institute. For example, it is very difficult to get a grant. In fact, we ask one and he denied it saying that we did not have seniority as a group, when nobody had told us which took into account that to give the subsidy. This year, our group was the only one who asked for help, or is that silver is not used. In South-Menage been working since 2007, and released five productions. We should be at this point the group that occurs in Neuquen, but they think we do not have enough seniority. I think this argument is moot because the age groups just starting out are precisely those who need more support, right?

- What is the status of the rooms in the city of Neuquén?

- The enabling law first came out last year after of having fought a lot from TENEAS, which is the association that brings together playwrights Neuquén. But this law has not yet entered into force, I do not know what step is missing, or are not yet legally independent cinemas. It is also true that open a room is very difficult because the rents are expensive, but in Buenos Aires. Today the only independent theaters in the city of Neuquén are Histrión and Conrad Field Cultural Center. We're talking about a city that is the largest in Patagonia, with nearly 400 thousand inhabitants, and that, for example, has no municipal or provincial theater. Rooms are missing here. With two or three spaces, it explodes.

- What is the profile of the owners of two separate rooms?

- Scope Histrión is a space provided to a cooperative by the Municipal School of Contemporary Dance and is supported by INT. It accommodates 60 visitors. The Conrad does not have a grant and is managed by a cooperative of casts, which pay a monthly fee.

- How is distributed bordereau?

- 70% for the cast, 30% for the room. In Scope Histrión room is safe and in no Conrad. However, in both rooms put on the shirt of the work. They help a lot with the organization, dissemination, scenery. And do not push the number of spectators. In Scope Histrión we try without any problems in the room before the premiere. We charge the tests, except the general and the light fantastic. Technical operation of the group is responsible because someone let you operate the lighting console freely.

- Do you have other activities in these rooms?

Histrión scope, there are workshops in drama, dance and storytelling cycle. In the workshops are not Conrado, but there is a second room used for music and independent film.

- Without state support How are economically the casts?

- In our case, we also have private support because the truth is that we must be able to get sponsors. So what remains is to work completely independent. Particularly cooperative banks. How do I have, how much you have you, and here we go. We have been working continuously for a year and every show we did allowed us to raise the money for the next project. This way of working as a group gives us an interesting place because if we had a grant would be forced to certain things. To be independent, laburos more freely. For example, this year we decided not participate in the Fiesta Provincial del Teatro because we believe that the jury that we have to evaluate not we deserve professional respect. If we grant, however, would be forced to participate in this festival.

- How long is usually the season?

- At this time of year the two rooms are packed with shows, but there are months that are empty. In general, the season runs from March to November. January and February do not work much. The contracts are for two months, not much else. The work floor and you can replace later. There are works by other groups that are in the lineup for five or six years because all the seasons return to do two months of function. This works well because this city is known for being very public way and truly renewed. A group us as we run out always do the same work. We prefer to do new things.

- What is the average value of the ticket?

- About twenty dollars. The discount for students and retirees depends on each group.

- How to broadcast the shows?

- In Neuquén have free press in all media. Journalists call you personally to see what day do the note in the local newspaper. When premieres you take on the top. Critics come to see the work and pay the entry of your pocket. After the premiere will take notes. In general, I like everything they see. It's great. We in newspapers, on radio, on local television. So you do not have to pay the press. And this broadcast has much impact on the public. Guides in the newspapers out of the weekend. Salis If one day there, you're bound to have half of the public.

- What can you say the public Neuquen?

- It is necessary to educate them to become accustomed to seeing local theater. Because what happens is that it comes Julio Chavez and put seven hundred people. Florencia de la V comes and adds three functions. And they do their shows in a room at Casino, with the noise of slot machines in the background.

- Is anything being done to educate the public?

- Here are several schools that have theater as a compulsory subject. Others have it as optional workshop. Our group does for school functions. After a couple of schools of spectators who work in the area. I think that failure is that for a long time there were many works "festival-goers," ie, works not so popular, a more hermetic theater, dance, theater or theater image. People do not understand this because it's entertainment for an audience already trained to do that. Then, the public ends up choosing to Florence V. Our group is trying to make the viewer is encouraged to see local plays and a good time. Later, try to play with proposals "festival-goers." Everyone can do theater you want, the issue is that then we should not complain if people are not with you and you end up losing money. In meetings TENEAS hear much the claim that people are not going to the theater. But people do go, what happens is not going to go see something tight.

- How many theater groups working in this city?

- There are four groups according. And there will be around five or six groups.

- What about the rest of the province?

- Smoke On Black St. Martin is organizing a festival. In Zapala are a beautiful theater, but there is a lot going on. And in Villa La Angostura think there is a working group.

- What's in Black River?

- Neuquén has a long exchange with Cipolletti. General Roca in four theaters. Black River governments always relied more to culture than those of Neuquén.

- Tell me about TENEAS, playwrights Neuquén Associates.

- is working for many years. It meets once a month. It is like the union of Neuquen playwrights. It gives you a hand with the billing issue when you have to ask for subsidies or selling functions. Makes it easy to CUIT and supports you from legal. He has worked extensively on the sanction of law, separate rooms, which was copied from that of Buenos Aires. The present, we march, we call on the council, until he left. TENEAS now has a plot that gave the provincial government to build its own room. The land is located in a field beside the river. INT looks set to send a money to begin construction, but it's all very complicated. Last year from TENEAS got the order to the cast of no-show at the Provincial Party, to protest the mishandling of the INT. For example, came a party of 10 000 pesos. Bought a function of a play called All Jews out of Europe, put it in the museum, which has no theater but an auditorium, and charged over an entry of 30 pesos. The INT, in agreement with the provincial government, armed theater this function theoretically funds were intended to promote regional theater. I think that the INT does not have to bring a piece of Buenos Aires, with actors from Buenos Aires. You need to put the loot in the casts Neuquén, that's why. The Buenos Aires that will reward the delegation of Buenos Aires.

- whom he considers a person in relation to the scene Neuquen?

- Alicia Fernandez Rego. It's like Boero of Neuquén. Alicia was the owner of a room, Lope de Vega, but was closed three years ago. Now is giving workshops. She is number one. To honor her, the provincial government put his name to an art gallery, but she asked in writing to remove it because that space was never able. A shame.

- Do can live theater in Neuquen?

Having a laburo extra help. Here you can not work from Tuesday to Sunday and on Corrientes Street. It only works on weekends. So we all have other jobs. Generally, as teachers.

- Why did you leave Buenos Aires?

- Beyond cost me a Peru hold a work more than four functions. And that paid media. Always ended losing money. I ran out. Also banque I rather live in Buenos Aires is a city that overwhelms me. As I have family in Neuquén, I came here. I tried and liked. There is much to be done.
