Women’s Theatre Festivals as Counterpublics: Groundswell, FemFest, and The Riveter Series
Bibliographic record
Abstract
On 3-4 May 2013, Calgary’s Urban Curvz theatre company held a cabaret called Girls Gone Wilde as part of a handful of events dubbed The Riveter Series. On their website, artistic director Vanessa Sabourin and artistic producer Jacqueline Russell explained that:A study conducted in 2006 on The Status of Women in Canadian Theatre estimated that while 59% of Canada’s theatre-going audience is female, only 27% of the plays produced in Canada are written by female playwrights. Inspired by Femfest (produced by Sarasvati Theatre in Winnipeg) and The Groundswell Festival (produced by Nightwood Theatre in Toronto), this event will feature sizzling staged readings to light up the Calgary stage across two nights. In a country where more and more brilliant female writers are born and made, Girls Gone Wilde will bring these commanding and arresting voices to the forefront of Canadian culture!

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
