Abstract
Even as interest in feminist theory and criticism in theatre and performance studies continues to wane (or, perhaps, finds itself remapped and redirected), interest in women, autobiography and performance is on the upswing. Auto/biography and Identity enters the field two years after the publication of Sidonie Smith and Julia Watson's collection Interfaces: Women, Autobiography, Image, Performance, but, in some contrast to this earlier text and its emphasis on the visual, Auto/biography locates itself specifically at the nexus between women's autobiographical writing and performance. As Gale and Gardner note in their introduction, by exploring theatrical women's writing about themselves alongside their often multiply-coded, fractious performances of their subjectivities and experiences, they hope to enable ‘connections between texts and performances, past and present practitioners, professional and private selves, individuals and communities, all of which have in some way renegotiated identity through autobiography’ (p. 5).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
