You’re Invited to a Party: Three Women’s Autobiographical Plays in a Festival Context
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The festival culture of Australia provides many of the same opportunities for women playwright/performers as festivals in Canada, allowing access to a unique confluence of popular art with a progressive social agenda. In January 2020, I attended the High Performance Rodeo (HPR) in Calgary, to see a performance called Bliss (The Birthday Party Play) by Jamie Dunsdon. In February and March 2020, I attended the Adelaide Fringe Festival in Australia and saw Gobby by Jodie Irvine and The Daly River Girl by Tessa Rose. All three of these plays are autobiographical one-woman shows that are built around the theme of creating a celebration as an occasion for looking back at past trauma and current identity. Further, each of these plays contains some kind of personal revelation, although not of what might be immediately expected, evoking the idea of a surprise party. All three performances take the risk of juxtaposing autobiographical confession within a celebratory theatrical framework in the context of a larger festival event.

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.
