Abstract or Description
For this multi-voice reading of ‘Girlspeak’ I invite the Out of Practice Seminar (Oops) participants to perform sections of a chapter with me and (the voice of) my garden chaffinch. ‘Girlspeak’ is a chapter in which I stage an interspecies (bird-human) conversation between a charm of winged female creatures perched on a tall pine branch above a raging forest fire. The conversation is composed of fragments blending speculative fiction, quotes and birdsong; mimicking adolescent girls’ prattle, and foregrounding this girlspeak as a radical strategy to harness alternative approaches to the patriarchal system’s impasse that is failing to act in the face of the current ecological crisis.
