Grrl Action, an Austin-based writing and performance program for teenage girls, is a space of affective seepage—of permeable boundaries between audience and performer. The complex desires enacted in its public performances deconstruct the unidirectional empowerment rhetoric so prevalent in youth “outreach” programs and complicate broader assumptions about audience-actor relationships.
