Abstract

ABSTRACT This article recounts a day at Mexican writer, activist, educator, and performance artist Lia García's “elementary school”: a “school” that takes the form of invited performances in other teachers' classrooms. It studies García's staging of an applied theatre workshop at an elementary school in November 2020 with her children's story Pan de Mia as its script. In an analysis of García's practice as a transfeminist artist and educator, I argue that García's emphasis on an affective education of culinary preparation in which children's capacity for consent is central offers a transfeminist lesson about children's right to bodily autonomy and consent.
