    I, Symbiont

    symbiont, noun, ˈsim-bē-ˌänt 
    : an organism living in symbiosis 
    especially : the smaller member of a symbiotic pair

    Through a documentary approach drawing on interviews with expert and lay symbionts, Jenny investigates examples of capitalist resistance through mutually beneficial exchange between humans and the non-human.

    Untitled

    This show is about being on hold, about navigating a maze of phone systems, about dealing with obscure rules and vague guidelines. Drawing on experiences of Universal Credit, the performance will look at automated systems gone wrong - the way that benefit claimants can get lost in a web of bureaucracy.
