'Performing Millennial Housing Precarity'

The authors are conducting a joint practice as research PhD, concerned with the conditions of millennial precarity. One of these conditions is housing. Having set up a number of experiments within our domestic environment, we created responses through a piece of work we have titled House Box (2017). House Box contains performance writing in the form of scores, sound observations and maps, and an audio tour of the house. The intention is that our work is both created from these conditions, and is about these conditions. This paper defines the term millennial and provides some context for the concept of millennial housing precarity, whilst looking at our lived experience of housing precarity, and utilising extracts and interruptions from House Box.
