Forecast is a collective performative event taking place in changing atmospheric conditions and drawing on the format of a weather report. The human voice, breath, movement, and sounds produced by the body become means of creating atmospheric phenomena. A group of performers gradually creates shifting weather conditions, from waiting and still air through mounting tension, wind, rain, hail, and thunder to their gradual fading away. Here, human bodies are not observers of the weather, but its temporary carriers and media.
