Forecast

A reflection of life in Leeds, a forecast for a trip out in (un)predictable weather. This animation uses sand and silhouette to respond to the poem ‘LiLACs Shipping Forecast’, which was in turn created as a response to Radio 4’s Shipping Forecast. Animator Rozi Fuller and Puppeteer Liz Walker were commissioned by Artlink West Yorkshire to create this piece for Light Night Leeds. LiLAC is a group of adults with learning disabilities who worked with poet Becky Cherriman to create the poem as part of Artlink West Yorkshire's ‘Get Started’ project.
