Air is a fundamental aspect of existence. Its vital role in sustaining life is matched by its phenomenological significance, defining our relationship to the world. Respiration implicates humans and non-humans in ongoing exchanges that indirectly connect all breathing entities (Štuva 2013: 131; Neimanis and Walker 2014). Many of these breathing bodies will experience the atmosphere in sensory and tactile terms: Sara Ahmed for instance urges us to ‘think of goose bumps, textures on the skin surface, as body traces of the coldness of the air’(2006: 9). As ‘the very medium that makes interaction possible’(Ingold 2012: 77), air also shapes human modes of expression, including performance. Yet our reliance on air leaves us vulnerable to its influence, as longstanding concerns about air quality register. Today, as Eva Horn remarks,‘[a] ir quality has moved from a local predicament to a global disruption, affecting not just local biotopes, landscapes, and settlements, but the entire life system of the planet’(2018: 7). Contemporary performances that render the air perceptible might in turn foreground urgent anxieties about our relationship with an element that remains virtually inescapable, regardless of how human actions alter the air’s composition, movement or affects.These concerns have taken on new significance in recent years. As the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was felt around the world, the related lockdowns imposed by governments were initially lauded for improving urban air quality (Rodríguez-Urrego and Rodríguez-Urrego 2020). Such gains were limited, with motoring organizations subsequently reporting pandemicrelated growth in private car reliance (RAC 2020: 6–23), while medical researchers posited an adverse correlation between air pollution and severe incidences of COVID-19 (Pei et al. 2021). More broadly, the collective experience of an
