Ballheads

 Ballheads is a performance where suited Ballheads walk around playing, dancing ,following each other having........a ball.
The original idea came after making a ball from paper mache , as I like masks and performance it was an obvious decision to put the ball on my head. Then after making lots of globes for Festa De Gracia ,Barcelona there was the opportunity to make the Ballheads a bigger performance , so one afternoon in winter we took to the streets of Barcelona. The films show the results(ballheads ytube)
 The original ballheads had no eyeholes this made and interesting performance where the performer could not see, however for the 10 ballheads we made eyeholes. This is a performance that is 'in progress' 
So far we have performed at the body and Soul Festival and Glastonbury.An aspect of this work will be a photo-documentation project.
   More coming soon.
