Background
A HeckmondLight festival commission designed to celebrate a Heckmondwike lad John Curwen (1816 – 1880) who grew up to be a music educator and founded the tonic sol-fa system of musical notation, best exemplified by Julie Andres teaching the children ‘Do-Re-Mi’.
Description
Talking Heads are perfect in an outdoor location as dusk falls, and passers-by start to realise that they can become part of the installation.
Find yourself reciting famous lines from history or singing ‘Doe a deer, a female deer’ from the Sound of Music! This playful installation often has everyone laughing their metaphorical heads off.

Talking Heads
This piece offers audiences a shared experience with space for many household groups to maintain good social distancing.
We do offer direct interaction by taking images of participants faces, however there is no requirement for audiences to touch anything and the process can maintain adequate social distancing.
Depending on the nature of the event audience numbers may need to be controlled. However as the content has no start or ending it spreads out any audience surges.
