First Annual Atlanta Body Art Ball


Ever since my last production in New Orleans, I have been dreaming up another fantastic body art show. And so, thanks to Randi and Ken of the Chelko Foundation and their belief in me, my dream became a reality on Saturday, July 20th, 2013. After 6 months of intense planning, the first production ever of the Body Art Ball was put on at Atlanta’s fabulous Paris On Ponce. The Ball was a huge hit and both shows were sold out!




 The show, with 15 of Atlanta’s best performers and 15 of our most talented body artists, was the first of its kind on the Atlanta scene.  Dripping with fringe and red velvet as the backdrop, Paris on Ponce made the perfect venue for this early era style vaudeville show. The musical stylings of DJ Swivel, mixing the 1920s-1940s tunes with the contemporary gave the show that extra sense of being in a time long past.  

We were also blessed to have as our guest Ring Leader, Body Paint Girl AKA Adelle Lennox.  Joining us all the way from Maui, her character added the perfect element of comic relief, leaving our audience feeling inspired and delighted. Video of 2013 Body Art Ball by Tim Cofield
