FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE

Squiggle Wrestle

Performance with Andy Nicholas Li and Zachary Nicol

Thursday January 16, 2025 at 7pm

Andy Nicholas Li and Zachary Nicol will perform a "squiggle wrestle" in the windows of Co-Prosperity, as a closing event to Andy's exhibition, FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE. This performance spins the playful methods of D.W. Winnicott's squiggle game in child therapy, where Winnicott and the child draw intuitive squiggles and respond to each other by completing the drawing into creatures and symbols. Andy and Zachary will explore physical play with instinct and reaction, drawing from wrestling, cuddling, and dance improv. 

Hot tea will be available for audience members. Please feel free to bring your own mug!
