About this Event

Join Annie Nicholson AKA The Fandangoe Kid for a special dance party to remember loved ones. Movement and dance are powerful ways of connecting with our grief and each other. The pandemic has disconnected us in so many ways and taken away opportunities for us to be together, to support each other and to share in collective remembrance.

Get down on our impromptu dance floor, connect to your grief through your body, and be with people who get it. Dancing toegther is an amazing process that can help you move in and through your loss.

We'd love to hear your stories and memories, and will be on hand to chat while busting some serious moves.

About The Fandangoe Skip *on tour*

Following 2021’s successful UK tour of The Fandangoe Whip, Annie Nicholson, AKA The Fandangoe Kid has partnered with Skip Gallery and CAUKIN Studio to present The Fandangoe SKIP, an ice cream kiosk made from a re-purposed skip in London and New York. The original project toured the UK offering ice cream and mental health support to diverse communities as we began to emerge from the global pandemic and all its challenges. Founded by artist Annie Nicholson, following her own experiences of grief, this project seeks to smash taboos around grief and mental health and offer an alternative space to open up the conversation, alongside a therapeutic program curated by The Loss Project.

We are excited to bring the Fandangoe Skip on Tour to Brookfield Place New York in partnership with Brookfield Properties who are commissioning us. The New York installation will be created from a repurposed dumpster and feature a wide array of public programming, including talks, workshops, and arts activations on the Waterfront Plaza at Brookfield Place.
