Gary Baseman's "Giggle and Pop!" performed at ARTWALK Culver City. I'm so sorry I missed them. They look like they were having fun!

According to creator Gary Baseman, the ChouChous (those figures in pink) take away negative energy and hate (and, incidently, excretes it as creamy, gooey love...uh...yuk?). The ChouChous were performed by the Academy of Visual and Performing Arts, Culver City High School. Choreography was by Julie Carson, and that maddeningly infectious song is by Carina Round.
