Wind Piece takes form at the festival through the installation of 840 pinwheels, creating a pathway for three performers to perform their interpretation of wind, while two-three musicians live-score the performances on their wind instruments. After the performance, the audience is invited to walk the pinwheel path and take as many pinwheels as they like.

As an artist, composer and performer, Lauren C. Sudbrink's work is concerned with possibilities of social engagement, collaboration and play. Her intermedial work considers possibilities of the participatory function of art within an ever shifting constellation of systems and processes. With a background in visual art, performance and music, Lauren endeavors to create projects that are accessible to a wide range of audiences, presenting exhibitions and opportunities in which anyone from the novice to the expert can find something relevant to their lives, practice or experience. Her creative practice brings folks together via collaborative and interactive exhibition prompts and themes, leading to community-building and connection-making with artists across disciplines and audiences of all backgrounds.
Sudbrink's hope for future work is to continue providing and expand upon ways to provide opportunities to explore the possibilities and inspirations for artists, musicians and creativity of all stripes considering their roles in labor and the re-inscription of the creative process. She is committed to creating artistic environments that are inclusive, diverse, accessible and culturally relevant, where performers and audiences alike are invited to be active participants in the work.
