The site-specific outdoor Winter Sound Garden returns to the wooded banks of the Mississippi River at Crosby Farm Regional Park for the St. Paul Winter Carnival’s free and family-friendly “Winter Play Day” event. This performance will feature a roving site-specific movement score by dancers Gabe Anderson, Sarah Baumert, Suzette Gilreath, and Erika Hansen, in collaboration with Krista Langberg and JG Everest.
The immersive, self-guided Winter Sound Garden is a sound and performance installation featuring over 50 small speakers, each playing a different part of composer/director JG Everest’s spatial symphony, spread out across a couple of acres. Additionally, there will be bonfires, s’mores, live storytelling with Lisa Yankton, embedded poetry, a special winter song by Blue Lady and her Mni Choir, and other fun activities in the park.
