Windhover Center for the Performing Arts needs your help and support for 2018. We have exciting plans for this next summer of 2018 which includes a return of the great Paul Taylor 2 Dance Company to Windhover in August. The entire company will be in residence to perform Taylor repertory, teach master classes, and engage in some community based programs such as open rehearsals and exchanges of ideas about dance in today’s world.
The Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre will return to Windhover to teach a week-long dance intensive for teenagers in July. This will be followed by Quarry Dance 7, performed for the public for free at the MANSHIP QUARRY located in the Lanesville section of Gloucester. Paul Manship was a great 19th century American sculptor who settled in Cape Ann and purchased a home and studio on the site of two quarries in Lanesville. This magical 15 acre site is now a non-profit retreat for artists, and Quarry Dance 7 will highlight the terraces and grounds, the historic barn, granite garden and the twin quarries. Parking has been arranged at the Lanesville Community Center nearby, so the Quarry Dance plans are in place quite early this year.
All of these events depend upon the support of this engaged community and of those who love the arts, and dance in particular. Windhover is a non-profit 501© 3 organization. Please consider a year end donation in any amount to help us fulfill our mission and to bring these programs to the public in 2018. You can donate through the website: www.windhover.org or by sending a check to: Windhover, P.O Box 2249, Rockport, MA. 01966
Thank you for your assistance and for your help in continuing the legacy and dream of Windhover Center for the Performing Arts into 2018 and beyond.
With best wishes for the New Year,

Good Morning Gloucester 
Thanks James I like what you had to say in this about how the this property is continuing the art circle and all the talked about areas. I left my presence on or around while working there outdoors mostly but some inside( the little barn to right house up net to first quarry and big barn set back headed toward Washington Street off Leverett Street) . As a young lad I spent lot’s of time around both quarries and swam in the second one be one think it’s called Gannery’s heading toward Rockport on Washington Street. We just called in Manships quarry, this area does look a lot like the back side of quarry but I could be wrong been a very long time since the 1960’s…Dave.
