As the winter solstice approaches, some of us dream of summer and all of the many special activities that can be enjoyed outdoors immersed in the natural world.
Windhover Performing Arts Center in Rockport, Massachusetts will have a full program of arts activities for the public to enjoy in 2020. The month of July alone will have a concentration of dance events, leading the way with the PAUL TAYLOR 2 Dance Company returning to Windhover for their summer artistic residency starting Wednesday, July 8–Sunday, July 12th, 2020. Modern dance classes for all ages and levels will be offered that week. Open rehearsals on our outdoor stage will captivate the public by showing how movements are put together and phrases are constructed and perfected by the Taylor 2 Company Director Cathy McCann and the company’s six dancers. Concluding the week will be two full evening performances of Paul Taylor’s works that have not been previously seen at Windhover, taking place on Friday, July 10th and Saturday, July 11, 2020.
The Teen Dance Intensive takes place at Windhover during the week of July 12–July 18th concluding with a performance by the students on our outdoor stage (weather permitting) on Saturday, July 18th at 5:00pm.
Toward the end of July, the QUARRY DANCE lX will take place at an undisclosed location (to be announced in 2020). The Quarry Dances have attracted quite a crowd over the nine years of its existence, performed by the renowned Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre. Please save these dates of the 2020 quarry dance performances:
Friday, July 24th at 5:30pm; Saturday, July 25th at 11:00am and also 5:30pm; and Sunday, July 26th at 1:00pm. These special dance performances mark the unique topography of Cape Ann, drawing attention to these sacred spaces.
This year for the first time, Windhover has invited guest dance companies for residencies, culminating in performances throughout the summer. Details will be revealed in the next newsletter.
