Our Brand New Permanent Tent Covering takes Center Stage in our back garden! (May 15, 2022)
WINDHOVER Center for the Performing Arts is ushering in a new era!
Windhover is open! We hosted our first gathering of performance artists this past weekend, and there are many more gatherings and retreats to come. Our Windhover season really began with the showing of the premiere of Quarry Dance X: The Film, on April 24, 2022. Many thanks to the more than 300 of you who tuned in. It was great to know that so many in our audience share our enthusiasm for this unique dance form which combines the art of dance in the natural world.
In addition to showing the film, we hosted conversation among the creative team of artists who made the film, including the choreographer, several of the dancers, the videographer, the producer and the composer of the music. It was a thrill to listen to them share their perspectives on their collaborative process. There was also a time for a Q & A with the viewing audience.
The making of this film highlights one of the core principles here at Windhover — collaboration. We offer the opportunity for artists to spend time together, to work together, and to create together. And with your help, we will continue to do so.
For those who missed the premiere of the film on Zoom, we’ve posted a link on the Windhover website for all to enjoy. Please share it with others. You can see the premiere of the film here windhover.org and Windhover’s YouTube Channel.
