ANNOUNCING THE 60 SECOND TRAILER FOR QUARRY DANCE lX NOW

Windhover Performing Arts Center announces this 60 second trailer for Quarry Dance lX for you to view here below. The 30-minute film is still being edited, and original music is being composed for the film now by Russ Gershon.

In July 2020, Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre was in residence (safely) at Windhover, bringing two dancers at a time from New York to create solos and duets at three private Cape Ann Quarries. Boston based videographer Anders Johnson filmed the dancers from floats and boats in the quarry waters in order to capture unusual angles. The stunning results will be shown on the Windhover website via You Tube in early September. www.Windhover.org   So stay tuned.

The Quarry Dances were born from a vision of Ina Hahn, Windhover’s founding Director, whose goal was to marry the art of dance with the pristine granite landscapes of the magical quarries of Cape Ann.

The hummingbirds in our back yard have been VERY active recently. They have been flitting, flying, dashing and chasing each wildly other like a bunch of toddlers let loose on a playground. I was even able to capture two together in the image below.

Apparently this behavior is not unusual at this time of year when the young hummingbirds have fledged, so it really is like backyard full of wild toddlers. See this link: http://www.wildbirdsunlimited.typepad.com from Nancy Castillo.

I am sorry Joey, I am not trying to rub your face in it. Just sharing what I think our readers and followers might be interested in. 😆

Also sharing a different clip (taken prior to water restrictions) showing a hummingbird bathing happily. Similar to one I shared previously and still delightful.
