2026 Quarry Dance

Description

Windhover Center for the Performing Arts invites the public to experience Quarry Dance
its signature summer performance event, featuring a site-specific work by New York City-based Alison Cook Beatty Dance.

Free and open to all, Quarry Dance transforms one of Cape Ann's historic quarries into a breathtaking natural stage where contemporary dance and the landscape converge. Alison Cook Beatty Dance will create the work on site as part of a week-long creative residency at Windhover.

Performance times include complimentary shuttle transportation to and from the quarry.
Because the performance site is located on private property, parking is not available at the quarry. Audience members should park in the Windhover parking lot near 247 Granite Street (by the Windhover sign), where shuttle service will depart for the performance site. Shuttles will run from WIndhover from 1:30–1:50PM on Friday and Sunday, and from 10:30–10:50AM on Saturday. 
Admission to Quarry Dance, including shuttle transportation, is free. No advance registration or RSVP is required. Donations in support of Windhover's programming are gratefully accepted.
In the event of inclement weather, performances may be canceled. Audience members are encouraged to check Windhover's website for the latest event updates.
Windhover gratefully acknowledges the generous support of the Rockport Cultural Council and the Gloucester Cultural Council for making Quarry Dance 2026 possible.
