Description

Windhover Performing Arts Center, Rockport, MA welcomes the New Hampshire-based Saving Grace Dance Ensemble, led by Artistic Director Robyn Movsessian, to its outdoor stage this June.  This inspiring and collaborative evening of dance will feature: Douglas Davis Ballet (NH), Solo artists Michael Dascomb (NH) Emily Lutts (ME) and Maille Zelko (NH), Miss Kelsey’s Dance Studio (NH), Maine Dance Company (ME), NSquared Dance Company (NH/NYC), Russian Ballet Academy (NH), Safe Haven Ballet (NH), Speaking in Taps (Greater New England),

Saving Grace Dance Ensemble will present several new works at Windhover. “Redeemer” is a modern duet by guest choreographer Steve Rooks of The Martha Graham Dance Company, and Artistic Director Robyn Movsessian will showcase three new works. Included in the program will be Saving Grace’s contemporary ballet “Jubi”, short for jubilee; the art of celebration! This vibrant and joyous ballet explodes with bright blue leotards and hot pink sparkling tutus to the music of Michael Torke. 

On a more somber note, this program also includes a special tribute to Movsessian’s nephew who died of fentanyl poisoning in 2023. “Going Dark” devotes movement to music by Johann Johansson and Rachmaninoff’s “Vespers” to tell the story of a mother and her son, the pain of loss and the peace of ethereal resolve.

Tickets are Students, $25, General $35, available at Windhover.org

Performances are rain or shine.  Guests are welcome to bring a picnic and enjoy the magical Windhover grounds before the show.
