Victoria Watcher posted topic Europa Super Circus

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Europa Super Circus" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tight-wire acrobats, roller skaters, clowns and even the Wheel of Death: Europa Super Circus pitched the high-top tent today at the Saanich Fairgrounds, ready to bring exciting live magic to audiences April 4-13.

"Cirque du Soleil can't come to small towns like this, and that's really one of the beauties of a tent like [the one] Europa Circus has. It's traditional circus of the purest, oldest kind," said aerialist with the show, Ess Hodlmoser.

The performers are from around the world, many from families of multi-generational performers. That includes Erica Cardinali, who made her debut in her family's circus in Portugal, and Jose Armando Ponce Ramos, a fourth-generation performer who has done the Wheel of Death since age nine. If that's not impressive enough, he also holds a Guinness World Record for the most blindfolded turns on the wheel, a massive rotating apparatus upon which Ramos does acrobatics.

Victoria Watcher posted topic [North Park] 932 Balmoral Rd. (First Met. church) | 128 Rentals + arts centre

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "[North Park] 932 Balmoral Rd. (First Met. church) | 128 Rentals + arts centre" in forum "City of Victoria".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
With many congregations shrinking, places of worship are looking to expand their role in Canada's communities.
"There's many churches across the country that I think are faced with the same position," says Chris Quigley, director of development at Aryze Developments (https://aryze.ca/).
That position is often having large properties with parking lots that are both expansive and expensive, sitting empty six days a week.
The congregation of the First Metropolitan Church in downtown Victoria left the sanctuary on Quadra Street in 2023. The 1913 Gothic revival church is still a place of worship for three small churches that gather only on Sundays.
"We were approached by the United Church of Canada," says Quigley. The crux of the call was a way to reimagine the 112-year-old church.
