INTRO TO AERIAL HOOP & STATIC TRAPEZE

While a staple apparatus of the circus, in its own right, the Static Trapeze also instils in students a skill set that is integral to Dance and Swinging Trapeze. Once students become adept at using the Static Trapeze, they will progress to using the Aerial Hoop. The Aerial Hoop, also sometimes referred to as lyra or cerceaux, is a dynamic aerial apparatus that makes use of combined strength, flexibility, and creative movement, while static or spinning. Please note: We recommend that students registering in this class have completed a session of classes on Aerial Silks.

Byron Bertram @ Lafflines Comedy Club

Having come from an artistic background (father a musician, mother an artist, and grandfather the famous painter, Toni Onley) Byron Bertram’s extroverted personality comes naturally. With his training in drama, performing arts, and circus skills, he began performing street theatre at an early age, and subsequently performed at festivals around the world (The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, The Halifax Buskers Festival, The Singapore River Festival, The Vancouver Comedy Festival, etc.).
From there, it was a natural progression to stand-up comedy, which he has performed at comedy fests and venues worldwide, from Europe to Australia, to the USA. A physical comedian who specializes in voices, accents, and impersonations, he gains new accolades and fans whenever and wherever he performs!

Feast on the Fraser - Piva on the Pier

Tourism New Westminster is kicking off its third annual Feast on the Fraser in style with “Piva on the Pier” on September 14. Guests at the event will be the first to get a taste of Piva, the much-anticipated modern Italian restaurant opening this fall in downtown New Westminster, and they'll enjoy local craft beer and wine on the city’s spectacular riverfront.

But the launch is just the appetizer for the feast to come: 10 days of signature culinary experiences taking place throughout New Westminster from September 22 to October 1. From tastings and cocktail parties to neighbourhood food tours and long table dinners, the menu includes a Mad Men Mixer at the retro-cool Mid-Century Modern Home store, a Speakeasy Prohibition Gala at 100 Braid Street Studios, a Beauty and the Beast Tea Party and a Canada 150-themed dinner on the Fraser River, to name a few.

Events showcase local restaurants and local ingredients from the Fraser Valley, but Feast on the Fraser is about more than just dining. “It’s creating these cool collaborations between chefs and producers and the unique spaces we have in New West,” says Tej Kainth, executive director of Tourism New Westminster. “Our events are smaller and more intimate, to give visitors a real taste of what we have to offer here.”

Feast on the Fraser has grown since its first event only two years ago, but its focus remains on creating must-do “Made In New West” experiences. This year’s presenting sponsor, Alpine Credits, shares this vision. “We're happy to support this wonderful community initiative to help promote New Westminster as a destination,” says Kerilee Raven, from Alpine Credits.

Feast on the Fraser is made possible with the support of its flavour sponsor, the Fraser Valley, and campaign partners including the City of New Westminster, Downtown New Westminster BIA, Landcor Data Corporation and the River Market.

Tickets are now available for Feast on the Fraser. To see event details and buy tickets online, visit the event's website above.

Phil Johnson @ Lafflines Comedy Club

Phil Johnson is a man who gets mistaken for a woman, but only by those not paying attention. That revelation kicks off a battle for self-awareness where comedy and music are the weapons of choice. It's a battle that has taken Phil to such esteemed festivals as the Edinburgh Fringe and Sundance Film Festivals and the Top 8 Finals of the World Series of Comedy.
On stage, Phil's playful humor and likeable, endearing manner allow him to shake things up without antagonizing the audience. In the end we can only be who we are, try to understand others, and hope they understand us.

Evening in Tuscany

Want to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable and lonely seniors in New Westminster?

This October 1st at 5:00pm Seniors Services Society will be holding our 3rd Annual Evening in Tuscany event; an Italian inspired dinner and show at La Perla Ballroom at the River Market. The funds raised will go directly towards the operation of our Support Services programs, which serve over 700 New Westminster seniors annually.

A non-profit agency, Seniors Services Society provides a range of services for seniors who need a little assistance to live safe, comfortable, healthy and independent lives. In the last year our programs have included:
Meals on Wheels: 7,423 low cost, nutritious meals delivered to over 60 clients
Dining & Lunch Club: 141 trips on our 16 passenger bus to eat and socialize in local restaurants
Better at Home: 7,057 appointments to provide housekeeping, grocery shopping, transportation & support calls
Assistance, Information & Referrals: 137 volunteer-led sessions to assist with income benefits and form filling
Social Programs: 238 outings to entertainment, attractions, the Farmers Market, Nordic Walking and the mall
Income Tax Preparation: 800 free tax returns filed for low income seniors

These programs are not fully funded, and are run by over 100 volunteers. In order to keep them fueled we rely on generous annual donations from individuals and businesses in our community. We need your support to continue these vital Support Services. These programs are a basic need. Your support can change lives. Help us make a difference.

Tickets are $100, and include dinner, a show and a $50 tax receipt.
