The Flock At Roost
THE TEMPLE, on Salt Spring Island, is set atop a forested mountain ridge overlooking the sea. This magnificent church-like structure with its 40-foot peaked roof is home to Flying Dreams Aerial Arts Productions and plays host to their acclaimed Contemporary Aerial Circus theatrical performances which have taken the Gulf Islands by storm. Aerial arts classes and workshops are also held here along with a variety of Special Events ranging from weddings and barmitzvahs, to concerts and community gatherings, as well as fundraising and gala events.
Set up for The Dharma According to Fifi.
Seating 125 in this configuration.
This unique building — which seems to invoke the sacred, reminding us that movement and dance are expressions of the Divine — is imbued with a character and personality all its own and is often included in reviews of events held here. Says the Gulf Island Driftwood: "Held in the aptly named Temple, the building becomes a character itself, with the 25-foot window providing a backdrop of trees, sky, and ocean, and the mélange of silks, hoops, and trapezes transporting us to an unusual world where spiritual traditions meet flying circus performers."
