4Cs Haunted Sculptures

With the generous support of the 4Cs Foundation, Alderney Landing is pleased to present "Haunted Sculptures"  - large scale sculptures created by local children, artists and community members. The sculptures, based on the collected stories of Dr. Helen Creighton, will be displayed in Alderney Landing's outdoor event plaza and will be "Illuminated" on October 17th at 7:00 pm during Nocturne (see below), a city wide arts festival.

“Aerials at Alderney” – Experience the gravity-defying magic that is Aerial Dance at Alderney Landing’s outdoor stage – an awe-inspiring series of aerial ballet performed on Fabric suspended 10 to 15 meters in the air. In these unique, ethereal acts, the performer uses the fabric to wrap, suspend, fall, swing and spiral their body into and out of various positions in an exciting display of strength, creativity, coordination and flexibility. Also known as Aerial Tissu (French for fabric), Aerial Contortion, and Aerial Silks, these performances will leave you “walking on air”!
