The Xrossing Project Launch

SeedArts proudly presents:
The Xrossing - a breath-taking highwire tribute to Con Colleano, a Gamilaroi-man born in Lismore 1899 who became the greatest tightwire artist of all time known as The Wizard of the Wire. His grace, style and achievements have never been paralleled.

Come down to The Quad on May 18, starting 5pm till 7pm, to learn more about this daring event happening on July 8 – 9.

With a special guest appearance by Philippe Petit, the famous funambulist from ‘Man on Wire’ - Twin Towers walk in 1974 - Aquarius Festival 1973 Nimbin walk.

Find out how you too can step into Con Colleano's shoes and become part of Wizards of the Wire funambulist workshops. Funambulism is wire walking with a balance pole.

Hear from the local creative team about how they will suspend highwires 6 meters above and 60 meters across the Quad,

Learn how you can participate in the community Wizards of the Wire funambulist workshops, July 1 - 4
