Now, I have only just heard about this amazing event (which is why it is already midday before I write about it) BUT there is still a chance to catch some of the amazing events around London today.
Cirque du Soleil type acrobatics are coming to London for one single extraordinary day in July (today). Commissioned especially by
the Mayor of London and London 2012 Festival, Brooklyn's visionary choreographer Elizabeth Streb hopes to thrill
London with an electrifying series of daredevil, surprise events around the City. Streb aims to totally disarm spectators with her one-off creation! Performers push the human body to the impossible, by creating daredevel stunts that relate to ancient rituals from around the world. Already this morning the STREB team have executed the 7:30am 'Waterfall', a bungee jump from the Millenium Bridge which allows them to 'kiss the water' and the 10:00am 'Skywalk' where spectators could see the STREB team running down City Hall.
For 12:30pm, get to St. Paul's cathedral sharpish, where the performers will be attaching themselves to a spinning steel wheel. It's bound to be breathtaking. As time marches on, their website releases information about their next movements, so be sure to keep track of them here.
