A professional tightrope walker is passing on his skill to people who struggle with anxiety and want to improve their Bullzini from Shepton Mallet has toured the world and performed his high-wire shows for Cirque du Soleil and several Tim Burton settling in Somerset, he decided to teach tightrope walking workshops to help people overcome any difficulties in life they might face."The wire is a real metaphor, everyone is walking a tightrope and has a high wire to cross in some way, whether it's their family, their career, their confidence, " he explained. Mr Bullzini said he found his love for tightrope walking when he was a teenager."When I watched somebody else walk on the wire there was something almost mystical, it looked like it defied gravity," Mr Bullzini said."I thought she was floating. I wanted to create that sense of wonder that I experienced, I wanted to create that in the audience that watched me."When he was 18, he decided to leave the UK and travel around the world, learning the craft of tightrope eventually decided to settle in Evercreech, near Shepton Mallet. He still performs alongside teaching people his skill."If you can do that [tightrope walking] in the physical world, you can apply those same techniques to the rest of your life."Mr Bullzini said the "most exciting" thing about teaching people is to see the "look of success on their faces and hear about how it's transformed them"."If people hear these words and they are questioning whether or not to go for their weird artistic career or get a sensible job in an office, they would at least consider putting some energy into the eccentric career."Mr Bullzini offers the workshops free of charge at his circus yard outside Shepton Mallet. He said his next run of courses will be announced soon.

Jessica Kistermann puts on a VERY racy display in a black fishnet dress and underwear at the Fiuggi for One Drop party during Cannes Film Festival amid the ban on risqué outfits
Jessica Kistermann put on a very racy display at the Fiuggi for One drop party during he Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday, amid the ban on risqué outfits. The businesswoman, who owns fashion brand Crime London, pushed the limits in a black fishnet dress, with matching underwear underneath the sheer outfit. She boosted her height in strappy heels, and was one of the only guests to wear a see through outfit. She was joined by her sister and business partner Lisa, who went braless in a racy sheer white lace dress. Hosted in support of the One Drop Foundation, the event will raise vital funds to support access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene around the world. And despite the raunchy looks at this event - which featured a DJ set by PAWSA and a performance by Cirque du Soleil - decency was expected to cast a tall shadow over the 78th Cannes Film Festival. Over recent years the star-studded extravaganza has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette. But new nudity rules, devised for 'the sake of decency,' will be implemented when French director Amélie Bonnin's Leave One Day opens the ceremony this week. According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to the stifle the celebrity trend for 'naked dresses' - namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal - on the red carpet. 'For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,' states a Cannes festival document. 'The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.' The surprise new policy features in a recent festival-goers charter - released with a series of outlines regarding expected public behaviour. Guests are expected to converge on the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière for some of the highest profile film screenings across a packed seven day schedule in Cannes. It's understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline grabbing ensembles. Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, 'with or without a heel', will also be permitted. This year's Cannes Film Festival is taking place in the wake of Trump´s vow to enact tariffs on international films. Cannes, where filmmakers, sales agents and journalists gather from around the world, is the Olympics of the big screen, with its own golden prize, the Palme d'Or, to give out at the end. Filmmakers come from nearly every corner of the globe to showcase their films while dealmakers work through the night to sell finished films or packaged productions to various territories. But Trump sent shock waves through Hollywood and the international film community when he announced on May 4 that all movies 'produced in Foreign Lands' will face 100 per cent tariffs. The White House has said no final decisions have been made. Options being explored include federal incentives for US-based productions, rather than tariffs. This year, some of the first-time filmmakers at Cannes are already particularly well-known. Kristen Stewart (The Chronology of Water), Scarlett Johansson (Eleanor the Great) and Harris Dickinson (Urchin) have all unveiled their feature directorial debuts in Cannes' Un Certain Regard sidebar section. Many Cannes veterans have returned, including Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning), Robert De Niro - who received an honorary Palme d´Or 49 years after Taxi Driver premiered in Cannes - and Quentin Tarantino, who paid tribute to low-budget Western director George Sherman. Over recent years, the star-studded extravaganza has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette. But new nudity rules, devised for 'the sake of decency', have been implemented at this year's festival. Good old fashioned decency is expected to cast a tall shadow over the 78th Cannes Film Festival, with organisers refusing access to anyone wearing 'naked' dresses (pictured: Bella Hadid, left, and Natasha Poly, right, on the red carpet at previous Cannes ceremonies) According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for 'naked dresses' - namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal - on the red carpet.

Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, 'with or without a heel', will also be permitted. While the decision to implement a more stringent policy will be a first, it is not known if French TV broadcasters, wary of airing nudity, played a role in its enforcement. Major red carpet events, including the Cannes Film Festival, are aired in France by France Télévisions.
