Sean Colley

About

After graduating with a Masters Degree in Civil Engineering in 2009 Sean joined the Franco Dragone Entertainment Group in Belgium to help finalise the training and formation of The House of Dancing Water. He then followed the team in Macau as the programmer of the stage lift system for the creation of the world’s largest and most complex water-based show.

Six years and two thousand shows of intense performer flying live shows later, Sean transferred his skills to a more corporate role as the Senior Show Technician at the Wynn Palace, one of Macau’s largest luxury resorts. As one of the team leaders Sean was responsible for programming and maintaining the automation systems in multiple zones throughout the hotel.

Sean was previously a freelance automation technician based in the UK working on multiple projects in and around London. In 2023 he moved to the United States and joined the cast and crew of Cirque Du Soleil’s The Beatles LOVE, and later had the honour of operating the final show in 2024.

He is currently working as a Show Operator at Cirque Du Soleil’s dazzling MJ One show in Las Vegas.
