Ten Thousand Hours, Gravity & Other Myths

Everybody is a master of something. Blink, step, jump, balance, flip, fly.

This is an ode to the countless hours needed to achieve great things. A tribute to the dedication required to realise our physical ambitions. An acknowledgement of the backstory that is often more spectacular than the finished product.

Eight elite acrobats investigate physical skill; how we obtain it, how we perfect it, and how it can transform our lives. Through highlighting the nuance of high level acrobatics, audiences experience a heightened appreciation of the countless hours required to master the skills they are witnessing. Ten Thousand Hours is a revelry of the distinct physical language that defines GOM and a celebration of the pursuit of mastery.

This is a love letter to our bodies and the amazing things they let us do every day. This is an invitation to watch us work.

“Once again gravity and other myths bring shock, awe, and delight.” — Glam Adelaide ★★★★★
