Ten Thousand Hours
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 raise 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.
