Back in the day, a dude called Malcolm Gladwell popularised the 10,000 hour rule; a theory that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to master a complex skill, whether that be playing the violin, coding, or standing on the shoulders of another person, tumbling off into a third person’s arms and making it all look easy. The 10,000 hour rule is no doubt the inspiration behind local acrobatic and circus legends Gravity & Other Myths new work, Ten Thousand Hours, and what a pleasure it is to watch these masters at work. The format is simple (and completely family friendly): bodies move through space. There are few props, no complex structures, towers or wires, just humans doing amazing things. Along the way there are a couple of games, a bit of audience interaction and live drums accompaniment. (There’s also the odd slip or fall but that doesn’t matter; up they get and on they go, because mastery of any art is never ‘done’, rather it’s a continual state of learning and practice.) There are plenty of genuine jaw-dropping moments and jeopardy, and more than one occasion where your eyes don’t quite believe what’s happening in front of them (hello upside down pyramid with hanging ankle hold). Us humans. The things we can do. The lasting impression Ten Thousand Hours leaves is one of joy, even glee, thanks to the smiles, high fives and eye contact from the young performers who look like they’re having the time of their lives. Ten Thousand Hours, Gluttony, until February 25, times vary.
