Ten Thousand Hours

World-class circus for the whole family, but right here in your backyard.

We are all masters of something. Blink, step, jump, balance, flip, fly.

Eight elite acrobats investigate physical skill; how we obtain it, how we perfect it, and how it can transform our lives. This show is a tribute to the dedication required to become a world class acrobat. An acknowledgement of the backstory that is often more spectacular than the finished product. This is a love letter to our bodies and the incredible things they let us do everyday. 

This is an invitation to watch us work.
