The NZ Festival of the Arts is in full swing and includes a show on in Auckland and Wellington, embracing
Malcolm Gladwell's idea that it takes ten thousand hours to master any skill.
So how do you apply that to a live circus performance when things often don't work out?
Lachlan Harper is an ensemble acrobat and production manager of internationally acclaimed Australian contemporary circus company Gravity & Other Myths whose show Ten Thousand Hours, which sold out at last year's Edinburgh Festival, has huge potential for things to go wrong!
