Abstract

Gravity and Other Myths (GOM)1 is a Contemporary Circus2 company based in Adelaide, South Australia. The company is internationally renowned for its breathtaking and daring acrobatic group-partnering work. GOM has achieved remarkable success and has managed to not only keep going through the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020–21, but also to expand and grow, recently premiering a new show, Pulse, in the 2021 Adelaide Festival which featured 30 acrobats and 30 live singers.
