PropertyExpected TypeDescription
Properties from Event
about Thing The subject matter of an object.
Inverse property: subjectOf
actor PerformingGroup  or
Person		 An actor (individual or a group), e.g. in TV, radio, movie, video games etc., or in an event. Actors can be associated with individual items or with a series, episode, clip. Supersedes actors.
aggregateRating AggregateRating The overall rating, based on a collection of reviews or ratings, of the item.
attendee Organization  or
Person		 A person or organization attending the event. Supersedes attendees.
audience Audience An intended audience, i.e. a group for whom something was created. Supersedes serviceAudience.
composer Organization  or
Person		 The person or organization who wrote a composition, or who is the composer of a work performed at some event.
contributor Organization  or

director Person A director of e.g. TV, radio, movie, video gaming etc. content, or of an event. Directors can be associated with individual items or with a series, episode, clip. Supersedes directors.

duration Duration  or
QuantitativeValue		 The duration of the item (movie, audio recording, event, etc.) in ISO 8601 duration format.

eventAttendanceMode EventAttendanceModeEnumeration The eventAttendanceMode of an event indicates whether it occurs online, offline, or a mix.
eventSchedule Schedule Associates an Event with a Schedule. There are circumstances where it is preferable to share a schedule for a series of repeating events rather than data on the individual events themselves. For example, a website or application might prefer to publish a schedule for a weekly gym class rather than provide data on every event. A schedule could be processed by applications to add forthcoming events to a calendar. An Event that is associated with a Schedule using this property should not have startDate or endDate properties. These are instead defined within the associated Schedule, this avoids any ambiguity for clients using the data. The property might have repeated values to specify different schedules, e.g. for different months or seasons.
eventStatus EventStatusType An eventStatus of an event represents its status; particularly useful when an event is cancelled or rescheduled.
funder Organization  or
Person		 A person or organization that supports (sponsors) something through some kind of financial contribution.

Offer		 An offer to provide this item—for example, an offer to sell a product, rent the DVD of a movie, perform a service, or give away tickets to an event. Use businessFunction to indicate the kind of transaction offered, i.e. sell, lease, etc. This property can also be used to describe a Demand.

subEvent Event An Event that is part of this event. For example, a conference event includes many presentations, each of which is a subEvent of the conference. Supersedes subEvents.

Gravity and Other Myths - Ten Thousand Hours

Tuesday, April 28, 2026 | 7:00 pm

Salle Desjardins

<img src="https://www.centredesarts.ca/img-activites/gravity-and-the-other-myths-1280x720.webp" />

Circus

Eight acrobats and one musician 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. Set to a driving, dynamic and intricate musical score using percussion/drums live on-stage, 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.

Regular tickets: $48
