ARTISTIC POLICY
Ockham’s Razor is three aerial artists who specialise in creating physical theatre around new pieces of aerial equipment. The company aims to combine circus, dance and visual theatre to make work that has a narrative structure.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘Dazzling airborne routines.’ The Telegraph

‘Daring aerial theatre.’ The Independent

‘Physically thrilling.’ The Sunday Times

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Arc The production takes place on an aluminium aerial raft rigged 3.5 metres off the ground. The structure seems to float in the air and up-ends half way through. (30 mins, with no interval, 3 performers.)

Every Action…25 metres of rope looped over two pulleys. If someone pulls on one side of the rope, the rope on the other side is affected (20 mins, with no interval, 4 performers.)

Memento Mori An intimate duet performed on a simple suspended metal frame. (13 mins with no interval, 2 performers.)

WRAP-AROUND
All the members of Ockham’s Razor are fully trained aerial teachers and hold regular workshops. The company also offers Q&As.
