COLLABORATION WITH OILY CART
Commissioned by Manchester International Festival in 2009 Ockham’s Razor and Oily Cart co-devised ‘Something in the Air’, a piece of interactive physical theatre, specifically created for young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities or an autistic spectrum disorder.
For each show an audience of six young people and six carers are seated in specially created ‘nest’ chairs and raised into the air to fly in safety and comfort with the Ockham’s Razor aerialists in a unique kinaesthetic adventure.
We are touring this fantastic show once more this spring. Click here to watch a clip about Oily Cart and ‘Something in the Air’.

SUMMER SCHOOL
We were asked to run the 2011 summer school at Lancaster University. The workshop was a unique opportunity to experience the devising process as the company begin the development of new show Not Until We Are Lost. We looked at ground-based ideas – how to create atmospheres and environments for a promenade audience, how to move and manipulate an audience and the space around them, and how to create different worlds.

SATYAGRAHA
October-December 2011 we performed in Satyagraha with Improbable at the The Metropolitan Opera, New York. The performance on 12 NOV was broadcast live on HD in cinemas all over the world.
