About us
We are an aerial theatre company who combine circus and visual theatre to make work that is arresting and entertaining. We specialise in creating physical theatre on original pieces of aerial equipment and create stories from the vulnerability, trust and reliance that exist between people in the air.
The Company was formed in 2004. We all met while studying at Circomedia, Academy of Circus Arts and Physical Performance in Bristol. In spring 2006,Turtle Key Arts became our producers.
We were the first British company to be funded by Jeunes Talents Cirque. In 2006 we premiered our first full evening programme at the London International Mime Festival, to sell out audiences.
Since then we have performed in theatres and festivals throughout the U.K and in France, Belgium, Finland, Holland and Spain and have established a reputation for innovative, arresting, accessible performances.
The name Ockham’s Razor comes from a logical principle attributed to the mediaeval philosopher William of Ockham. It states that between two plausible theories, the simpler is preferable. It is called a razor because it cuts out unnecessary elements. As a company we work with this simple approach.
