OCKHAM'S RAZOR

PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF CIRCUS, THEATRE AND STORYTELLING.

OCKHAM'S RAZOR IS ONE OF THE UK'S LEADING CONTEMPORARY CIRCUS COMPANIES, CREATING VISUALLY STRIKING PRODUCTIONS THAT COMBINE ORIGINAL AERIAL EQUIPMENT, PHYSICAL THEATRE AND POWERFUL STORYTELLING.

Produced by Turtle Key Arts since 2006, the company has developed an international reputation for making ambitious, accessible work that places human relationships at the heart of extraordinary circus performance.

Founded by Alex Harvey and Charlotte Mooney, Ockham's Razor creates original productions using bespoke aerial apparatus and an inventive physical language that is both thrilling and deeply moving. Rather than presenting circus as a display of spectacle alone, the company explores trust, vulnerability and connection through performances that are imaginative, emotionally resonant and accessible to a wide range of audiences.

"Ockham's Razor is a hugely promising aerial company who don't just have superb circus skills, but also highly creative brains." - The Guardian

Over the past two decades, Turtle Key Arts has worked closely with Ockham's Razor to develop, produce and tour acclaimed productions across the UK and internationally. Together we have supported the company's artistic growth, helping to establish Ockham's Razor as one of the country's most influential contemporary circus companies.

The name Ockham's Razor comes from a logical principle attributed to the medieval philosopher William of Ockham. It states that between two plausible theories, the simpler is preferable. As a company they work with this simple approach.

Ockham's Razor are company in residency at artsdepot and an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation.
