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

“aerial artistry…with ingenuity and theatrical flair”
The Times

Ockham’s Razor are an award winning 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.

We are in the process of making a new show
Not Until We Are Lost which will be performed at Malvern Theatre in April 2013. We are looking for 20 singers to take part in the live performances. You do not need to have any previous theatre or performance experience, just a desire to be involved.

Not Until We Are Lost will be a promenade/interactive performance where the audience pass through a fluid labyrinth that enfolds and opens around them. We will use aerial performance and a transforming set to create images and illusions which surround the audience as they journey through the narrative.

There will be a strong choral element to the show with a chorus of 20 singers embedded within the audience. Their voices will interact and reflect on the action of the piece. At times they will sing from within the audience at other times they will be unseen, outside of the picture, singing through the walls, or they will create tunnels of sound for the audience to pass through. There will be an original score composed by leading UK composer, Graham Fitkin. Not Until We Are Lost will tour across the UK and we are collaborating with different community choirs across the country. In Newcastle we are looking to set up a new group of people to become the chorus.

It will be the chance to get involved with an exciting project joining a ground breaking company and a leading UK composer to create a new and innovative show. It will offer you the opportunity to meet new people, experience singing new music and to be part of a truly memorable, landmark performance.

The show will take place in
April 2013There will be musical rehearsals leading up to the show with on-stage rehearsals between 30-1 March and evening performances 2-7 April 2013.
