Ockham’s Razor will premiere its new show Collaborator on Thursday 29 January 2026 at The Place, London, before touring across the UK until 11 March 2026.
Produced by Turtle Key Arts, Collaborator is an intimate aerial duet performed by Ockham’s Razor Co-Artistic Directors Charlotte Mooney and Alex Harvey. The show dives into the trials and tribulations of working with someone else, exploring creation, compromise, and the negotiations involved in any partnership.
Performed on a suspended metal frame, the production features choreography by Nathan Johnston and costume design by Tina Bicât. After decades of creating large-scale ensemble works and touring internationally, this marks a significant moment for Ockham’s Razor, bringing the focus back to its two founders.
Charlotte and Alex comment, “For 20 years we have been making circus together. Lifting, catching and carrying; stepping on and around each other. We have been dropped and have picked each other up. This new intimate duet is for anyone who has ever tried to make something with someone else: a decision, a work of art, a life.”
This will be the final time audiences can see Charlotte and Alex perform as a duo, presenting a distilled statement of their shared history and artistic trust. The company will also offer a unique opportunity to witness their creative process, opening rehearsals for four days to emerging performers, makers, producers, and students of circus or physical theatre.
Ockham’s Razor has earned an international reputation for visually bold productions blending aerial theatre with sculptural equipment and storytelling. Collaborator pares things back while retaining the inventiveness and emotional weight for which the company is known.
