MimeLondon returns to Shoreditch Town Hall for 2025!

Ockham’s Razor is one of the UK’s leading circus theatre companies. For the past 20 years it has specialised in using original circus movement to create arresting, visual stories. It starts from the vulnerability, trust and reliance that exist between physical performers. This workshop will be delivered by the Artistic Directors of Ockham’s Razor, Charlotte Mooney and Alex Harvey, together with Nathan Johnston, Associate Artist and choreographer of its latest show, Tess.  

The two-day workshop will explore techniques of partner work and lifting, the crossover between circus and dance, and playing with images within movement and how these can be read.   

In the morning sessions participants will work with Nathan to explore ways in and out of circus and dance lifts, looking at how to bridge and play with the moment when we move from floor to air.  

In the afternoon sessions participants will work with one of the Company's Artistic Directors to look at approaches to reading movement, ways to interpret movement from the body, and methods and approaches to draw out or adapt meaning.  

This workshop is suitable for circus or dance graduates and professionals with experience in partner work and lifting.
