SIMPLICITY is the key to the aerial dance routines performed by Ockham's Razor.
All three pieces took place high up in the Nuffield auditorium on specially built pieces of equipment.

The range of emotion expressed by the four dancers who took part was astonishing.

The key piece was Memento Mori. Just two dancers (Alex Harvey and Charlotte Mooney) on a trapeze-like structure, he dressed as a skeleton representing death, she in a bright red dress fighting off the inevitable. It was mesmerising.

The first dance, Arc, the story of three people shipwrecked together and how their relationship turns from bewilderment to anger and then a state of acceptance was cleverly done.

And the final dance, Every Action, where four people find themselves thrown together and we explore their different personalities through movement was playful and fun. Dressed in 1920/30s gear it was like a scene out of Atonement, before it all goes so terribly wrong.

Each piece was complemented by fantastic music.

The dance company has won several awards for its stunning combination of circus and visual theatre.

Tuesday night's show was high quality entertainment and definitely worth seeking out.

*Ockham Razor is a logical principal which states that between two plausible theories, the simpler is preferable.
