Production Gallery: Ockham's Razor

Airborne stills from the acrobatic theatre company's productions

These photographs shows Ockham's Razor in performance. While there is a fierce kinetic energy to their work, photography captures something of its still beauty. The images come from four shows they have devised and performed on their own - Memento Mori (2004) Every Action... (2005), Arc (2007) and The Mill (2010) - and Hang On (2008), created in collaboration with Theatre-Rites.

Derevo: Absolute clowns

ARCHIVE Daily Telegraph, 16 January 2001: Russian clown troupe Derevo have been likened to a cult. Ismene Brown met founder Anton Adassinski

Clowns are supposed to be chubby, grinning, funny, with anarchic hair and big red noses, like Coco. Or they are Chaplin-types, oppressed little city folk mutely combating the vast machines of the working life. They are not generally shaven-headed skinny men and women with beaky noses, starved cheekbones, and a way of life so severely monastic that it would drive you or me stark staring mad.
