Never when entering into a theatre space have I been told ‘don’t sit in the front row if you suffer from a nervous disposition’, this is a first, setting the scene for a show that would clearly present risks, simulating stunts and circus skills that are incredulous, Tipping Point does not fail to meet my expectations. Ockham’s Razor produced by Turtle Key Arts presents Tipping Point, in collaboration with London International Mime Festival. In this feast of modern visual theatre, Ockham’s Razor presents a twist to the traditional circus identity, in an attempt to demonstrate a magic, only derived from this sense of performance practice.
Today marks the beginning of a month long celebration of all things Circus, Film, Visual Theatre, Physical Theatre and Puppetry. The London International Mime Festival has been championing leading voices in a range of theatrical disciplines for 4 decades now, and shows no signs of slowing down. A total of 18 shows promise to surprise, inspire and bring a sense of daring with their individual perspectives on the world. Theatrefullstop were able to speak with Joint Artistic Director of Ockham’s Razor, Charlotte Mooney who will be presenting Tipping Point at this year’s festival about the festival’s importance within the theatre world, how Tipping Point was created and the audience’s reactions to the show so far!
