About Us

About us

Duo No Nonsense is a circus company founded in 2015, by the American, Scott Makowske and, the Dutch, Sanne Hamstra. This duo graduated from the Academy for Circus and Performance Art in Tilburg in the Netherlands.

Over time they have created a wide range of circus performances. From narrative performances without spoken words, in a more modern circus-theater genre. To classic circus acts where you can simply enjoy high quality circus arts.

Scott and Sanne have been training various circus disciplines since they were very young. Through there years of training they developed a wide variety of skills, and they obtained a good level in juggling and diabolo. This duo specialized in the discipline partner acrobatics, where they excel at a high level. They continue to train and develop new skills in order to push the limits of what is possible.
