Born in 1993, 13,000 kilometres apart, the two founding members of Hands some Feet are Liisa Nuuk from Tampere (Finland), and Jeromy Nuuk from Perth (Australia). They met each other in Brussels, Belgium during their 3 year training at the prestigious circus school “École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque” (ESAC)”. And in 2017 Hands some Feet was born!

They now tour and produce contemporary circus works around the world, with a mission to make circus accessible to everyone. Their performances are rooted in narrative and emotional connection, exploring meaningful themes through physical storytelling. By blending circus with physical theatre and movement research, they create rich, multidimensional works that resonate deeply with audiences of all ages.
