Melody Nolan is a handstand artist and circus creator from California and studied at Codarts in Rotterdam. In 2021, she won the BNG Bank Circus Prize.
An avid explorer of her physicality and environment, Melody draws inspiration from a physical approach to artistic inquiry, balancing technique and creativity. In her work, she combines handstands with acrobatic movements to create an interesting dialogue between body, space and expression.

Hendrik van Maele graduated from the Academy of Circus and Performance (ACAPA) in Tilburg in 2017. Here he focused mainly on partner acrobatics and founded the collective Familiar Faces with his fellow student, with which they won the BNG Circus Prize in 2017. Inspired by the Alexander Technique, he began to become more aware of the habitual patterns around him. In addition to being a performer, Van Maele is also a director at TENT and others.
