from Neil Fisher I had the good fortune to work with ‘The Twisty Twinz’ during and following the Christchurch Arts Festival, winter 2009. They were part of the Loons Theatre Company that created Happy Home Road for the James Hay Theatre in August. Following this I then worked with them on a rework of The Butler, which had a run at the Loons Cabaret Bar, Lyttleton, and was followed by a short festival tour. These two extremely talented performers are a delight to work with and possess ceaseless energy and commitment to everything they do. They are resourceful, creative performers and are very willing to offer ideas and material for a ‘directive team’ to utilise and integrate into the production. They don’t wait to be asked for input and will produces a number of options for artistic consideration. They are always willing to spend extra time rehearsing material to a point that it can be incorporated at an appropriate level, and do not take umbrage if the offering is rejected for any artistic reason. They understand the dangers of what they do and are very aware and diligent in their preparation and the safety aspects inherent in this work. They work consistently and tirelessly at rehearsing moves and moments to reach perfection. They are open to trying out new material and approaches to working, in fact they consume new ideas and information, and seem to enjoy and rise up to the new challenges that appear in devising and creating new work. They are very supportive of other performers that they work with both inside the rehearsal space and outside as colleagues and friends and show great respect for the wide range of talents and skills they encounter. They also have great respect of the technical support they recieive in getting shows together. They both have a great sense of humour, which adds to their performance charm. I have no hesitation in recommending their work and their attitude. ---------------------------------- Tony
Rooke, The Twisty Twinz are a double bonus, unique in the world, creative and caring, skillful and playful. Working with The Twins since they graduated from circus school has been a delight. I book them for the National Circus Festival as often as I can and am always impressed by their performances and friendly attitude. They are the best identical twins on the international circus scene, by far. ---------------------------------- Testimonial
from Nicholas Frost I
first encountered Jola and Nele Siezen – known professionally
as the Twisty Twinz - in January 2009, when my artistic collaborator
Lisa Tui Bainbridge suggested a collaboration on our new concert / cabaret
project ‘Portraits: The Woman Outside’, to be premiered
at the Dunedin Fringe Festival in March 2009. I look forward with great enthusiasm to working with them on future projects. Nicholas Frost ---------------------------------- Angela
Driver The TwistyTwinz (TWINtastic) were an absolute highlight of Festivale 2009. Every time I looked around they were in a different costume and more often than not in some strange, but fabulous pose! Their professionalism and easy going personality was a joy to work with and I would welcome them back any time! Angela Driver ---------------------------------- MIKE

To whom it may concern, I have known and employed Jola and Nele Siezen as The Twisty Twinz for over four years. For
the last two years they have been employed on a regular basis to perform
and rove at The Loons Entertainment Venue. Jola
and Nele work regularly on Tuesday’s at The Loons as part of the
educational programme ‘Balloons’, where they are employed
to teach circus skills. The
Twisty Twinz were part of the original cast of The Butler premiered
at Circo Arts in 2006. They have since been exemplary as professionals
and performers. Highly creative and motivated. Jola
and Nele have been re-employed for a performance of Oak as part of The
Sculpture on the Peninsula Exhibition 2009. Jola and Nele have been employed as performers in the production of Happy Home Road as part of The Christchurch Arts Festival 2009 at the James Hay Theatre. What
makes Jola and Nele and The Twisty Twinz such excellent employees is
that you know you are going to get quality work and professionalism
from them. Yours
faithfully ---------------------------------- Chris
