I chose Alterra Productions after vetting several groups. I could not be more pleased! Alterra is professional, reliable, dedicated to making sure the event is just right, and friendly! I had contracted them for a classical ballet dancer. What I got was Lea McGowan, an extraordinary dancer; we wanted her to dance at my mother's celebration of life event, in honor of my mother having been an accomplished ballet dancer herself. Lea performed two dances, giving true honor to my mother through her excellent form and sheer elegance. The Director for Alterra came beforehand to make sure all was ready to go smoothly, and both came with costumes so I could choose which ones I thought were the best given the event's purpose and the music being played (and this was after a number of communications beforehand about music, costumes, etc., since they wanted it to meet my needs). You MUST contract Alterra if you want a reliable, professional resource for a performer - and if you happen to want classical ballet, ask for Lea McGowan. Wow! (Lea even stayed for a photo opp afterwards and half my guests ooh'd and ahh'd, taking photos and feeling that her dancing added an ethereal component to the whole evening). Fabulous! Beautiful! Bravo!!
Would recommend this for entertaining guest. Show is short.
My friends and family can not stop raving about the dancers!!.. The performance was breath taking!!!.. My husband and I were in AWE!!!.. The best gift ever!!!.. Thanks a million!!!

Yannick did an awesome job as young Teddy Roosevelt
Lena was great to have with us. She was early and engaging and creative and communicative of what she needed.
Lena was a great to have with us! Professional, creative, and she was early and communicative to her needs.
Very nice group of dancers.
Very hard working.
They tried their best to provide a great show and they did. They came on time and performed as long as we had requested.
Their costumes were not as interesting as expected. And the music didn’t start very good but was upgraded as we asked them.
Yannick was wonderful in his role of Town Crier for our event. There was little instruction and he was great at creating new and engaging ideas for the role. Working with Cirque Du Nuit was also a pleasure. They provided me different actor options along with requested voice exerts to ensure I had the right person for the job. Will definitely consider working with them again if another event needs staffed.
Kaitlin Chin was amazing and the kids loved her. We would definitely love to have her back again next year...
Response from Alterra Productions:
Thanks so much Stephanie! I had an amazing time and would love to see you all again next year.
The fun started with the first phone call. Kaitlin was extremely easy to talk to and work with. She immediately had a grasp of what I envisioned for my husband's surprise murder mystery party and suggested ideas that helped make this event fun. She said that she had the perfect person in mind to organize the party and flow of the night. Our actor was Yannick and he was the perfect fit for our group. He was helpful, professional and always had a handle on everything that was happening. Prior to the event, he took the time to discuss my plans and ideas over the phone, text and e-mail. His prompt responses kept me at ease and confident for the success of the night, especially because he was coming from a few hours away to facilitate the event. His background on the specifics of our murder mystery proves that he takes what he does seriously. He had to have researched the material that I sent him thoroughly because he knew aspects about the mystery that slipped by me. He was able to coordinate and follow my timeline and the storyline flawlessly. Overall I want to say that this night was So Much Fun!! I highly recommend Cirque Du Nuit and if you have the chance to have Yannick for your actor, take it!
Response from Alterra Productions:
Thank you so so much for the opportunity to work with you on this! We were so pleased to be in on the surprise, and Yannick had a great time prepping for the role and performing with you all the day of the event!

Cirque du Nuit did a superb aerial performance at our gala: Vampyres' Lair. We developed an idea for a vampire theme, which Kaitlin Chin executed magnificently. She is creative, reliable, responsive to ideas - and stunning in performance. The costumes, hair & makeup were elegant, and the sound track that she made was sophisticated and set the perfect tone. The guests were absolutely amazed by the performance.
Response from Alterra Productions:
It was amazing working with you all! I wish we could give full client reviews, since you all went above and beyond to make sure that we had a good space to get dressed and warm up in, provided ample hospitality, and were incredibly warm and welcoming. Thank you for having us!

Very talented young lady. We will 100% use her again in the future.
Response from Alterra Productions:
Thanks so much, Joshua! I so look forward to working with you again.
Kaitlin was amazing! I was blown away by her performance. I hired her as a "Living Statue" for my daughter’s Sweet 16 and she was everything I wanted and more. Our guests were talking about her well after the event concluded. Her costume and acting were so "real" most guests thought she was a statue and never suspected she was a real person until she moved, otherwise she stood as still as stone. I wanted her to hand something out to them as they passed and she made a wonderful suggestion of fortunes, which worked out great. She also secured a ballerina in a bubble for my daughter’s grand entrance. I would hire her again and highly recommend her for your event. Thanks Kaitlin!!!
Response from Alterra Productions:
Thank you so much for having us out! It was a joy to perform for your daughter.

Alterra Productions, led by director/performer Kaitlin Chin, is an independent interactive-immersive circus company born out of You Are So Lucky Productions in 2016. Alterra’s first event as a collective, “Night of Fire”, established them as an “interactive-immersive circus company”; using their various barrier-breaking entertainment skills to engage with event guests and provide spectacle on both a grandiose and intimate level.
Alterra Productions continued to work with You Are So Lucky, performing at both large and small events- most notably their Halloween parties at the W.B Thompson Mansion in Yonkers, NY, and their mini-festival in July of 2017 (to which they received a write up in Vogue magazine). Having created memorable performance pieces and improvisational moments at these events, Cirque du Nuit has caught a reputation of being the go-to performance company for You Are So Lucky.
As the company has grown over the years, Alterra has independently created and curated performances for corporate events (both big and small businesses), private parties, theatrical shows, art festivals and more. Equipped with a large roster of talented performers and creatives (over 90) and a skilled directorial/management team, Cirque du Nuit performances can range from Broadway-style dance routines, Masquerade Balls, immersive “Murder Mystery” nights to all out “Cirque du Soleil”- esque spectacles.
