Light · Fire · Art
Three businesses.
One crew.
A venue usually books light from one company, performance from another, and art from a third, then spends the run up getting three vendors to talk to each other. We are not that. Light is Bliss, fire and human performance is Sutra Productions, art is Nathan Skyhorse. Three businesses blended, each one representing the other two from inside its own, so the night arrives already coordinated.
Who does what
Three lanes, one crew
Each of us leads one lane. None of us is a stranger to the other two, which is why there are no handoffs for you to manage.
Light · Encinitas, California
Bliss Productions
Light is the lane we lead. We draw the lighting plot, install it around your operations, calibrate it at night, operate it through the evening, and strike it without a trace. On a venue night that is the facade and ceiling wash, the laser moments, the garden and path light, and the scene changes that give cocktail hour, dinner, and the later hours each their own identity.
It also means the plot is drawn with the other two lanes already on it. Where an aerial rig hangs and where an art piece sits are decided before the first fixture is specified, not worked around afterward. Nathan’s art currently comes in through us, so for most venues the art and the light arrive on one agreement.
Fire and human performance · Encinitas, California
Sutra Productions
Sutra Productions describes its work as aerial artistry, fire performance, and bespoke spectacle for weddings, corporate galas, and private events of distinction. In practice that is lyra, silks, aerial chair, hammock, chains, and lollipop hoop, aerial bartending including a champagne pour above the room, fire and LED performance, and bespoke productions with custom choreography, costuming, and specialty performers.
Founder and lead artist Sutra Winter is a nationally recognized aerialist and choreographer, with thirteen years of aerial experience and ten years teaching professionally. Sutra Productions works out of Encinitas, the same town we do, serves San Diego and Southern California including Los Angeles, Orange County, and Palm Springs, and travels for destination events.
Sutra contracts directly, and the blend runs both ways: she brings us into her events and we bring her into ours. A venue that starts with either of us is already halfway to both.
Art · Malibu, California
The Allsphyr
The Allsphyr is Nathan Skyhorse’s studio, working in large scale art: commissions, concept designs, visual projections, structures, and jewelry. Their own description is transforming vision to large-scale architectural masterpieces, bringing ancient architecture and energies of nature to new world designs.
The geometry is the signature: no straight lines, only curves of the divine proportions, drawing on the 3D Flower of Life, the Tree of Life, and Metatron’s Cube. Their own portfolio includes Wynn Palace and Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps. The studio is based in Malibu, California.
Nathan is tied in closely enough with us that his work currently comes to a venue through Bliss rather than on its own agreement. One less contract, same artist.
How a three lane night runs
What changes when all three show up
A night built by three businesses that already work as one crew does not look like three vendors sharing a load in.
The site walk covers all three lanes at once. Where an aerial rig can hang, where an art piece wants to sit, and where the light has to come from become one set of decisions instead of three, made before anything is specified.
The lighting plot is then drawn around the rig points and the art rather than after them. A mirrored piece gets lit as art instead of catching a wash by accident. A fire act closes on a lighting cue instead of on a stopwatch. One production schedule covers load in, show, and strike.
On paper it stays simple. Bliss contracts and Sutra contracts, and Nathan’s art currently comes in through us. So a venue signs with at most two companies, often one, and never has to assemble a production out of three separate vendors.
We are still three businesses, and we are not a merged one. What makes this different from a referral list is that each of us represents the other two inside our own work. Sutra brings us into her events, we bring her into ours, and Nathan’s pieces move through both.
- One site walk covering light, rigging, and art placement
- Lighting plot drawn around the rig points and the art
- Fire and aerial cued to the light, not to a stopwatch
- One production schedule for load in, show, and strike
- At most two agreements, often one
Proof · Mission Pacific, Oceanside
One night, all three lanes
A corporate evening at a boutique Oceanside hotel. We ran the light: a moving wash across the courtyard and facade, a lit garden path, and a laser experience through the later hours. Sutra ran lyra, aerial bartending, and the fire act that closed the night. The mirrored pieces guests kept stopping to look through are The Allsphyr’s. The client scoped it once, not three times.
The first frame is two lanes at once: a Sutra fire performer, seen through an Allsphyr mirrored installation, with the light we ran behind them.
Scope
What this is, and what it is not
This is venue and event work: hotels, restaurants, ballrooms, grounds, and private events at any scale, down to homes. Our healing space programs, the pediatric rooms, infusion suites, behavioral health spaces, veteran programs, and memory care work, are Bliss alone and stay that way.
