PROFILE
At the age of 18, Alvin left his hometown in chilly western Canada to pursue a dream of performing the circus
arts. His journey began with four years of training in Montreal mastering skills in acrobatics, trampoline, dance, and clown. Armed with his new Circus Diploma, he traveled the world performing in diverse productions - including children’s theater, musicals, films, and traditional circus shows. Ten years after his departure, Alvin revisited a passion for business and immersed himself in his second degree, this time in Entrepreneurial Commerce and founded Soul Acrobats, a company dedicated to making “an art of the impossible” through moving documentary film, inspiring photography and ground-breaking training workshops. Alvin also performs with the renowned Cirque du Soleil, in KA, as a high-flying aerial artist and character understudy.
