Sivan realized it was vital to pair art with purpose and created her production company, Vision to Reality (VTR) to expand alternative ways to transcend dance. She creates uplifting, inspirational music with influential Grammy award-winning producers. She produced and starred in the sci-fi thriller “Through the Night,” a movie about the relationship between a mother and daughter where love wins at all times. At the premiere, Larry King said, “Through the night is a wonderful film, very professional, beautiful actress, terrific talent, very impressive, whoever is responsible for this is on their way in their careers!” Along with Larry, Nely Galán and Elliot Weisman are also Sivan’s mentors. VTR produces compelling content that empowers individuals to take action to live their life boldly and unapologetically. Sivan advocates, “Inspired Action Ignites Innovation!”
