Shaping Sound was established in Los Angeles in 2012 with a focus on contemporary dance and
choreographic artistry. Created by the 2015 Emmy Award winner (and six-time Emmy Award
nominee) for Outstanding Choreography, Travis Wall, along with partners Nick Lazzarini, Teddy
Forance and Kyle Robinson, the company is an evocative collaboration by diverse artists who
describe themselves as ‘visual musicians’ i.e. their dance gives shape and form to sound.
Shaping Sound has impacted audiences with a unique fusion of jazz, modern and hip-hop
choreography. The four young dancers broke into public awareness with the debut of their reality
television series “All The Right Moves” on the Oxygen channel which followed them in their quest
to launch the dance company. Since then, they have been showcased on all of America’s popular
prime time dance, awards, entertainment and music shows, including: “So You Think You Can
Dance,” “Dancing With The Stars,” “Glee” and “The 2013 Prime Time Emmy Awards.” They were
featured in Carrie Underwood’s Grammy Award-winning music video “Something In The Water,”
and they are frequent guests on “The Ellen Show.”
AFTER THE CURTAIN is the second show for the eclectic dance company, following on the heels
of the spell-binding Dance Reimagined which toured North America for four years. Conceived and
choreographed by Travis Wall, AFTER THE CURTAIN tells the story of a man fighting to find his
creative voice after the death of his one true love. Heart-wrenching, breath-taking and ultimately
uplifting, this is one dance show that audiences will remember forever. Travis Wall will be dancing
in the show throughout the tour, and he will be joined by his Shaping Sound co-founder Nick
Lazzarini. The remaining company of 12 dancers will be announced at a later date.
Artistic Director Travis Wall is the winner of the 2015 Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography.
He was the runner-up for the Fox reality show “So You Think You Can Dance” Season 2, and is
currently a resident choreographer for the national dance competition show. He is a five-time
Emmy nominated choreographer for his work on “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Dancing
with the Stars.” He choreographed the music video for Carrie Underwood's "Something In The
Water", which won the CMT Video of the Year, as well as stage shows for Justin Bieber and Demi
Lovato. Additional TV credits include choreographing the “82nd Academy Awards,” “Disneyland's
60th Anniversary Special” on ABC, the 2010 MTV “Video Music Awards” and an episode
of “Pretty Little Liars” featuring Maddie Ziegler. Feature film credits include choreography for The
Wedding Ringer starring Kevin Hart and the contemporary numbers for the feature film Step Up
Revolution. He had the privilege of working with First Lady Michelle Obama on her Let's Move
Campaign where he created the GimmeFive routine that was performed on “Ellen” and at The
White House. Travis teaches with NUVO Dance Convention. @TravisWall.
