TRAVIS WALL and BREAK THE FLOOR PRODUCTIONS are pleased to announce national tour dates for the second work by America’s hottest dance company, TRAVIS WALL’S SHAPING SOUND. After The Curtain will begin touring March 1, 2017 in Utica, New York and will play 19 cities with a Vancouver premiere on March 25, 2017 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.
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.
After The Curtain is the second work for the eclectic dance company, following on the heels of the spellbinding 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, breathtaking and ultimately uplifting, this is one dance show that audiences will remember forever.
TRAVIS WALL, Artistic Director, 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 six-time Emmy nominated choreographer for his work on So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing with the Stars. 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.
