Sophia LaVonne's passion for the genre defying arts led her to study at NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study where she received a grant for the duration of her time to contribute to the school's performing arts program. It was here that she created the school's first dance technique program combining teachers from the Underground, Broadway, Concert Dance,and commercial worlds, while learning about various forms of narrative story telling through acting, performance art, and filmmaking. 

​

She went on to pursue both experimental and commercial works. Theatrically, she has had featured roles in live shows for Baz Luhrmann, at Moscow Opera House, Lincoln Centre, The Apollo Theatre, and Fringe Festival. As a dancer, you can catch her on Netflix, FX, Vogue, Paramount Plus, BET, E!, for brands like Moschino, Marc Jacobs, Nike, Pandora. She has been in several global commercials with directors such as Dave Meyers, Jeremy Scott, and Paul Briganti and has equally enjoyed doing improvised shows at Upright 

Citizens Brigade Theatre, Brooklyn pop ups, and West Coast Forest Festivals.  

​

Through her studies at NYU, shadowing an Oscar nominated producer, and interning at Michel Gondry's Partizan Pictures, Sophia has also stepped behind the camera. As a director and creative, her work has appeared on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, the online edition of Vogue Magazine, in music videos for Ireland's Hot Press Magazine, and most recently for the Adidas x Karlie Kloss campaign, which found it's home on several international billboard. She has choreographed for Nike Industrials, BETs Wild Out Wednesday, TruTV, Adidas, and Marc Jacobs. Her current creative work can be found as part of the artist collective For Feels.

​

Regardless of the medium, Sophia's presence and work is characterized by her pursuit of connecting individuals to their own raw feeling, as well as to one other. She looks forward to continuing to bring her zest for experimentation, versatile industry experience, and immersive commitment to heighten each creative vision.
