Brian Sostek’s exploits have ranged from acting in some of Hollywood’s most quickly-cancelled sitcoms to touring internationally with percussive dance-theater company Joe Chvala and the Flying Foot Forum, in which he was described by The New York Times as “tiny and irrepressible.” Over the past fifteen years, he has parlayed his background in various dance forms (i.e., ballet, ballroom, Latin, tap), his lifelong experience with comedy and comic theater, and his fascination with verbal and physical play as a means of communication into a successful and constantly expanding career in performance art. He has created and performed comic, physical and terpsichorean work for numerous theater and companies in Minneapolis and St. Paul and has won several grants and numerous accolades from the press for his work. Brian has taught ballroom and Latin dance for twelve years and tap for ten years privately and at various institutions throughout the U.S.
