BRIAN GIBBS was born in Charlotte North Carolina. He studied visual arts for 11 years and was also a skateboarder. While attending North West School of the Arts as a visual artist he was invited to take dance class by one of the dance teachers. He went onto the Charlotte City Ballet School for classical training under Claudia Folts. Later he was accepted into the North Carolina School of the Arts college program where he continued his training in Contemporary, Ballet and Composition.

Upon graduation Gibbs moved to San Francisco to freelance and choreograph. His works have been performed onstage by world-class performers, projected during fashion shows and featured in a three-page spread in the summer issue of Movmnt Magazine, with the editorial by recently retired San Francisco Ballet principle Muriel Maffre. Within a years time his association The Artist Group (TAGsf) has accumulated over 30 dance films, shot by videographer Matthew Taylor.

Brian’s choreography is situated between classical technique and contemporary. Modern dancers appreciate it because the movement involves technique, while ballet dancers appreciate it because there is more freedom in the movement. Because his style cannot be grouped into anyone category, Gibbs calls it “Thirdstream” or “Progressive”.

Currently Brian is working on getting his association TAGsf into a full fledge company using they’re new and unique delivery system including multi-media and pop cultural elements such as fashion, music, design etc.
