He has produced and created six shows that have toured to theatres, festivals, universities, schools, and corporate events. The company has also made appearances in Italy, England, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brunei, Israel, and South Africa. Faustwork’s first symphony show, Face the Music, was created in 2006 and performed in Wichita and Arkansas City, Kansas.

Mr. Faust has also performed and choreographed with Pilobolus Dance Theater, Martha Clarke, Jules Feiffer, Mangrove, and the Paul Winter Consort. In 2006 Mr. Faust played the roles of Oberon and Theseus in Motus O Dance Theatre’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
