Partner acrobatics, fire dancing, juggling, stilts and character work. Scott has been bringing warmth and spectacle to stages, festivals and dance floors since 2010.
Hailing from Ann Arbor, Michigan, Scott began his journey into circus and healing movement arts in 2010. He believes that freeing the body is a way to free the mind and spirit, and his performances and teaching invite people into that same sense of play and self-discovery.
His range runs from partner acrobatics and stilts to juggling, character acting and fire dancing. He has performed across the United States (Alaska included) and in South and Central America.
When he isn't upside down, Scott is an arborist. He's grounded and at home among trees, until the lights come up.
Book one act or combine several into a show built around your event, from strolling entertainment to headline stage sets.
Scott is a strong base for standing acro, two- and three-highs, and dance acrobatics. His lifts make trust and strength visible.
Choreographed fire for festivals, night markets and celebrations: a headline moment that stops the crowd.
Hat juggling, fan manipulation and object play, delivered with a showman's timing and a bowler-hat grin.
Larger-than-life stilt walkers and fully realized characters for strolling entertainment, stage combat and immersive events.
From the Psychedelic Chapel at Electric Forest to community ecstatic dance, Scott keeps the room moving.
Private lessons, classes and skill shares in acrobatics, circus and healing movement arts, for all levels.
This year Scott was the wedding DJ in the Psychedelic Chapel at Electric Forest. He took the stage in a yellow suit, with fan manipulation and hat juggling between the vows.
That's his kind of gig: part performer, part host, and always the warmest person in the room.
