About

He creates warmth where there wasn't any before.

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.

Reel

Live at Electric Forest.

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.
