UPCOMING PROJECTS
Diaries from Ukraine
Within days of the beginning of the war a group of young people start recording audio diaries and interviews in English about their journeys across Europe, hiding within Ukraine, and under Russian occupation. In this verbatim performance, actors use this moving and harrowing audio in real time, painting a vivid portrait of the profound and mundane changes in the lives of these young Ukrainians. The result is a riveting narrative about their journey from teenagers in a prosperous independent country to refugees fleeing their homes or trapped under Russian occupation.

What I Learned On My Red State Vacation
In the summer of 2017 Scott traveled to the three most rural conservative counties in the United States to share every breakfast, lunch, and dinner one-on-one with someone who lived there. The result in an interactive performance sharing stories and media from the journey while unpacking the audiences expectations of who lives there and how they think.

MileWalks
MileWalks is a solo outdoor urban theatrical experience where the audience member follows a one-mile path through a NYC neighborhood while listening to a recording of someone else traveling that same path and sharing their thoughts about the experience. The result of this simple and intimate journey is often unexpected, always perspective shifting, and reveals the speed at which the city changes. Participants are also encouraged to record their own walk of an existing map and add to the database of recordings for others.
