Scott
Roskilly spends his days as an analyst at the American Cancer Society, where he has been employed since 2002 after graduating from UT-Austin with a Masters degree in Social Work. Scott has had professional experience in movement, recreation, and fitness since the early 1990s. His background in these areas include working as an instructor of high ropes courses, basic rock climbing, backpacking, rafting, canoeing, yoga, and even step aerobics!
Among his catalogue of physical feats are five marathons, including one for the Leukemia Society's Team in Training Programs and (more recently) a century ride in the Texas Hill Country benefiting the Austin Cycling Association. Scott currently enjoys cycling, running, dance, and yoga in Austin, TX. He has enjoyed teaching Yoga for his fellow performers in recent years and is now teaching at South Austin Soul Artpad.
As a founding member of DA!, Scott has performed with coffee cups in both incarnations of Direct Object, clung to door-jambs in Lisa del Rosario's Relative Space in December 2008, and originated the role of Sven, the dance-happy clean Norwegian, in Leave it to Beverly in November 2009. Scott has also been a major player behind the scenes, assisting with DA!'s Heron and Crane at FringeNYC as well with with the collective's curation of Mi Casa Es Su Teatro as part of FronteraFest 2010.
Performances outside of DA! include Willi Dorner's Bodies in Urban Spaces for the 2009 Fuse Box Festival and various shows with Ariel Dance Theatre, with whom he recently joined forces to perform in Big Range Dance Festival and in Shift Switch Go.
