He has received nominations for his work on Beautiful Burnout (Drama Desk Award, New York), The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (Olivier, Tony and Fred Astaire Awards). With Steven Hoggett he won the TMA Award (now UK Theatre Award) for Best Direction for Othello. He has created productions and/or provided movement direction for productions at the Royal National Theatre, National Theatre of Scotland, National Theatre Wales, The Royal Court, The Donmar Warehouse and Singapore Rep. He has developed and written extensively about The Frantic Method. His recent directing credits with Frantic Assembly include Metamorphosis, Othello, TOUCH, I Think We Are Alone, Sometimes Thinking, Fatherland, and Things I Know To Be True. He also recently co-directed Carnival for Aurora Orchestra and the South Bank Arts Centre.

He has just written the third edition of The Frantic Assembly Book of Devising Theatre (Routledge) and recently developed The Frantic Assembly Studio, an online educational resource. Scott created Frantic Assembly’s hugely successful Ignition programme.

Scott believes the relationship between Frantic Assembly and education is vital and symbiotic. “As soon as I learned something I wanted to pass it on. Not enough of us are told that we can, that we are welcome, and we have a voice. It is so important to pass on the skills or inspiration that can empower creativity.”
