Douglas Scott (Artistic/Executive Director) discovered dance upon entering Western Kentucky University to earn a B.F.A. in Performing Arts. After graduation, Douglas moved to Atlanta and spent several seasons with the Ruth Mitchell Dance Company, where he performed in works by Ruth Mitchell, Ron Cunningham, Monica Levy and Sal Aiello. In 1991, Douglas

founded Dance Force, Inc. He began his exploration of physically integrated (dancers with and without disabilities) dance technique in 1993, and this interest led to the creation, with co-founder Ardath Prendergast, of E=motion in 1995. In 1998, Dance Force and

E=motion merged to create Full Radius Dance.

In 2001, Douglas received, from the City of Atlanta, the Mayor's Fellowship in the Arts (Dance) and was named Creative Loafing Critic's Choice 2001: Best Dance

Choreographer. In 2004, he again received a Critic's Choice award for his work As the Horizon Fades. Douglas' work may also be seen in the HBO film "Warm Springs" (2005).

As a master teacher, Douglas has led workshops in physically integrated technique for numerous organizations and conferences, including

Chattanooga Parks and Recreation Department, VSA arts of Kentucky, the Coalition for Inclusion in the Performing Arts, the Multiple Sclerosis Society, the Children's

Institute (Pittsburgh, PA), the Lakeshore Foundation (Birmingham, AL), the Montgomery (AL) Therapeutic Recreation Department, the Edith Upchurch Forum on Innovative Recreational Programming, the National Dance Association/AAHPERD, Arts for All (Tucson, AZ), Shepherd Center (Atlanta, GA), VSA arts of Georgia's Summer Training Institute and the Amputee Coalition of America.
