I'm Scot Robinson, he/they, who escaped the NYC stress-grid in 2002, then co-established Flying Turtle Dance in 2003. Dance community building and bridging has been the center of my life since then. I've hosted holiday feasts and dances of up to 100 people, have formed and sustained an oversized ark of friendships, have been called out for my excesses and devoted myself to repairing harm, and now I live a more hermetic life on Vashon Island, caring for my 91 year old Turtle-mother Carol.
