He has reinvented himself over and over again for the top circus companies in the world. He is also a teacher, a writer, a father and now an arts manager. Whether it is climate change activism, awareness about AI, physical health, circus dramaturgy or fair payment for artists, James will see an idea all the way through until completion.

Achievements of note are Zaia for Cirque du Soleil, Scotch and Soda at the Chamäleon, ensemble member for C!RCA & Compagnia Finzi Pasca, assistant director at Sochi Olympic games, and the creation of YOU, his solo show about the climate crisis.

He has created two companies, The BOB Collective and A Movement of Humans which produced 7 full length shows over the last 14 years. He has also created over 200 individual circus numbers over his 20 year career.
