From choreographing award-winning stage productions and Netflix hits to creating dance experiences across entire buildings and immersive events for fashion powerhouses like Vogue and Bulgari, James is a multi-hyphenate force in contemporary movement.

 

From his London base, where he leads his internationally acclaimed company and was recognised with an Olivier Award for his work on the hit immersive production of Guys & Dolls, he has worked with luminary directors such as Baz Luhrmann, Dame Arlene Phillips, Sir Nicholas Hytner, Marianne Elliott, Nadia Fall and Sir Matthew Bourne, whose visionary approaches have inspired him and elevated his craft.

 

His work, grounded in the rigour of contemporary dance, fuses a unique blend of storytelling, strikingly original movement and unparalleled audience experience to transcend traditional boundaries. Reaching across scales and spaces and seamlessly integrating different genres and mediums, James crafts performances that are as visually breathtaking as they are emotionally resonant making him a highly sough after collaborator. 

​

James believes in championing individuality and creating joyful environments where creativity and excellence thrives. By nurturing young talent and enriching the arts and entertainment landscape, he aims to inspire dialogue and connection in an increasingly divided world.
