He is a trained actor, stuntman, high diver, comedian, circus instructor, acrobat and world-class aerialist. He is a graduate of the National Institute of Circus Arts, was one of the original ensemble members of Circa (Australia's premier circus company), starred in and directed a major Cirque du Soleil production, and performed at the 2014 Sochi Paralympic Games with Danielle Finzi Pasca. James is also the founder of two self-produced collectives called The BOB Collective and A Movement of Humans.

James' work is about illustrating the vulnerable aspects of the human experience and then pushing them to their emotional and physical limits. He uses his connections in the entertainment industry to mentor new artists and organise events. He uses his experience with physicality and anatomy to heal through deep tissue massage.
