"We "Act" because we are passionate, we are interested in the human condition, for the complete joy of it, and because we are storytellers that want to share our gifts.

The "Business" demands that we are prepared, relaxed, and fully confident at every turn. Much like Olympic Athletes, we "Actors" must train smart & consistently so when an opportunity is in front of us we have the presence of mind to succeed.

James' ongoing classes provide a venue for developing methods while applying authentic self awareness to the technical craft of acting. Incorporating all acting methods, practical tools, & with simple applications for achieving your goals."
