"We are so happy we hired Chris James to teach a 2-day Stage Combat workshop! Having a change of voice is always great for the students, and Chris knew his stuff! He was very kind and approachable, knowledgeable, engaging and fun! Chris was professional and clear on instructions. He was communicative, affordable and easy to book. Banting Memorial HS would be happy to have him back in future years and highly recommend him for other's looking to book an in-class workshop!"

Despite the iffy weather, my first unarmed stage combat workshop with Studio Theatre Worcester happened, and I dare say it was a success. More will be coming throughout the year to meet the considerable demand, so stay tuned! For now, it's off to shower and then become one with the couch. #stagecombat #theaterworkshop #studiotheatreworcester #everythinghurts https://www.instagram.com/p/CpYMOTRuqXL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Great pirate show Daughters with 2 at the Stone E Lea Golf Course, lots humor and stage combat. We had fun, and got to see old friends. On a personal note, it brought back a lot of memories from my stage combat days, both of friends and acting. #fun #friends #theater #outdoors #stagecombat #pirates #memories #CCPA #cumberlandcompanyfortgeperformingarts https://www.instagram.com/p/ChQN4BSPtFz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
My March update post, with shows, events, and other news. #BaldManFighting #Opera #StageCombat #Zorro
Hello, welcome, come on in, I’ve got some news for you.
So, to start, I have a very good friend named Kostis Protopapas, who I have been fortunate to know for over 20 years. He has been not only a great friend but a major influence and mentor in the world of opera to me. We first worked together back with Tulsa Opera in the early 2000s. Since then, we have worked together multiple times with…
Part of my journey in Martial Arts is stunt-work. I’ve been privileged to get to join @stagecombat at a few jobs. @hbo_beforeigners was taken of HBO for some reason, but now it looks like they can be available again! Will it be a season 3? Who knows, we all hope so. Here’s a little throwback! (ved Oslo, Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnQYZfIoGYf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Breaks in between stage combat rehearsal let me test my body language for new poses for upcoming cosplay. Figured I’d get more finesse regarding a few certain sword wielding lads. #mocap #stagecombat #dantesparda #wardarksiders #jaunearc https://www.instagram.com/p/B561qiFpt8v/?igshid=1qw59ef89bi1n
Sneak peek! Stage combat is all about taking it slow and making sure you're doing the moves safe, and THEN adding speed and smoothing it out! Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. #UNNforgetable #ThievesGuildeGNV #Hoggetowne2020 #StageCombat https://www.instagram.com/p/B5lSV5SBGGt/?igshid=14nunpk02qlf6
"Mr. James ran a high-energy workshop which engaged all of the learners in my class, many of whom can be difficult to reach. He struck an impressive balance between delivering his own considerable expertise and running the students in high energy, hands-on tasks. By the end of the session, students were confident and skilled in their portrayal of a detailed and multi step combat sequence. The experience was safe, fun, and useful. "

I can’t wait until things are a little safer so I can go out and reshoot Sophitia @redbugimaginarium made me a GORGEOUS new sword and it’s yet to see the light of day (RIP my foam board blade seen in this 2017 photo). I love seeing the evolution of my costumes, props, and makeup. Next time you see Sophitia, she’ll be even more epic than ever!
