James is also the co-artistic director of a Los Angeles based multi-disciplinary dance collective known as Wewolf. Its focus is on creating and working on different projects that bring RubberLegz and James’ methods of dance and visual arts together. James was the recipient of the 2015 Princess Grace Choreography Fellowship Award. He was also the winner for Ballet Austin's 2014 New American talent choreographic competition, a finalist in Milwaukee Ballet's 2013 Genesis Choreographic competition, and in 2011 the winner of the International Choreographic Competition at Festival des Arts de Saint-Sauveur.
As a performer, James has worked with many companies and choreographers such as BJM Danse, Aszure & Artists, RUBBERBAND, Bodytraffic, River North Dance Chicago, Barak Marshall, Aszure Barton, Crystal Pite, Mia Michaels, Gustavo Ramirez, Rodrigo Pedernieras, Frank Chaves, Danny Ezralow, Mauro Bigonzetti, Annabelle Lopez-Ochoa, and Cayetano Soto.
James also has been featured in several music videos, feature films, and in TV documentaries and specials such as Elton John, Lyon, Kresha Turner, Ils Dansent, On the Road, and Soul Survivors. These experiences to work with such a variety of artists and different artistic avenues has given James the tools to create his own language and helped mold his voice and vision.
