Barrie North - (SCDSB)

"Chris James is an incredible instructor, providing safe, informative training in stage combat while being fun and creative. Stage combat is a unit that requires safety, precision, and attention and having an outside voice come into the building to lead it, makes all the difference. I have worked at a few different schools in the SCDSB, and at every one I choose to bring in Chris James as I am guaranteed for it to be professional and fun for all." ~ Julie Robertson

Oakwood CI (TDSB)

"Chris James ran an educational and informative program on Stage Combat with our Grade 9 and Grade 10 Dramatic Arts students. Our students had a wonderful time learning from him! His teaching method accommodated all students in our classroom and they really enjoyed being able to learn about stage fighting as a movement practice. The physical acting students learnt throughout the two-day workshops can now be translated to all other acting we do throughout the semester. Thank you Chris!" ~ Samuel Pisani

Holy Cross CSS (NCDSB)

"Chris did an excellent job working with my students for a two-day workshop. Not only was he easy to work with, but he also continuously stressed the importance of safety when teaching the fight choreography while engaging the students. He was very professional, and the students responded very well to his teaching style. There was so much positive feedback, especially after we posted our fight scenes on our school's Instagram page. It gave the students confidence while learning how stage combat is done on stage and in film. This opportunity gave the students the experiential learning they needed for their Specialist High Skills major program, so I highly recommend Chris' workshop. I can't wait to have him back next year! "

Rosedale Heights School of the Arts (TDSB)

Thanks so much for coming to our school, and we look forward to seeing you again next week for your final sessions with our grade 9s. I and my fellow grade 9 teachers thought the workshops were ideal for this age group - energetic, exciting, and safe! We were impressed by how quickly the basic skills were mastered. By providing prescribed choreography but then giving students the opportunity to build on that with ideas of their own, you ensured they felt ownership of the process while collaborating effectively and safely.

"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. " ~ Dave McKay

"From the first moment to the last, over a period of two days, all of the students were engaged, focused, and having fun in a way I haven’t seen since before COVID. It is workshops like these, run by magnetic people like Chris, that remind me why I chose this career, and why the arts show us the way forward. We can’t wait to have Chris back as a regular guest."
