And still looks weeks younger than he is…

James will be offering two masterclasses in the Art of Acting: one for teens aged 13–20 and one for adults aged 21 and over. These classes will be available on August 4 and August 6, respectively. The sessions will give performers the opportunity to receive personalized feedback and to observe feedback given to others, creating an engaging, immersive learning experience for burgeoning actors and actresses.

Acting is behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances.

Some notes:

  • Pieces should be age appropriate.

  • Pieces can be serious, comedic, or anything in between.
