There are few performers anywhere
who can match his creativity, range and energy.
--- Los Angeles Times ---
His sinuous movements meld effectively
with his erudite wordplay...
Though he doesn't take himself too seriously,
he's serious enough for us to care.
--- L. A. Weekly ---
James Bolt fuses coffeehouse poetry, free-form dance and
mind-bending physics to create a powerful communication with his audience. He searches endlessly for lost keys, stolen passion and unseen reality. Onstage, he is a stalking leopard, with the audience as his prey. He is liquid mercury, orange creme chocolates and fiber optic lasers. He is a visionary and a petty thief, a healer and an anarchist hacker. He becomes the poem.

James Bolt has appeared on MTV and performed at the Lollapalooza
alternative rock & roll tour. He has won numerous poetry slams and
competed at the National Poetry Slam. In his first full-length project,
Bolt brought several years of performing and writing together for his
acclaimed one-man show "YOU ARE HERE" Subsequently, he took his
words-in-motion to Lisbon, Portugal as the opening performer for Lisbon's Art Expo and slammed with local poets in Tokyo, Japan.

Jim has also shared his poetry, music and teaching skills with students
in the Los Angeles Unified School District and the Los Angeles County Jail as a catalyst for growth, healing and enhanced self-expression.
Deprogram me from the cultural trance...
