Karl James
Karl's early working life was spent as an actor, composer and director working with (among others) John Retallack, Kenneth Branagh and Declan Donellan. Karl produced and co-directed My Arm and co-directed An Oak Tree.
As director and founder of The Dialogue Project, most of Karl's time is spent listening, talking and thinking with people and organisations such as WWF, Sony BMG, AIG, Unilever, TBWA, Mc Kinsey & Co and Educare Small School. Recent projects include 2+2=5, a series of recorded conversations with women who work in advertising; RaW Stories, a national programme of workshops for the BBC Learning and a collaboration with Creative Partnerships and The Helen Storey Foundation called Ideas That Can Change The World.
Recently Karl has focused on the subject of Pain and brought together a priest, a dominatrix, a self-harmer, a bereavement counsellor and a burns victimman to cross-fertilise their experiences and thoughts at a Round Table in France, the results of which formed a piece called Intimate Conversations for the Latitude Festival (2008).
