AVATARS
Wired.com - June 2002
When the Dance Is the Game
"The screen flashes "earth vs. wood"
and the opponents circle each other, eyes locked. The
onlookers whoop, and the soundtrack kicks into a furious percussive beat as
they begin to battle."
SF Bay Guardian
"...with its razor-sharp combat sequences, which expertly integrate live
action with video projected motion capture, make us want to jump into the
game."
SF Weekly
"Avatars explores the impact of video games on
contemporary culture. Walking the line between fantasy and reality, five dancers
will take the stage as physically tangible warriors...while their virtual
counterparts are projected above and behind them."
TechTV
"I've always been interested in new technology and in fantasy,"
Lomask says. "So much has developed and changed in videogames over the
last few years. It's really such a creative field. Almost anything can be
achieved now. As a choreographer I find that really inspiring."
SHIFT
Magazine - November 2002
"Much like the characters of action fighting games such as Mortal Kombat
or Tekken, the dancers take on martial-arts personas and artfully, beautifully,
heroically, battle it out on stage."
res magazine - February 2003azine
"Jodi Lomask has always been facinated by where people's "fantasy
selves reside" she says.
