CINEMATIC ARTS | STEREOSCOPIC INNOVATION | ANIMATED PERFORMANCE
"Marie’s work reminds all visitors of the power in exploring all manners of reality modification."
–COOL HUNTING
"Dancers inhabit an immersive 3D world brought to life through refreshingly analog means."
–HYPERALLERGIC
Still holding onto her cardboard 3-D glasses, Marie said she began experimenting with the technique long before"Avatar."
"I'm way ahead of James Cameron," she said with a laugh.

AUGMENTED REALITY
(antiquated) Augmented Reality (Director: Christine Marie, Producer: Nion McEvoy) — Visual intimacy, ontological form, in real-time 3D. Pioneering the use of a non-digital, reinvented, pre-cinematic stereo imaging technique, the exquisite ensemble of dancers seems to do the impossible — reach out. The vivid choreography and score leave a lasting impression created by giant 30-foot tall, stunning figures. Cast: Taylor Unwin, Sandra Ruiz, Melissa Ferrari.

"One of the most visually exciting moments of theatre I've seen."
–NY THEATER REVIEW
“Christine Marie’s Shadow Design conjures a literal ocean of surprise.”
–Charles McNulty, LA TIMES
“Halfway through, you're prompted to put on your glasses. And somehow—and I have no idea how—Marie uses a special lighting instrument to make the shadows become three-dimensional.
Honestly, I have never seen a more stunning 3D effect (and, yes, I saw Avatar)."
