Spontaneous Fantasia at the Art Theatre Long Beach

Spontaneous Fantasia is a spectacular live virtual reality performance created by pioneering high-tech artist J-Walt. He performs his animations and music in a state-of-the-art immersive digital planetarium theater. Using technology he created, this Academy Award winning computer wizard draws 3D sculptures and landscapes, taking his audience on a one-of-a-kind audio-visual odyssey of fantastic worlds and extended possibilities. Suitable for ages 5 and up.

Spontaneous Fantasia must be seen to be believed. J-Walt has created his own animation system which allows him to draw with his computer tablet and create dancing figures, abstract sculptures, fantastic architecture, and virtual worlds. Examples may be viewed at http://www.spontaneousfantasia.com.

The highlight of the show is the ambitious The Omnicentric Universe, in which J-Walt creates an entire universe in real time live before the audience. The universe becomes alive as J-Walt creates planets, landscapes and surreal creatures all to the sounds of a musical score that he created. His electronic music ranges from ambient to danceable beats and includes his own electronic renditions of classical music as well.

general admission: $15, students and seniors: $12
