“I am interested in affecting the relevance of dance in society,” Lomask says. “How can I make useful art and beautiful tools for environmental preservation?” Using her skills to shine a light on important issues, Lomask is a rare combination of an advocate for nature, a highly-regarded artist and performer, and a visionary who understands there are ways to communicate topics without words. “I believe in the creative process-specifically the pleasure of mind expansion and the cathartic creative experience. I like to offer creative teams the intellectual rigors of scientific comprehension along with deep environmental experiences and novel physical activity.” Lomask has been commissioned to create original works for NASA, TED, the California Academy of Sciences and even the Salvadoran Olympic Gymnastic Team. She appeared in National Geographic’s “Wild Chronicles” with tree canopy scientist and frequent collaborator, Dr. Nalini Nadkarni.
A graduate of the dance conservatory at SUNY Purchase, she has trained at the Royal Ballet Academy, the Merce Cunningham Studio, the London Contemporary Dance School, among others. She has performed with some of the leading dance companies in the world, including the heralded Project Bandaloop. Lomask was a speaker at the Ecological Society of America conference in 2007 and the American Physical Society in 2010. Her work has been covered by Nature Magazine, Wired.com, NBC 11’s Tech NOW, CNET Radio, The New York Times, San Francisco Magazine and Dance Magazine.
