Synopsis Contact is a
'dance-play' in three parts about people trying to connect. Why call
it a dance play? We can only suppose that since the music is
pre-recorded the producers cannot call it a musical, maybe because
of union rules or something similar. Swinging, inspired by a
Jean-Honore Fragonard painting, is set in the 18th Century. An
aristocrat and his servant woo a young lady as she swings above a
forest glade to the Richard Rodgers - Lorenz Hart tune "My
Heart Stood Still." Did You Move takes us to an Italian
restaurant in 1954 Queens. A young women, trying to escape her
marriage through fantasy, dances en point with the
restaurants staff and customers accompanied by the music of Bizet,
Grieg and Tchaikovsky. The final scene, Contact, is set in
modern day New York City, a hot dance club in the meat-packing
district, to be exact. A young advertising executive tries to woo a
women in a yellow dress to music that ranges from Benny Goodman to
the Squirrel Nut Zippers
