Call "Contact" a dance play or a musical performance piece; invent a new category for shows that put music, movement and language together in unpredictable ways.

In a play, even a musical dance play like this, when the characters are emoting in full flight, the viewer's attention is torn.

The dance play, a hit of the Altogether Different Series last season, is built on a dream recounted to a psychiatrist by a troubled young man.

Advertising has it that "Contact" is a "dance play," but those words hardly capture how the show makes you feel.

A crew of five is filming the couple's every move as they run through a scene from Susan Stroman's dance play "Contact."

Contact was a musical dance play made up of three separate dance pieces set to pre-recorded music.

"Contact," Susan Stroman's acclaimed dance play, received eight nominations.

The single continued Inner City's success on both the American dance play and UK charts.

And because the production somewhat defies definition, the producers were not sure quite what to call it, finally settling on "a dance play."
