A tongue in cheek dance duet between two friends
Performing a pretentious contemporary dance with none of the skill, Craig and Katy prance about to ghostly piano recordings in an empty rehearsal studio. Rehearsing a dynamic that has existed since time immemorial, these friends try out each others moves, become props, use each other as they wish and in the end meld in an embrace. Is their touch of one another brotherly/sisterly, or something more sinister? At what point does a friend become a play thing? Why do this couple need each other? Co dependent, indifferent, lonely and full of affection, this is a portrait of a relationship and dance that exists between straight women and a gay men.
