SYNOPSIS

“Ladies & Gentlemen, I Am Sorry To Tell You That Ms. _____ Is Unable To Dance Tonight” is a short pas de deux between a woman and the void. Ms._____ dances in the ocean while a spotlight, or searchlight, hovers around her. Unable to find the woman or illuminate her while she is performing, the dance proves to be an unsatisfying performance and rescue mission.
