Until this past weekend, campus dance performances seemed forever confined to lecture halls and small performance spaces hardly capable of illuminating the subtle beauty and powerful art of dance in live performance. Directors Daphne Adler '99 and Kiesha Minyard '99, both past co-directors of the Harvard Radcliffe Ballet company, obviously knew that the Mainstage is an ideal venue for showcasing Harvard dancers.

While it is possible that there are traces of pigment on the shroud, says historian Wilson, they are most likely flakes from copies of the image that were pressed onto the shroud in an attempt to rub off some of its sanctity. Adler believes the image must have been triggered by some sort of radiation process. But he stays away from speculation as to whether such radiation could have been divine in origin...
