...intense e-mail lobbying efforts of those administrative people who determine who gets what space ("student leaders," you know them well). But for whom, may we ask, is one night of Harvard dance enough? Well, let's avoid that question and move on to: the Harvard-Radcliffe Ballet Company presents dancers for dancers' sakes. No more "passion sequences" a la 70s mainstage musicals. This is the real thing: bits from all over, Bach's Toccata in Fugue, Rhapsody in Blue, Firebird, and Mainly Jazz's peculiar Starbucks blend.

More likely, considering her posture, she is proud to have garnished a European head, and is unaware of her deformity. Even more disconcerting, perhaps she acknowledges her deformity, and considers it a small price...
...noticed in the grandeur of the orchestra's performance. The opening rills for wind and harp, although punctuated by two unmerciful squeaks, created a setting of pastoral calm. Dense, lush orchestration frequently dissolved into the quickness and light of lighter sections; this is clearly recognizable as music for the ballet. Clear articulation was a hallmark of the performance of this epic yet fairylike piece, and once again, HRO strained Sanders with the strength and power of the final few chords of the piece...
