Recent Harvard graduates Larissa D. Koch ’08 and Claudia F. Schreier ’09, both of whom are currently pursuing careers as professional choreographers, are returning to stage two pieces for “Momentum.” Schreier’s work will feature live piano accompaniment and inventive costuming. In a similarly unique fashion, Koch—who performed with HBC throughout her undergraduate career and currently directs her own dance company—has collaborated with electroacoustic specialist and Harvard Music Professor Hans Tutschku to create a piece tailored to Tutschku?...
...second piece of the performance, entitled “Anomie,” was the hidden gem of the entire performance. The music was a piano piece written by César Franck and featured some professionally trained dancers and other undergraduates. The piece, choreographed by Claudia F. Schreier ’08, focused on various leg movements and lifts by performers Puanani H. Brown ’12, James C. Fuller ’10, Amanda C. Lynch ’10, Kevin Shee ’11, and Elizabeth C. Walker ’11.

As a trio, they danced beautifully, maintaining impressive unison during the most challenging portions, but they shone the most individually during the solo series. Schreier was charming and graceful, carefully counterbalancing the strength of her feet with softness in her arms. Besides a few missteps, Kenney...
While the Dance Department may not be why most students choose Harvard, for Claudia F. Schreier ’08—recipient of the Office for the Arts’ Suzanne Farrell Dance Prize–dancing has been the most significant part of her undergraduate career. Although she began ballet as a toddler and has been choreographing since high school, Schreier believes that she has substantially developed both talents over the past four years. Schreier admits that upon arriving at Harvard she was a “bun-head,” or a very traditional dancer...
