Harvard Ballet Company (HBC) organized its spring show, performed on April 25 and 26, around its eponymous title: the second half is truly “From the Wings” of the first. The former provided excerpts from “Swan Lake,” while the latter featured classically inspired movement reinterpreted in 10 contemporary pieces. As disparate in style as these two halves were, so too was the quality of execution. Directed by Jennifer S. Love ’09 and Valentine N. Quadrat ’09, and produced by Jordan E. Roberts...
