...scarf envelopes a struggling dancer in one sequence. In another, a girl in oversized sunglasses carefully and thoroughly peels an orange. Brightly dressed dancers swoop and swirl through the versatile space of the Rieman Center for Performing Arts. Me in a Box, the Harvard Radcliffe Dance Company’s (HRDC) Winter Concert, is hardly as constraining as its title implies...
