...Curved Wind," divided into three parts--"Aires," "Epic in Twilight," and "Celestial"--takes us from astrological and classic proportions to the contemporary level of blue jeans and sewon emblems. Rika brings to these works the past experience of "Air" '69 and "Winter" '70 that she performed with Lindsay Crouse, her summer studies over the past three years at Connecticut College, Colorado College, in New York, and currently with Claire Mallardi at Radcliffe...
Comedy aside, the group's technical skill came into clearer view. "Epic in Twilight" was their strongest performance, and the most creative and absorbing of their works. The opening pas de deux. "Aires," danced by Rika and Harry Streep III, set an intimate tone--not only between the couple on stage, but also between the audience and the dancers.

Many of the rest exist in a twilight world that they can understand dimly, if at all, casualties of indifference and lost opportunities...
...University facilities..." But the administration was not to be soothed, for Epps's reply contains, buried in the fourth paragraph of an otherwise sensible discussion concerning the distinction between a local convention of a national group and a national convention of a local group, a brief excursion into the twilight zone of panic and uncertainty: "I shall be grateful if you will let me know what is actually happening." This letter is also noteworthy for its seeming evasion (by insisting that rooms were not available) of a stand on the noble and enduring principle so bravely stated--in these days...
