...quarter of the upperclass population, getting there is the next concern. Those of us who need to go home the Quad end up waiting at Johnston Gate at obscene hours of the night, or morning. The other option, similarly disheartening, is checking our e-mail and the shuttleboy program in the Science Center. I think that's probably the worst. I'll be standing at an email terminal, probably not feeling 100 percent alert, and to top it off, it's 2:30 a.m. on a Saturday and I'm in the Science Center. The indignity is just over whelming...
...both past co-directors of the Harvard Radcliffe Ballet company, obviously knew that the Mainstage is an ideal venue for showcasing Harvard dancers. They had an arduous task in front of them when they set out to convince HRDC that dance belonged on the much-prized Mainstage spring program. Luckily for them and us, after multiple persuasive attempts Minyard and Adler finally convinced HRDC to end dance's long hiatus from the Mainstage, and Perpetual Motion was brought, literally, to glorious light...

"Pas de Quartre" was a hard act to follow, and the dancers of "West Side Story" seemed a little awkward and over-dramatic in their attempts to match the beautiful first number. The Harvard Pops Orchestra, accompanying the dancers throughout the first act of the program under the musical direction of Allen Feinstein, seemed under-rehearsed and ill-prepared for Bernstein's score, leaving the dancers to cover the distracting and annoying amounts of musical blunders in the orchestra. Unfortunately, the overdramatic choreography didn't do much to make-up for the ear-wrenching music. Jason...
...indisputable highlight of the show came in the second half of the program, as Harvard dancers took to the stage for the entirety of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Using the choreography of Babil Gardera, the principal choreographer of the South Texas Dance Theater, Harvard dancers turned the Loeb Mainstage into a swirling, swarming arena of motion and light. Clad in bodysuits of various neon and tie-dyed colors, the dancers marched in perfect unison onto the stage in the opening number, "Speak to Me," like drones from a futuristic world where money clangs and clammers...
