...seemed to transcend the boundary between life and death, perhaps returning to Earth after a period in Elysium. Jodi Leigh Allen, who will teach jazz classes next semester at the Harvard Dance Center, choreographed and costumed “B-Side,” another standout premiere. Dancers clad in black moved against a fiery red background to the artificial sounds of a synthesizer to produce a striking effect. The rigid movements of the men contrasted powerfully and sensually with the women’s grace. The ballet “Emeralds,” staged by Heather Watts, featured...

Those who remember Duran Duran usually remember the hair, frosted to 1980s-excess perfection. Or maybe the videos, replete with scantily-clad, poorly-fed European models. Of course, there were also the hits: “Hungry Like the Wolf,” “Girls on Film,” and “Rio.” For the last decade, however, most conversational references made to Duran Duran have been ironic and anachronistic. The band’s been branded as a Live-Aid relic, the forgotten child of the first MTV audience. Those mantles...
