...Saturday’s Northeastern Husky Winter Carnival. While no team score was kept, both the men’s and women’s squads registered strong opening meets, with a combined 15 top-10 performances on the day. The women’s squad had the strongest debut, with three winners and 12 top-10 finishes. Junior Becky Christensen won the high jump by clearing 1.72 meters. “Basically, the goal is basically just shake off the dust and get back into competing,” Christensen said. “I jumped kind...

The production is called, naturally, "Caucus! The Musical...

It’s the opening image of Olivier Besson’s “A Time Upon Once,” the first of three newly choreographed pieces to debut at the Boston Conservatory Dance Theater Friday night. As part of the performance, aptly titled “3 X 3”, the dance students of the Boston Conservatory and artistic director Yasuko Tokunaga also presented Tommy Neblett’s “Fractured” and Gianni...
