Harvard Ballet Company (HBC) organized its spring show, performed on April 25 and 26, around its eponymous title: the second half is truly “From the Wings” of the first. The former provided excerpts from “Swan Lake,” while the latter featured classically inspired movement reinterpreted in 10 contemporary pieces. As disparate in style as these two halves were, so too was the quality of execution. Directed by Jennifer S. Love ’09 and Valentine N. Quadrat ’09, and produced by Jordan E. Roberts...
...Bejar is one prolific guy. Since the last Destroyer album, he has toured with the New Pornographers, collaborated with members of Wolf Parade and Frog Eyes to record the stunning debut of Swan Lake, started a band with his girlfriend, released their album, and managed to maintain the same lineup for more than one Destroyer release.

...Tampa court decided that Odyssey has 14 days to turn over all data regarding the Black Swan's identity and location and must permit Spain to inspect the artifacts it has recovered. That ruling levels the playing field before a civil trial in Tampa again next October, which will decide who owns the Black Swan site, and what percentage of the recovered treasure belongs to the salvagers. Although Odyssey's earlier court petition sought to restrict what information it released and to whom, the company says it got what it wanted from Thursday's ruling. "We are pleased that...
