...Helen Pickett’s “Etesian” introduces the evening of dance. Though perhaps the most innovative of the four, with its random interludes of silence and truly modern movements, it is also the most technically lacking performance, often danced without basic unison. The muted mood often tries to substitute dramatic lighting and set design for technical dance. Despite a false start and some occasionally shaky ensemble work at their March 17 performance, the company looked the most stylistically comfortable and vehemently committed in Jorma Elo’s “Plan...
...Irish and alcoholics alike, so why not celebrate with “The Boondock Saints,” a Boston-based cult film about how being Irish and kicking ass go hand in hand. TAKE A SHOT… 1.

...drums hit with metal rods. The engine room sets the tempo, the panmen follow, thumping and reverberating, and the North Stand, a rather rickety structure of standing-room-only bleachers erected especially for the competition, explodes with energy-the wooden planks bow precariously as they're rhythmically pounded in unison by the feet of thousands of people, jumping and singing in the sweltering heat...
