I became good friends with John Harmon. I remember assisting with auditions, and productions, and met Karen Finley at LaMama and was invited to be her stage manager at the run of her fall show at RAPP when her usual stage manager Lori E. Said was unavailable. I got to perform as a dancer in Salt n Pepa's Twist and Shot music video, filmed at RAPP. There was so much energy and exploration happening there in those days. Plus I got to see Jeff Cohen's passion for the Orioles, who sadly were terrible that year. And I sometimes walked his dog Ernie to Thompson Square Park to talk with the crazy homeless guys who hung out there.

It was formerly the Holy Redeemer School and the acronym was Redeemer Arts Performance Project. in its day it saw some pretty amazing and seminal performances. Butoh was represented by the incredible Poppo and the Go Go Boys and Eiko and Koma. The Bang On A Can New Music Festival was resident there. Laura Linney made her stage debut there. Theatre For A New Audience was head-quartered there. Visual artists lived and worked in the nuns quarters on the top floor. An incredible amount of multi-discipline art came out of RAPP in its 5 short years. And, as mentioned, wonderful music. My favorite concert was Difford & Tilbrook from Squeeze.Jeff Cohenhttp://www.burkecohenent.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12527609.post-91464311797386093292017-06-23T10:32:20.238-05:002017-06-23T10:32:20.238-05:00I saw the Meat Puppets w/Eleventh Dream Day there ...I saw the Meat Puppets w/Eleventh Dream Day there in '89/'90 (the Pups were touring the Monsters LP).
