Robin and I went to see Kiki and Herb at Carnegie Hall. I count it among the top 10 performances I've seen in New York.
1. Yvonne Meier at the Swiss Institute (the first incarnation of "Mad Heidi"): wild dancing, flying walnuts, and nudity.
2. Lou Reed, BERLIN with Antony at St Anne's
3. Qawwali music night with Cornershop and others at BAM circa 1997, followed by Junior's
4. Joanna Newsom at the Bowery Ballroom
5. Pina Bausch at BAM
6. Patti Smith (everywhere: BAM, Warsaw...esp New Year's Eve 2001-02)
7. Performance of TRIO A by Yvonne Rainer at Judson Church
8. John Jasperse/Juliet Mapp duet with mirrors at DTW
9. Jennifer Munson's SENDER at the Kitchen
10. Kiki and Herb at Carnegie Hall
My heart was filled to bursting after these events. It's made me feel lucky.
