Piece by Piece choreographer Despina Mavrou has started a new and exciting choreographic project, for which she needs lots of input. Here's what she's doing and what she needs from you:
I am at the early stages of research for my new choreographic
project. The starting point for this is the Forever 27 club, the group
of musicians that died aged 27. The club includes Jimi Hendrix, Janis
Joplin, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain (and more recently Amy Winehouse).
More specifically, I am looking at the fans’ points of view.
As a Doors/Nirvana fan I’m focusing more on Jim and Kurt, but all stories and contributions are absolutely needed! So here is what I would like from you, friends and fellow fans:
As a Doors/Nirvana fan I’m focusing more on Jim and Kurt, but all stories and contributions are absolutely needed! So here is what I would like from you, friends and fellow fans:
- Do you remember where you were, what you were doing, how you felt, when you heard Kurt Cobain died? (or any of the others)
- Have you ever visited Jim Morrison’s grave in Paris? What happened? What was it like? (the more detail the better)
- Do you have any personal stories, experiences or anecdotes relating to any songs by any members of the Forever 27 club? Anything, no matter how big or small will do - you can always keep it anonymous if you want!
- Which song is your favourite? Why? Which songs/lyrics do you find are the most significant to you? What exactly do they signify?
- Do you think being a fan has had an effect on your attitude to, or outlook on, life and death? How?
- What is your attitude/feeling towards other fans? Were you ever influenced by other fans or did you influence them in any sort of way into feeling, thinking or doing something in a different way?
- Do you have any other thoughts about the club as a whole, or about any of the individual members?
Use the comments to answer one, some or all of the questions, or to ignore them and just say what you want! You can post anonymously if you want. All comments welcome!
