Call for Proposals – Bed-In at the Bluecoat
Non-violent action for a better world
The Bluecoat are now inviting applications from individuals or groups for
Bed-In at the Bluecoat
In celebration of John Lennon’s commitment to peace, the Bed-In at the Bluecoat will pay homage to one of the actions that John Lennon and Yoko Ono carried out in 1969 immediately after they were married. Their week long bed-ins for peace, staged first in Amsterdam then in Montreal, were expressions of non-violent protest against war.
‘Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds for a week
The newspapers said
Say what’re you doing in bed
I said we’re only trying to get us some peace.’
(The Beatles, The Ballad of John and Yoko)
This year, to mark the birth of John Lennon 70 years ago and his death 30 years ago, Liverpool City Council is holding a John Lennon Tribute Season in Autumn 2010. Bed-In at the Bluecoat will be part of this season and is endorsed by Yoko Ono, who has a long-standing relationship with the Bluecoat, where she performed in 1967 and again in 2008, and the city:
‘I think it’s wonderful that they will be doing Bed-In ….. There should be many lively discussion (sic) with the visitors of the bed and the couple in the bed, just like there were at the time John and I did it. There is much to discuss in terms of War and Peace now.’
The Bed-In can’t happen without you! Would you like to be a part of this special event?
