He definitely wasn't a practicing Christian but was in fact very interested in Buddhism. He even visited Japan because of it.

I don't know, I wasn't him and I haven't read all of his journals. But judging from what I've seen, he was not a deity-hater

What stomach disease did Kurt Cobain have?

Kurt had a painful, mysterious stomach ailment while still alive. I don't think anyone ever quite pinned it down. He said in many of his interviews/writings that it was one of the reasons he decided to try heroin. Whether the stomach pain was really a reason, I don't know. I also seem to recall reading (somewhere) that he had scoliosis. Also, (something I read in "Cobain"...the Rolling Stone book) when he was young, about 5 I think, he was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. I don't know whether you consider addiction an ailment, but it wasn't exactly healthy. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Did Kurt cobain go to college?

Kurt Cobain didn't like school at all. In fact, I think he hated it alot. He managed to pass through high school but that's it. He was very very creative and especially artistic. He was offered an art scholarship but refused. The reason he hated it so much was because he was sick and fed up with all the "macho" people. He hated them the most because he would always be bullied up and teased because he wasn't like them and also because everyone knew that Kurt had a gay friend, and that gave other people at school the accusation that maybe he was gay. And people at his school weren't too kind about gay people. But because of things like that..It made Kurt passionate about gay rights.

How do you bring expression while performing on stage?

The use of expression is most important when performing on stage. The key idea to remember is to exaggerate facial expressions, as when audiences watch, they are watching from a distance, so they need to be sure what it is you are trying to express. The trick here though, is not to look silly when trying to exaggerate. Watch actors closely, they have to develop this as a performer. Just get some old movies, like Elvis Musicals or even 'Gone with the Wind'. These movies show over acting, but also the subtleness required when expressing on stage. Apply your new knowledge and I am sure you will do a great job.
