Naked Auditions
Wed, 2 Sept 2009, 05:13 pmIs is ever acceptable to be asked to audition nude?
Had a weird experience last weekend at an audition and not sure if I over-reacted. There is a bedroom scene in the play apparently - was unaware at the time.
Has anyone else had to before for amateur theatre?
Uh... yes... but...
Sun, 6 Sept 2009, 12:25 amI did say, "This is not to detract...", etc.
Yes, it was wrong. I personally would be horrified to have something like this sprung on me in an audition, just as Millie had every right to feel. And it does sound, to all extents, highly suspicious.
However...
I think the point should be made that there are a LOT of assumptions flying around at the moment, and assumptions, in my experience, are dangerous things to make. Speculation based on assumption is not something a case like this should be treated with. Let's stick to facts, everybody, yeah?
I do agree, though, that Tulipa has a point about discussing the incident with authorities.
Oh, and yeah I get what you mean :) Though I contend that:
If 'guys' was being used as a form of address (hey there, guys!), or as a title/noun (hanging with the guys), then yes, it can be applied asexually. However, 'guys' in this instance was used as a descriptor/adjective(those guys over there), hence, not asexual.
