I was wondering how every1 felt about nudity in amateur theatre??

* performing nude (total or partially)

* seeing it in a production

either of the two. I am trying to make the decision at the moment if I would be prepared to go totally nude for a part and I was wanting a few view points to take into consideration.

I would do it for arts sake. But am I prepared to walk down the street and have people know what I look like naked?

Points to consider :
I am 19 - female - not stick thin - live in an area where everyone knows everyone.

I would truly appreciate some feedback.

Thanks

Sky

I recently Auditioned for Shirley Valentine and was told by the Director "Full Frontal Nudity" if you dont agree you wont get the part no agreeing now and changing your mind later!!) I withdrew from the audition, I might add it is not in the script and when I found out who had got the part ( his wife ) I thought what a joke!! (She was using her maiden name at the auditions too) Neputism YOU BET!!!!

You also need to ask yourself "How good is the role ?" and "Why is nudity required ?"
