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

Hi Sky

When Belinda Gibblin played that part - we would share a smoke during interval (mainly because she had nowhere to carry them as she was still in costume) out side the stage door - an idiot, who I won't name, because he is an idiot and does not need me to promote that fact ( he was sopposed to be the management director of the theatre?) asked why she always insisted upon the propman waiting with a large bath towel when ever she came off stage, she looked him up and down, glared at him and said "you prick - on stage I am the character - off stage I'm BELINDA".

By the way the whole crew of 5, except for the SM, were male!

I think this might help you with the play.
