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

Hello Sky,

I flashed my breasts in a play once and it was really no big deal, in fact it was abit of a buzz (I was 19 at the time too and it was in my local area).

As for people comming up to me about it afterwards, only one gave me the once over and said "hey I know you..." (it was at work and my boss was standing next to me so I was rather glad he didn't go on). But the most common thing people said was that they admired my guts!

I don't regret it one bit but as everyone else has said YOU need to feel Ok about it.
