Nudity - the actor's POV
Mon, 28 Aug 2000, 07:55 pmPurely as a hypothetical question (at this stage, anyway): how do the actors out there in community theatre feel about nudity?
Would you do it? If so, under what circumstances? If not, please give reasons.
I'm talking serious nudity here; not "underwear nudity", but actual nudity: full frontal, topless, etc.
Would it be unreasonable of a director to ask a large portion (if not all) of their cast to appear fully nude, for instance in plays like "Hair", or "Steaming"?
And would be unreasonable of a director to apply for a season with a local group with a play or production that will require nudity to work effectively? Could he/she find a cast?
I open the topic for discussion....

Thu, 14 Sept 2000, 05:01 pmGo the nudity I say!! Hell, it's just a bit of skin and the only reason that there is a whole lot of hoo ha about it is cause we don't do it enough!!
On the other hand though, I hate the way actors use nudity as a tool to prove their commitment to the arts... It doesn't prove anything except that you don't mind getting your gear off!! I'm not big on nudity for no reason, but if it is warrented within a script and it has some signifigance then go for it.
Just my opinion of course!! :)
