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....

David, you asked for other male responses to Leah's allegation that if she got her kit off males would not be able to get past it to the performance. Well, I agree with her. i've never seen Leah in the buff but even now I can't have a conversation with her without thinking of her pink bits. This make rehearsing for "When Harry Met Playlovers" particularly difficult - especially when I know the reverse is also true.
So for anyone who was thinking of missing this very short season - don't. It will be worth coming just to see the incredible sexual electricity built up between two people totally consumed by pink bits. Book your tickets ASAP.
(Sorry David to hijack your erstwhile discussion for a bit of a cheap grab for a larger audience - but hey - bums on seats is important too)
