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....

Yes, I did notice that article.
Hardly surprisingly, I'm going to see both shows... "Equus" on Saturday, if you're interested in having a go in person, Leah.
"Orlando" I haven't booked for yet, but I am quite interested to check this show out, for a number of reasons. One more, now.

P.S.: I'm taking my mum to see "Camino Real" at WAAPA tomorrow night. Is this a bad move? Does anyone know the play?
