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....

RE: Nudity - article in the West
Fri, 1 Sept 2000, 04:04 amHaven't seen Camino Real produced but have copies of two versions (& I've read them!) from when Joey L was going to direct it for Celtic 3 (?) or so years ago. I found it weird, fascinating & was v disappointed when it didn't happen. So, David, depends in what context you're asking - age (I'm prob older than your Mum & I'm hoping to see it), theatrical experience/preferences, or ?
As I recall, the text doesn't call for either pink or wobbly bits, so you should be safe there - depending on the director's artistic interpretation of course!
Anyway, hope you both enjoy it.
Cheers, BarbZ
