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....

Sat, 2 Sept 2000, 06:29 pmDean, you make it all sound so cheap and tawdry. I only took the money because I didn't want you to get the wrong idea. But I will never forget noticing through the mouth-hole of that koala bear suit your eyes intently watching my soft, furry form gamboling playfully in the nappies aisle. Had I known your penchant for 'watching' , I might have put some pants on that bear suit.
I look forward to 'watching' you at a "dress" rehearsal for the Pinter Plays at Playlovers.
PS- Next time you're in Melbourne, be sure to give us a call and don't forget to bring the bear suit. You won't need the pretence of any 'Teddie Bears' picnic this time and for a beer, I'll do it for free...
