Thread: Would you go fully naked on stage if laws allowed it?

I was thinking about this a while ago.

I know in some cases 'back in the day' the use of pasties and thongs were so as to be as naked as the law allowed. Obviously, this isn't the case with everyone but...

If the law allowed full nudity in any venue, would you go naked?

Nudity on stage doesn't bother so if after looking at the situation I may be tempted if it was for somthing like a sparkly fan dance

It's not allowed? Bugger I better change some of my acts.

I would not...only because I think pasties and semi-covered is part of the allure. I really think there is something sensual about leaving some to the imagination.

It's part of what I love about burlesque. But again, that's just my 2 cents

I agree with DaisieWilde. I think it's better to keep something covered...!

I agree with this, something have to be left to the imagination.
After all, it's all about the tease

I do ! I was so enraged with camden council last year and the possibility of cabaret and burlesque venues being treated the same as strip clubs, and the removal of clothing needing a licence. ( This could have been in a play or if a life drawing class was happening, or any nudity )
that i made an act called offstage in which i take everything off.

The allure of burlesque for me is purly in the art.
And it's also a comedy piece.

I was also annoyed with the skinny mini anne summers types shaking a tenner tassel or women with a disposeable income spending vast amounts of money on bling.

Its my way of saying, Burlesque isn't just ebay crystals and feathers.
It's a living breathing art form, It's not glamerous.
real performers go to bed at stupid oclock in the morning.
catch the cheapest available transport and travel threwout the day and night for hours. meet eachother in service stations in the wee hours.
peel there lashes off,do a hell of a lot of sofa surfing and as a general rule the only sexual sound to be utter from my lips is that blissful sigh when i get a good cup of tea.

Were here for a good time not a long time.
we all have the same bits and pieces.
If people want to sexualize a balloon and have that as there thing thats fine.

But these are my breasts ! I don't see them as sexual objects i see them as flubadump cushions that prop up my t-shirt and will some day be used to nurture babies.

No different from a cows udders.

And this is my,quim,lady garden, wizards sleeve, foofy, tupance, pussy.
I have one, every women has one. Its not a big deal.

To quote bettie. -
"Adam and Eve were naked in the garden of eden, when they sinned they put on clothes."

I like the tune of your tongue Heather!

lmao, why thank yee kindly khandie, never heard that expression before but it's tickled me pink.x

I know it's not 'strictly' burlesque but one of my favourite live acts last year was Ursula Martinez' Naked Magician. The way she absolutely owns her nudity onstage is incredible, and has such a great impact.

Heather - I salute you
