Tunick in Bogota
 

Spencer Tunick will be in Bogota, Colombia on June 5th. Supposedly 10,000 Colombians will be stripping. Hopefully we get some good picks.

Good news for those in Toronto - 'Mrs Henderson Presents' is scheduled to transfer to the Ed Mirvish theater for a run in "February/April" 2017. Not clear whether it will be some or all of the London cast, but I would have thought that the ridiculously talented Emma Williams would be essential. It's a great show with good songs and jokes, as well as many Helens-worth of naked actresses (for those not familiar, the Helen is a unit of female beauty - in normal usage, the microHelen is more often employed, being the amount of beauty required to launch a single ship).
Based on UK experiences reported here, book to see any previews, before the staging and lighting has settled down, and go for seats at the front but slightly left of center. From my experience, book to go more than once, as you'll be trying to look in five place at once at the first viewing.

That might be a slightly cheaper air fare for jidderman..!

So I've finally got round to getting tickets for Mrs Henderson Presents later this week - better late than never. Thought I'd finally join and get some top tips. I'm secretly hoping that Rhiannon Chesterman is on in the lead.

I know loads of people have already posted reviews on here but does anyone have any other pearls of wisdom about what to look out for? Let's hope Katie Bernstein is feeling good when I see it!!

Is Rhiannon one of the additional girls in the last tableau? Where abouts is she stood and where should I look/ expect to see?

Any help gratefully appreciated!!

I've spent the last 3 or 4 years collecting clips of as much broadway and off-broadway nudity as I could (plus a few things in LA). Here's screencaps of everything, let me know if you want to know someone's name or just want more of someone

Excellent! Thanks!

Great! Can you please post the clips with details?

You need multiple visits to catch everything

Best seats are row C to the left. In Second tableaux look up at bare pussy of Emma or Rhiannon at the same time checking for nudity of Katie which is to your left.

Fan dance look under fans for pussy/butt flashes from Emma

There are lots of descriptions already in this thread, but a few additional suggestions - there's a display screen in the foyer, over the ticket office, which lists who is going to be in that performance, useful to see if there's going to be an understudy. I saw Kat Kleve covering for 'Doris'. In her normal role as 'Suzanne', the French girl who they meet in the National Gallery and who joins the team, she tries to keep as covered as possible and she looked somewhat uncomfortable in the spotlight.

In her normal role, Rhiannon C is at the back on the right hand side during the fan dance.

Also, during the 'rehearsal' scene, keep an eye on whoever is playing 'Suzanne'.

Finally, as you really need to see the show more than once, note that, for the last few days of the run (the show closes on the 18th June), all tickets are discounted - go to the theater's website to see what's on offer. That F17 seat could be yours!

Thanks I'll report back! Katie is amazing.

Just about all the clips are from DVD bootlegs of plays I have, it would take some effort to transfer them all to my computer, but if there's a specific clip you're looking for just let me know and I've upload it.

Excellent though MHP was it’s time to head for something new. So here are some suggestions. There is a strong possibility of some nudity at Theatre N16, at the Bedford Pub, in London’s Balham. They are reviving Howard Barker’s ‘Gertrude – The Cry’. First show is Sunday the June 12 and it’s on for a couple of weeks. Beware they don’t play Fridays and Saturdays. Here are some reviews of the 2002 London show:

hxxps://www.theguardian.com/stage/2002/oct/25/theatre.artsfeatures

hxxp://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/theatre-dance/reviews/gertrude-the-cry-riverside-studios-london-141614.html

And here’s an interview with the director of the revival:

hxxp://grumpygaycritic.co.uk/2016/05/interview-chris-hislop-gertrude/.

The Bedford is better known to me as a music venue so I can’t give much information about the theatre space other than the N16 website here:

hxxp://www.theatren16.co.uk/

I have attached a picture from what I believe was a French production.

On the Performance Art front I would draw your attention to the ‘Tempting Failure’ festival in London in late July. The website is as follows:

hxxp://www.temptingfailure.com/

Unfortunately it’s a bastard to navigate round but day July 23 looks likely for those who like their nudity as art

hxxp://www.temptingfailure.com/events/2016/7/23/tf2016-day-3-evening

I suspect this won’t be a typical night out in Croydon. If you follow the links of the artists appearing that evening there are all sorts of nudity to be found. Unfortunately I bit off the map for me but if you are in South London got to be worth a try.

Finally, there’s possibly some topless comedy available on the August 01 as part of the Camden Fringe. Samantha Pressdee is doing a preview of a show called ‘Sextremist’. The blurb says “Like a Ted Talk, only topless’. Here’s the link:

hxxp://www.camdenfringe.com/detailact.php?acts_id=580

Incidentally Samantha’s twitter has some images from Free the Nipple in Brighton. I think we have them in the relevant thread already.

Well you'll certainly see her, especially in the first tableau. I'm not sure Rhiannon gets naked at all unless she's covering for Emma Williams.

Big kudos if you can get any pictures!! No one else seems to have done.

By the way take something to read for the second half, until the fan dance comes on right at the end.

the above image (also below, with other samples) is part of a set of 214 items

attached is a zip of all images

warning, graphic guy nudity, too. i downloaded the entire gallery, when it was online. haven't bothered to filter anything

and here's more barker nudity. minute 2:08. it currently has only 27 views
vimeo.com/149665490

I'm also hoping Rhiannon gets to go on as Maureen for one of the final shows - it sometimes happens that they let the understudy get in a performance but that might not be the case here as she has gone on seven or eight times already. I was lucky enough to see one of them and she is spectacular.

You can see her big boobs during the final fan dance, she stands on the right side. Alas, a fan covers her pussy.

As for Katie, I think she may be finding her inner exhibitionist - she stands right out there now, brazenly on display. Her boobs are amazing. And during the chaos of the first act finale when Emma is nude front and centre, Katie stands straight up nude herself to watch her - she didn't used to do that. She used to stay crouched like the others.

Finally her full nude pic!
 

That's Mallika fully nude :)

Where's that from?

Press photo from Theatr Spektakel in Switzerland where she premiered it.

I know it's closing and so not much time for those who haven't seen it to see, but just wanted to post my bit...

Amazing! As people who've posted already have said the view of Emma Williams FF at the end of the first act is worth the price of the tickets. Added to that two scenes where you get a good view of Katie Bernstein, Lizzie Connolly and Lauren Hood topless and its very clear that Lizzie and Katie are shaved.

At the end of act one Katie now kneels full facing the audience and you see everything. If you sit to the left of the stage you also get an amazing view of her butt and the butt of Kat Kleve whilst they're kneeling from the bombs.

Other nudity I saw: when the girls are disrobing for the first time, they run around in their robes - nothing underneath. They are disturbed at one point and Emma's robe came undone revealing everything. Also after the first tableau backstage - Katie ran around letting her dressing gown go all over the place giving another view of her topless and her bum. Also got more than one glimpse of Lauren's butt as she ran around.

The fan dance didn't cover much of Emma at all if you sit near the front - lots of glimpses of her bum, and Rhiannon and one other girl stand totally topless - Rhiannon is amazing!!

If you're in London this week go and see it. And major kudos to anyone who can sneak a photo or a video!!! I want to go back already...

I mean like what's the source of the picture

Calendar Girls...Sorta
 

There is an upcoming production of Calendar Girls in my area, unfortunately for their advisement page under sex/nudity it states "There is partial/hidden nudity; characters disrobe onstage but never fully." So it looks to be pointless. Anyone ever go to one of these productions, is it worth the time and money?

There were several press photos on that website.

I haven't seen a production but have posted a lot of stage shots and promo pictures on this thread
https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/showthread.php?t=57353
You will need to go back to 2013/2014 to find most of them - mainly UK productions.

I've posted a few from US productions over the past few months but there has been very little worth posting. US amateur thespians seem to be very shy compared to their UK counterparts.

The degree of nudity varies from production to production. In some productions the actresses undressed completely while hiding behind various props while in other productions they 'cheated' by wearing bodysuits or even bikinis.
You won't see any full on nudity since the whole point of the photo scene is the hidden nudity aspect.
Some companies also produce a calendar to complement their production which are sold at the performances.

any more photos of her?
specially nude?

Yes, I've at least three more (incl. FF, bush, etc in pretty high quality) but I can't publish them to the public domain :D
My mate's got contacts in the British press...if I post them, I'll be in big big trouble! :cool:

Hi
 

Found this here..nzz.ch/zuerich/zuercher_kultur/ausbrechen-aus-sprach--und-kleiderschichten-1.18596344

any news on this? anyone go?

Gertrude – The Cry at Theatre N16 London
 

I see a lot of live theatre (all types) & went to see Gertrude – The Cry at Theatre N16 London on the basis of a good theatre review & because I had enjoyed the previous 2 Barker plays I'd seen (neither containing nudity in these versions).

Having watch this version of Gertrude I would recommend for at least 3 reasons:

1 It is genuinely a very good play extremely well acted by the whole cast. For that reason alone it deserves a wider audience.
2. Isabella Urbanowicz as Gertrude
3. LJ Reeves as Ragusa

The performance takes place on a narrow stage in the centre of the room with at most 20 seats on either side. So wherever you sit you will be very close to the stage / action.

The 1st scene is the murder of Gertrude's husband where her lover insists she is naked for the act (only topless seen) & thence the 2 of them make love on top of her deceased husbands body.

Thereafter there is a blow job scene (partially hidden but his asset clearly in hand & visible), some very sexy scenes with Gertrude dressing 'as a wh*r*', showing off her lovely legs & flashing her panties at appropriate moments.

Later, after Gertrude has given birth to her lover's child, she breast feeds first her lover and then the baby. Later she flashes her breast at her Mother-in-Law and strips to her knickers whilst changing into a wedding dress.

Meanwhile LJ Reeves as Ragusa just has the one topless scene where she tempts Gertrude's lover into her bed.

Both Isabella Urbanowicz and LJ Reeves are extremely attractive - as well as very good & convincing actors. Indeed their (and rest of the cast) acting skills alone deserve to be seen by a bigger audience.

Throughout the lighting is good & the sex, nudity violence & bad language in the script accurately feeds through into the performance.

plays with nudity in London
 

Now that both "Mrs Henderson Presents" and "Gertrude – The Cry" came to an end, are there any Good plays in London these days with nudity ? I'll be in London for 2 weeks mid July

'west end bares', M+F

Production of Debussy's Pelleas et Melisande at Aix en Provence being trailed with this photo. Being streamed live on the Opera Platform on 7th July but only available in UK and Europe.

That's a Gregory Crewdson picture isn't it? Certainly looks like it.

wow who's she?

I'm going to be in Manchester for the last week of July and most of the first week of August, anyone know of anything happening there?

Not Certain. Barbara Hannigan is the star of the opera and it looks a bit like her but possibly it is one of two other female cast members who are non-singing parts. Would need to see the production.

Breakfast at Tiffanys
 

I saw the Anna Friel West End production years ago and she appeared naked back then. I was just wondering if anyone has seen the new Pixie Lott version and if there's anything similar?

I think her tour will starts sometime in next September

Porno Chic
 

Not sure if anyone saw this in Manchester at the fringe festival... It's a production by Vertigo theatre about the making of Deep Throat. Promised to have some nudity. Can't find many descriptions out there.

But by look of it it might be returning to Manchester in the near future and then touring the uk....

Mrs Henderson Presents postscript
 

I do have a few images but they are very poor quality and I don't think it's worth posting them. Sample below, what do you think?
