My sister in law is a performer and has had some very rustic festivals where the performers share dorm-like sleeping arrangements and has had to change in and out of clothes in front of men and women without privacy. There isn't time to wait until others have left, and the groups of people has been anywhere from 5 to 20 at once! I guess she could have changed under covers, but that would be strange and too difficult.
The people are generally pretty liberated, free-thinking, hippy types, but my sister in law is a conservative-prude type.
She stayed at one place where there was a shower room with two shower heads and no doors. People showered in pairs all week in full view of others in the main room without any care in the world, but she refused to. Near the end of the week, she felt so gross that she showered when others were gone, but just after she started, a few people came into the building and another man ended up taking a shower under the other shower head behind her.
She hated all of it, but she really didn't have much choice, and the gig paid a boatload of money every year.
She told my wife all of these things, which then my wife told me, of course. The festival has since gone defunct, so she hasn't performed there in many years now, sadly.
