They had a big campaign when it was at battersea in the summer, I think they got about 30 odd girls (dance and drama students mainly) but then got a few more from the audience
. I was really suprised to see a male performer as part of the main show!
Having said that, Nic Green is an ardent feminist, but hetrosexual and therefore not totally anti-men as a possible lesbian artist might be. Hope we can some more video, although it looks even riskier than nude beach photgraphy!!.

One of the big noises at this year's Edinburgh Fringe, Nic Green’s Trilogy, which includes a euphoric naked dance performed by 50 female volunteers, is being revived at the Battersea Arts Centre and Barbican early next year.
The show, described in press material as "a celebratory venture into modern-day feminism", will run for five dates at BAC (13 to 16 January 2010, preview 12 January), before transferring to the Barbican as part of bite10 (22 & 23 January).
The three-hour triptych begins by exploring women’s relationships to their bodies, then reconstructs the infamous 1971 New York Town Bloody Hall debate before concluding with a "joyous paean to womankind". During the Edinburgh run, many audience members joined in with the naked dancers on stage.
Nic Green is currently looking for women to participate in the show and the BAC and Barbican are jointly recruiting volunteers. Anyone interested should go to xxx.bac.org.uk or xxx.barbican.org.uk for more information.
