HAVE you ever walked through an art gallery and thought “this experience would be better if I could take my pants off�
If so, the Sydney Festival is answering your prayers.
For one night only, members of the public can take part in a special nudists-only performance of Sydney Dance Company’s Nude Live at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. The show is part of the gallery’s major summer exhibition, Nude: art from the Tate collection.
“With highly physical and emotionally charged choreography by Rafael Bonachela, dancers respond to paintings, sculptures, photographs and works on paper by renowned artists such as Pablo Picasso, Lucian Freud, Henri Matisse and Louise Bourgeois,†says the press release.
This is some seriously highbrow nudity, people.
Watching some of the most physically perfect specimens in the country dance naked while you stand by in your birthday suit and scrummage around in a bag of Minties sounds like a bit of a nightmare to us — but it seems that there are plenty of people interested in the experience with tickets “selling well†according to the Sydney Festival publicity manager.
The nude audience event will be held on Monday, January 23 at 7:30pm, (which gives you a reasonable amount of time to take up a gym membership and book a spray tan).
Bookings are currently open for people aged over 18. Clothed audience members will not be admitted.
If you want to see the show but keep your pants on, you can head along from January 7-10; 15-17; 22-23. As the performers in these shows are nude these sessions are recommended for people over 16.
Tickets are $65 and are available online.
In other nude news, the date for the Sydney Skinny nude swim has been announced.
It will be held on March 19, 2017. You can get more information about that event here.
