Would I have gone onstage naked?

No I would not. In The Promised Land by Bill T. Jones I understand and appreciate what he was doing, but I would not be comfortable lending my naked body to his performance. It takes a very strong person to be naked in front of others judging eyes. 

Another thing I wanted to talk about was the use of bodies rather than costumes or a set. This was innovative and it definitely helps tell the story.  It reminds me of Stowe's use of dialect to tell a stronger story. Maybe other authors and creators could use unusual elements to help tell their stories. That will gain more attention, which is usually what people want in spreading messages.
