Hello Naomi,
Thank you so much for your entire great response to my post and to all of you who have so kindly responded so far! There is a certain um, holistic tone about the above, that particularly "resonates" with me, puns intended...?! Anything to "create community", on so many levels... Now, to get the whole planet massaging/being massaged... Yikes, I'm about to get banished to the "Backstage" list again...:o)
I actually used to incorporate a similar kind of massage thing with our group warmup, but I have always unfortunately felt and still feel under time constraints in our show to do more stuff like this, including the various dance/movement ideas that have been raised... Hmm... the sound of an introvert with a loud voice thinking in cyberspace...:o) Maybe I'll see what our producers/cast would think of expanding the warmup time...
Blessings.
Michael
