Massage Therapy/Art Connection

I have been extremely lax in my posts and for that I apologize. I have been spending every free moment studying bones and muscles and practicing strokes for my massage therapy course.

My artist friend, Melanie (whose web content you can find linked on my website) has suggested a collaboration. Some of her work consists of furniture-like structures made to cradle, house or otherwise support the human body in various positions. Stay with me here. She expressed an interest in the draping and positioning of the body for various massage therapy techniques. She was also interested in the construction and versatility of the massage table.

I think if we can piggyback on her previous work and incorporate what I'm learning into some kind of interactive draping/human positioning performance piece... or something. All this stuff is still in it's infant stages. But I would love to explore this further and create something collaborative. I haven't done anything like that in a long time. Time to start brain storming.
