Thanks Dave! You have been quite helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to brainstorm suggestions.
Some of your ideas sound quite fun to play with, but might be problematic in practice. The thing that's easy to forget is that our poses are still. I mean, with three posers there is always constant motion and some element of one of the puppets is being moved. But I wonder if a cowbell or ping pong ball might require movement by the puppet to really come to life. Maybe I am lacking imagination.
And if a poser put whipped cream or chocolate syrup on me, Andrew couldn't lick it off. At best it would get smeared around and remain for the rest of the performance. Perhaps that's still interesting although I wonder if coating our bodies in oil at some point during the sequence might achieve the same effect in a more aesthetic way. I think the glistening of oil could add something and it would be interesting to see what kinds of poses might be enhanced by the slippery effect.
My favorite from your list is rope! In fact I am quite intrigued by the idea that the puppets could be bound in various ways. We definitely included themes of dominance and submission in the poses. We go through a sequence with Andrew grabbing a fistful of my hair while I'm on my knees, his hand on my neck, me posed like I'm going to take a facial with my tongue out, holding my breasts, etc. I wonder what it would be like to introduce rope. My hands tied behind my back, or my ankles tied to my thighs. Or even having Andrew and I bound together in interesting poses. I am no expert in bondage, but I have a feeling Glenn (one of the guy posers) would be really excited to run with that idea.
Thanks again!!
