Get some visual interest into what you do, and make it easy for your
audience to understand the connection between what you're doing and
what they are hearing.
Get a control surface that you can stand up with, so you can trigger
sequences, samplers, or play notes while looking at the audience,
instead of at a synth.
Position your MOTM rack so that the audience can see all the blinky
lights.
Hook a pedal into your MOTM so you can control filters, etc, with your
feet.
Get a cheap set of used drum pads off of eBay and use them to trigger
synth sounds.
Check out theremins - people love them because they are so visual.
Several synth makers put theremin-like controllers on their gear,
too.
If you have a sampler, get somebody up from the audience, sample them
talking, and work that into your music.
Move around!
