Questions for The Choreographer

I have much to blog about regarding the classes I'm taking: the organization and dissemination of a specific exercise, differing teaching styles, using recorded music in class vs. live music, how much deeper one can go in a two hour class vs. a 1 hr. 15 minute class and how do you still make it a full experience...
but first- some questions that buzz in my mind after taking technique classes that might be good companion questions for a student taking a release technique class at the same time they are taking a choreography class too:

1) make a series of movements that continually fall off the center axis of the body. Start vertical, fall off vertical but keep coming back to a long center axis, even if it remains off balance.

2) make a movement chain on the floor with one surface of the body always touching the floor. start and end on the ground.

3) create a series of winding up and then unwinding movements in a cohesive grouping of movement ideas.

More later.
