Existence of an underlying absolute choreographic phenomenon

Determine whether the choreographic concepts of time, space, and movement point to an underlying absolute phenomenon analogous to a fixed spacetime background in physics, and characterize how such an absolute would structure, interact with, and recede from human attention.

Background

Building on the inseparability of choreographic time, space, and movement within Wilson’s practice, the authors consider whether these embodied concepts indicate a deeper, possibly absolute structure comparable to the fixed spacetime background in physics.

They further note the tension between choreographic structures and audience perception, suggesting that if such an absolute exists, its relationship to human attention would be a critical part of the theoretical framework still to be uncovered.

References

Yet, despite this, I wonder if these choreographic concepts do point to some underlying “absolute” phenomenon (akin to the fixed physical spacetime background).
