Civilization is downstream of humans ability to collaborate.

All forms of human civilizations, are the result of that specific feature of humans.

Choreography as a practice, if approached with this notion in mind, is an ideal space where one can study how human collaboration functions, which environment enhances and which blocks collaborative behavior, what type of incentives drive different types of collaborative outcomes and how the emergence of value, both for the individuals and the group, is closely related to the quality of that collaborative state of things.

In that sense, choreography, is a study of civilization itself.
