What does cumulative canon mean in dance terms?

In dance, cumulative canon refers to a type of choreography in which each dancer enters the performance at a different time, with their movement phrases accumulatively building upon one another. As each dancer enters, their movement is added to the layers of movement that have already been established, creating a dynamic and constantly evolving composition. The term is often used in contemporary dance and experimental choreography to describe pieces that are characterized by a sense of continual growth and transformation throughout the performance.
