Join us in celebrating screendance that bites, stings, and soars.
WildDogs is a project of W&M Physical Theatre (W&M Dance Projects). Our mission is to develop an open, diverse, and exciting screendance festival for international viewers, connecting and stimulating audiences through a curated selection of the best dance on film from around the world. We strive to create an event that stimulates, eliminates boundaries, inspires dialogue, and sets new trends in dance and cinema.
