dinoland
A collective wonder-world made from ferocious play, a dramatic claw to the heart and a tickle in the brain.
DinoLand is a full-length dance film created by Rock Bottom Movement, in collaboration with 53 dance students and numerous production students at Toronto Metropolitan University's Creative School in the Fall of 2021.
